Claim 7:
8. A method, comprising:
obtaining, from at least one server accessed over a network, a plate model, wherein the plate model includes one or more geodynamic units (GDUs), each GDU including a GDU identifier, each GDU representing a different geological region:
receiving a user-defined geospatial data of a desired geological region;
performing an intersection operation between the user-defined geospatial data and the plurality of GDUs of the plate model, the intersection operation assigning one of the GDU identifiers to the user-defined geospatial data;
obtaining, from at least one of the servers, one or more Euler rotation poles, each Euler rotation pole based on a user-specified geological age, each Euler rotation pole being associated with one of the GDUs via the GDU identifier of the associated GDU; and
reconstructing the user-defined geospatial data to the user-specified geological age using the Euler rotation pole for the user-specified geological age at the assigned GDU identifier, the reconstruction a reconstructed paleogeographic position of the user-defined geospatial data at the user-specified geological age.
