Compare the cost of digitizing an 8X10 core photograph ($3) to the original cost of acquiring a high quality core photograph ($10-$25) and its original color and fidelity is preserved forever. A reasonable investment, when you consider the original cost of acquiring the image. Air is to photographic negatives and prints what smoke is to lungs, very damaging. Once an image is captured, its negative and print immediately begin deteriorating. Slowly, the original photograph will definitely degrade. We only have to browse through the family picture album to confirm this reality. Photographs should be digitized as soon as possible to preserve their original color and fidelity. Once a photograph is digitized, it immediately increases in value and becomes much more useful to your staff. A digital image can be instantly viewed, duplicated, analyzed, used in reports, and transferred to and from any desktop on your computer network. For many organizations that means world wide access; which is a far cry from a single photograph in a library of prints available at a storage site that only a few have access to. Processing photographic media is handled in a fully turnkey manner, from scanning to final image processing. Scanning is only the beginning of the process. All images are scanned in 32 bit color, have the white balance reset, digitally enhanced, and are saved in a customer selected file format. A minimum of two files are usually generated, one a high resolution JPEG or PhotoCD archive file and the other a lower resolution file to use in reports and catalogs. JPEG and PhotoCD are the principal formats used by ALT for high resolution image archiving because of their high compression rates and cross platform accessibility.

Street Clearwater FL 34616 USA 813-443-6807 8500 A powerful GIS system that supports many functions; about the only thing it doesn't seem to support is image processing (it requires a user relational data base). It uses a typical Mac user interface to make available many tools for digitizing and creating map layers. The program offers a bewildering variety of input and output formats; it can, for example, translate between ARC/INFO data base files and its own and will read data in standard USGS formats. Maps can be georeferenced according to a large number of projection models. Mapping options produce contour maps and a variety of base maps. It can take advantage of a network to provide distributed jobs linked to a central data base and calculates in the background under Multifinder. The program outputs graphic data to standard Mac printers and has its own plotter driver. MapLink ($495) supports translation to other formats, Map View ($495) permits coordinate changes and georeferencing and MapGraf Dispklay($850) is run time viewer that allows full access to data but no modification. MCadContour 4.0 ASC - Aupperle Services and Contracting #406 720 14 S.W. Calgary Alberta T2R ON1 CAN (403) 228-0982 800 Version 4.0 of its impressive and easy-to-use MCadContour application. MCadContour is compatible with all macs from the Mac Plus up and can be installed with or without floating point support - it currently runs on PowerMacs in emulation mode but a native PowerMac version should be available by the time you read this. Under the MultiFinder and System 7.x most functions, including data importing, can occur in the background. Under System 7.x MCadContour supports Publish & Subscribe, a limited suite of Apple events, Baloon Help, Virtual Memory and Drag and Drop launching. Well or cultural data can be imported in text format (though a very intelligent import routine), digitized directly though the built-in ADB digitizing tablet interface or read in MiniCad+ format. Data can be imported in a wide variet Prdinate systems, including longitude/latitude and single- or multiple zone UTM. Each individual imported well may include multiple datums (i.e. formation tops) as well as other textural or numeric information and can be displayed as a standard AGI well symbol on maps. Digitized photographs and other PICT files may also imported in a special graphics layer to display along with main map windows. This highly interactive contouring program supports both conventional gridding and triangulation surface modeling, contouring smoothing and labelling, on-screen editing of contour polygons (including vertex editing and cutting and joining contours) and and unique dynamic object tags that allow objects or groups of objects to be removed from the display with a single click. Volumetrics may be calculated between grid surfaces or within user-defined zones on a grid surface. A variety of fiducial grids can be displayed, regardless of the input coordinates. Changing scale is as simple as choosing a scale from a menu and allowing automatic redraw of the window. Extensive data filtering and selection tools are available within the mapping environment. Contours can be ÔbrokenÕ along user-drafted lines (i.e. faults) and offset along the fault a user specified distance. This requires the user to have some idea of the amount of lateral offset of contours from one surface to another, which is a bit challenging, but can be quite useful. This breaking feature also allows one to draft an area within the map from which contour lines can be clipped away; good for title boxes or for areas you just a soon not have people see. In addition to 2-D contour maps MCadContour now supports interactive 3-D surfaces and 2-D cross sections that are linked to the main map and tagged object display windows. In the 3-D window single or multiple stacked surfaces can be shown and ÔholesÕ can be carved into the surfaces to allow visualization of lower layers. Individual surfaces can be displayed or removed and can be graphically edited for surface color, shading, etc. Surface orientation and shading are controlled by a pair of intuitive graphical controls. 2-D cross sections are generated by drawing straight lines of section or by clicking on wells in the main map window and having the program interpolate and connect tops. Initial cross sections are usually incomplete and require additional editing, but since all unit boundaries are editable polygons, additional pattern filling and editing can be easily accomplished using available graphical and textural tools. Up to 10 cross sections may be defined and active for any one map.Data is limited by RAM, a one megabyte Mac can contour approximately 10,000 data points and a five megabyte Mac can handle 60,000 to 75,000 data points.

Paleoclimate Earth In Motion Technologies 2476 Bolsover, Suite 491 Houston TX 77005 USA (713) 660-0231 399 A desktop climate simulator has been developed based on the Parametric Method. The simulator can run under the Apple Macintosh*, UNIX*, VAX*, and MS-DOS operating systems (4 Mb RAM required). The user provides a reconstruction of paleo-shelf edges, coastlines and mountain belts (20 Phanerozoic paleogeographic timeslice interpretation provided), an axial tilt (season), and a pole-to-equator thermal gradient, and the program will simulate pressure, wind direction and speed, upwelling, precipitation, and temperature. The user can also set the grid spacing of the simulation, thereby controlling resolution and calculation speed. Simulations are usually completed within 3 minutes, allowing rapid turn-around time for results. Output is in a format compatible with the PGIS/Mac (above) and can take the form of contours and/or symbols. Output can also be directed to ASCII text files, which can then be read by spreadsheet, database, contouring, or statistical analysis programs to aid in comparison of sensitivity testing or model-to-model comparisons. Recent comparisons with the Low-Resolution Global Circulation Model indicate that these models produce similar reconstructions of the gross aspects of climate. Developer's license with source code is $4000.

From Marathon Research. Windows version available. PGIS/MAC Earth In Motion Technologies 2476 Bolsover, Suite 491 Houston TX 77005 USA (713) 660-0231 395 The Paleogeographic Information System/Mac* (PGIS/Mac) is a system for display, maintenance, and analysis of plate tectonic information. It is also capable of integrating user-supplied data into a plate tectonic context. The system runs on a Apple Macintosh* (Mac II or better, 4-8 Mb RAM, with color preferred). The program can produce color plate tectonic reconstructions for any time since the Cambrian, plotted at any scale in one of three map projections (rectilinear, Mercator, Mollweide). The user can easily plot and interact with their own data on these reconstructions. The user interacts with the data on the reconstruction in a way similar to the use of a Geographic Information System (GIS, hence the name). The user can supply points (e.g. well locations, fossil locations, paleomagnetic sample sites), line segments (e.g. faults, contours, lineaments, seismic lines), and/or polygons (e.g. paleogeographies, exposed outcrop boundaries) in present day geographic coordinates (accuracy +/- 9 meters). The correct plate tectonic element is automatically assigned, and the data are moved to positions appropriate for the geologic time selected. If the user supplies data points, the size, color, and symbol type can be set. When the user clicks on the symbol that represents a single point datum, a window pops up with a report of all the attributes of that point. If line segments are provided, their width and color can be controlled. If polygon data is displayed, the color-fill as well as the pattern-fill can be defined. When the user clicks inside of a polygon, a report is displayed detailing the attributes of that polygon. A high resolution plate tectonic model is provided with the system (from the PALEOMAP Project, C. R. Scotese). This model can be easily modified by the user, both in terms of the position of the plates, and the addition of new/different plates. Sample point, line, and polygon data sets are provided to serve as a template for user data. Also provided with the program are a series of 20 Phanerozoic paleogeographic timeslice interpretations (Scotese & Golanka, in press). Output options include standard Macintosh printing functionality (color/gray scale if available), or maps can be saved as PICT files, suitable for use with Canvas*, MacDraw*, etc. The PGIS/Mac is also capable of saving data in a format that is suitable for input into a standard GIS (e.g. ZMAP*, ARC/INFO*). Animations can be made for user-supplied time ranges and intervals, and saved as PICTs for importing in animation specific software (e.g. MacroMind Director*). Data is input as standard text files, but can be stored in database, word processor, and/or spreadsheet programs. Input links to mainframe databases (Oracle*, INGRES*, DB2*) are also being developed. Phil 1.0 Marco Polo Software 11767 Katy Freeway Suite 330 Houston TX 77079-1716 USA (713) 293-7727 395 A monochrome version of Phil 1.5 that includes many of the features of the color version. However, graphics include only geologic cross sections, relative sea level analysis, stratigraphic columns and chronostratigraphy. Models are limited to 600 columns and 200 time steps. This will run on any Macintosh with 2 megabytes of memory. Phil 1.5 Marco Polo Software 11767 Katy Freeway Suite 330 Houston TX 77079-1716 USA (713) 293-7727 8500 Interactive program for modeling basin development based on sequence stratigraphy theory. Users can model stratal patterns in tectonic settings such as passive margins, foreland basins, growth faulting, and salt diapirs. Effects of changing sediment volume and type, subsidence, eustacy, erosion, pre-existing basin floor topography, slopes of depositional interfaces, basin floor fan timing and geometry can be tested. Tectonic settings can be modeled by varying the distribution of subsidence/uplift rates with respect to the source of sediment supply. Subsidence rates can be treated as linear or cyclic variables. Clastic or carbonate sediment supplies can be modeled and both traction and suspension sediments are considered. The effects of headward erosion, channel incision and surface beveling can be introduced. For those with either lots of time or a fast Macintosh an elastic algorithm can be used to account for lithospheric flexure due to sediment loading. Basin edge formation can be displayed as a color, animated sequence during model execution. Color graphical representations include geologic cross section, paleobathymetry, chronostratigraphy, depositional environments, relative sea level analysis and stratigraphic columns. Output is either textual or in PICT format. Requires a Mac II with a minimum of 8 megabytes of memory, also a version for the PowerMac. Phil E Marco Polo Software 11767 Katy Freeway Suite 330 Houston TX 77079-1716 USA (713) 293-7727 925 Older, less sophisticated version of Phil 1.5, only in 680x0 version. PHIL Level 1.5 Batch Marco Polo Software 11767 Katy Freeway Suite 330 Houston TX 77079-1716 USA (713) 293-7727 7500 Uses stratigraphic inversion technology in the simulation. It accepts observations that include digitized seismic horizons and a paleobathymetric model and converges towards a model that is the closest match between the constraints, providing a final statistical analysis of the differences between model and observation. As the name implies it can remote build stratigraphic models, queueing up to 20 projects and producing binary result files, movies and the resulting figures of these projects. The program will also build interposing models between two end-member models, allowing a pseudo 3D model to be constructed along basin margin strike by changing sediment supply, subsidence rates or location and magnitude of faults.

Unit Cell Parameters Dr. Gary Novak Geology Department California State University at Los Angeles Los Angeles CA 90032 USA A set of Excel spreadsheet templates into which the user enters hkl and 2¿ values to give unit cell parameters. From Sowerbutts Universal Map Digitizing Program Earth In Motion Technologies 2476 Bolsover, Suite 491 Houston TX 77005 USA (817) 273-2978 This program provides map projection and scale independent digitizing for Apple Macintosh and UNIX operating systems. The user digitizes a grid of known latitude and longitude pairs. This grid provides the basis for interpolation into regions of unknown coordinates. This program is useful for digitizing any data (geological, geophysical, political) that has been recorded in analog map form. Data is captured with a maximum accuracy of 9 meters (decimal degrees with 4 decimal places of accuracy). Output format is appropriate for capturing attributes associated with plate tectonic modelling, but simple filters can be written to transform the data into other useful formats. Output format is compatible with the PGIS/Mac. We assume that the user has a serial-mode digitizer available (Apple Desktop Bus* version under development). Price to be determined.
