Thomas van der Linden

LinGeo is the professional and project portfolio of Thomas van der Linden, presenting work at the intersection of geoscience, mapping, data visualization, and digital tools. The site brings together interactive maps, research resources, software, and consultancy-related experience. Its featured projects include paleogeographical reconstructions that can be explored across space and time and compared with independent data, as well as the Atlas of the Underworld, an interactive map and 3D globe showing slab locations and geology alongside seismic tomography.

LinGeo also showcases interactive 3D topography viewed on a globe, including material used as input for an animation professional, and an overview of map projections in OpenLayers. Practical tools include a viewer for reading and plotting GEF and several XML data formats, with support for creating geological cross-sections, and an application that converts images or maps into LEGO-style brick designs. The portfolio also describes soil-investigation supervision for a dyke reinforcement design project.
