[GPlates-discuss] Retreiving set of relative Euler poles

[Christian.Heine at shell.com]

Douwe,

doesn’t the following sequence do what you want?


1)      Fix Africa/701

2)      Reconstruction -> Export, set interval to 10 Myrs

3)      “Add export” -> Chose “equivalent total rotation” and select format

4)      Export.

Cheers,
Christian

Subject: [GPlates-discuss] Retreiving set of relative Euler poles

Hi all,

We have recently developed a tool on Paleomagnetism.org<https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2FPaleomagnetism.org&data=01%7C01%7Cchristian.heine%40shell.com%7Cffe73a00708d4d4ef24c08d47299a6d4%7Cdb1e96a8a3da442a930b235cac24cd5c%7C0&sdata=8C1BIdfuRt%2BrTDEw9NF6pQrykvQWXA1h%2BurGdhPoNEk%3D&reserved=0> to easily calculate a Global Apparent Polar Wander Path into the coordinates of a block in a GPlates reconstruction, so one can test the predictions of the reconstruction against paleomagnetic data.

To this end, one should fill out a set of total reconstruction poles of the block of choice relative to South Africa (701) in 10 Myr time intervals. I was wondering, does GPlates have a tool to export such a set of poles in one go? Getting the pole time slice by time slice is getting tedious…:)

Cheers!
Douwe
