Google Earth as geoscience data browser project

About This Project

We develop tools that help displaying various geoscience data on Google Earth*1. Google Earth uses KML*2 files to import data. What we provide here are some KML generators, which convert several geoscience data to KML files.

These KML generators are available as web applications on this site. We would appreciate if you use them and give us feedbacks.
