Digital Tectonic Activity Map
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (USA)
The Digital Tectonic Activity Map (DTAM) is a new visualization tool for both
researcher and educator alike to better understand tectonic activity of our
planet for the past 1 million years. DTAM is a Geographical Information System
(GIS) that displays a realistic synoptic view of present global tectonism by
filling in the cartographic gap between conventional geological maps and plate
reconstruction maps. The DTAM was created using current global datasets of
seismicity, volcanism, and plate motions that were integrated with topography
and bathymetry measurements derived from satellite gravity data. Macroscopic
structural features were integrated via field studies from various researchers,
space geodesy, and space-borne imagery (e.g. astronaut photography, Landsat).
This integrative technique provides a new and unique visualization tool that
presents an actual representational view of global tectonics rather than the
traditional schematic illustrations (i.e. plate maps) of the past. In English.
