[GPlates-discuss] The newest plate motion model based on Seton 2012?

[Sabin Zahirovic]

Hi Wenrong and Nan,

The latest Mesozoic-Cenozoic model is the Muller et al. (2016), which you can find here:
http://www.earthbyte.org/ocean-basin-evolution-and-global-scale-plate-reorganization-events-since-pangea-breakup/

You can find the paper here:
http://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev-earth-060115-012211

We have just submitted a paper describing a 410 to 0 Ma plate motion model, and that will be in the upcoming GPlates 2.0 release.

For much earlier times, I’m aware of the Li et al. (2008) model for Rodinia<http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301926807001635>. You can preview those in the GPlates portal:
http://portal.gplates.org/static/html/rodinia.html

That model is available from the GPlates Tutorial 2.4 (https://sites.google.com/site/gplatestutorials/)

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
Sabin

Subject: Re: [GPlates-discuss] The newest plate motion model based on Seton 2012?

Hi, Nan, here is the link for the most recent model for the Phanerozoic (http://www.earthbyte.org/category/resources/)

Other models you may be interested are :

(1) Wright et al., (2013) in Biogeosciences. Their model is for entire Phanerozoic.

(2) Domeier and Torsvik (2014) in Geoscience Frontiers. They presented a model from 410-250 Ma.

Following Nan's question, any one could recommend a good plate reconstruction model (not necessarily for the GPlates) for the Neo-proterozoic...


best,


Wenrong

Hi Sabin,

Have you recovered from the conference?

Could you give me an link for the newest plate motion model you mentioned? Is it still covering the last 200 Ma, or you have even longer plate motion history?

Bests,
Nan Zhang
