Geoware Digital Posters List

Rather than distributing actual large-format posters via mail, we now offer several poster-sized and wall-sized high-quality maps in the Adobe PDF format distributed on CD/DVDs. All PDFs are designed to be printed on high-quality large-format plotters and cannot be edited. The user may print these out on their own large-format plotter, take the media to a 3rd-party vendor such as Kinko's, or print hard poster boards for professional quality. These maps are all original creations by Paul Wessel using GMT scripts.

The resulting PostScript plots were converted to PDF and are limited to printing only (no editing/copying). To achieve the highest image resolution, the 30x30 arc second SRTM30+ grid was specially processed with GMT and proprietary Geoware tools and resampled at the final pixel resolution (300 dpi) in the map projection used for each map. Tectonic maps have high-quality relocated epicenters based on the International Seismological Center and Holocene volcanoes from the Smithsonian Institution data set.

Buyers of a map must accept the following license terms:

  1. The PDF is for personal use only. The user may print up to two copies of the map.
  2. The PDF or the maps printed from the PDF cannot be distributed to a 3rd party.
Institutions who need to print multiple maps for institution-wide use should contact Geoware for a site-license agreement.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY - THESE ARE PDF VERSIONS OF LARGE POSTERS THAT YOUR MUST PRINT YOURSELF!

Note: For Tsunami Travel Time Maps, see the TSUNAMI page.
