PMTools is a web application that includes many tools for statistical processing of data obtained during paleomagnetic studies.
Perform component analysis
The Magnetic Treatment Page (PCA) provides classic tools for identifying magnetization components. Work directly with the specimen collection and export the selected directions in any convenient format.
Study the distribution of directions
The Direction Statistics page (DIR) makes it possible to find mean directions using various methods. And on the same page you can conduct paleomagnetic statistical tests to test your hypotheses.
Find Virtual Geomagnetic Poles
To calculate the poles, it is enough to open the corresponding module on the DIR page and simply enter or import the coordinates of the sites (you can even from an XLSX file). And the resulting VGP can be immediately exported in a format suitable for the GPLates and GMap programs.
Interacting with data has never been so easy
All data in PMTools is presented in the form of tables and graphs that are directly related to each other — you can choose the directions (points) you need directly from the tables, tracing them on the graphs, or simply entering them through a special field.
Work with data in any format
The built-in PMTools paleomagnetic data converter allows you to import classic data formats and export them to any convenient format, including Excel (XLSX, CSV).
Forget about any difficulties when working with graphics
All graphs and diagrams in PMTools are written from scratch specifically for displaying paleomagnetic data — they are all prepared in advance for use in publications and presentations, and when you export them, you will receive an SVG file with a clear and easily editable structure.
Comfortable work at any time
In PMTools, you can switch to a dark theme and work comfortably in complete darkness.
