[GPlates-discuss] How to check the min and max velocities in GPlates?

[Nan Zhang]

Hi Sabin, I read through your paper. It is a good paper, while it does address my issue. My question is how to find a tool in GPlates interface, to do a statistics for the loaded velocity field (the max, min, and mean velocity magnitude). Besides Christina's suggestion early on, is there a direct tool in GPlates?

Hi Nan,

Please check this paper that talks about all of these things:

Hi all,



I loaded Seton et al., 2012 data to generate some plate velocity files from 200Ma to the present day. One thing I want to check is the minimum and maximum velocity magnitudes. Who can give me some instruction?



Bests,

Nan
