'TETHYS' is an interdisciplinary GIS database project funded by NSF, the database is build to act as a tool for researchers, educators, and students studying continental collisions and a means to better characterize natural hazards in one of the world's most densely populated regions. Our ArcIMS servers and tools provide geophysical, geochemical, geological and remote sensing data on the web in GIS format.

Research Opportunities

Tethys extends today - via the Mediterranean, Asia Minor, the Mid-East, the Himalayas, and southeast Asia - from Gibraltar to Indonesia.

This project builds on the International Geological Correlation Project (IGCP) 430, a UNESCO-IUGS program addressing links between plate collision responses and Tethyan geologic hazards.
