An open-source software environment for visualizing and refining plate tectonic reconstructions using high-resolution geological and geophysical data sets
Abstract
We describe a powerful method to explore spatio-temporalrelationships within geological and geophysical data sets byanalyzing the data within the context of tectonic reconstructions.GPlates is part of a new generation of plate reconstructionsoftware that incorporates functionality familiar from GISsoftware with the added dimension of geological time. Here weuse GPlates to reconstruct geological terranes, geophysical grids,and paleomagnetic data within alternative tectonic models of theassembly of Western Australia and the configuration of Rodinia.With the ability to rapidly visualize a diverse range of geologicaland geophysical constraints within different reconstructions,users can easily investigate the implications of different tectonicmodels for reconciling a variety of observations and make moreinformed choices between different models and data.

“However, the Deccan continental fl ood basalts were not antipodal to the 66 Ma Chicxulub crater at the time of the impact, but instead separated by an epicentral distance of ~130° (Williams et al., 2012;Chatterjee et al., 2013).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
