Scripts and notebooks (where possible) related to the AGU 2024 talk: Plate Tectonic Reconstructions: GPlates, GMT, Python, and the Path Ahead (Nicky Wright, Sabin Zahirovic, John Cannon, Xiaodong Qin, Ben Mather, Maria Seton, R. Dietmar Müller).

Includes:

• age_grid_animations.ipynb: notebook to download and get plate reconstruction data using GPlately, and plot using pyGMT
• paleobathymetry.ipynb: notebook to download and get plate reconstruction data using GPlately, calculate paleobathymetry using pybacktrack, and plot using pyGMT
• gplates_animation.sh: bash script that uses GMT to plot spinning globe showcasing various things exported out of GPlates (reconstructed features, velocities, reconstructed rasters), and age/paleobathymetry grids

Also mentioned in talk:

• Predicting Slab Flux example using GPlately
• Example of fluxes across Andes latitudes through time from Seton et al. 2023
