The workshop is scheduled just before the EGU European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2005 in Vienna (24-29 April). The objective of the First CHRONOS Paleogeography workshop is to bring researchers together, who are willing to contribute to this community effort in various ways, including: * giving access to open data bases useful for paleogeography; * helping to develop open source software that will be used to create/manage paleogeographic data bases (i.e. data broken up by tectonic plate and time coded) and interfacing them with plate reconstructions, map making tools and dynamic earth models.
