Tomopac2: an unfolded-slab plate reconstruction validated via mantle circulation models in a closed-loop experiment

<p dir="ltr"><i>Tomopac2 plate tectonic reconstruction files for the software GPlates</i></p><p dir="ltr">In this folder are the GPlates files for Version 1 of the global plate tectonic reconstruction model TOMOPAC2. The TOMOPAC2 model is a topologically-closed, global plate tectonic model with an enhanced circum-Pacific plate tectonic history using structurally-restored slabs from mantle seismic tomography as a prioritized constraint. The plate reconstruction is validated using mantle circulation models by reproducing slab structures comparable to those in the input seismic tomography</p><p dir="ltr">Associated publication: Chen YW, Wu J, Bunge HP, Stotz I, Robl G, Schuberth BSA (submitted) Tomopac2: an unfolded-slab plate reconstruction validated via mantle circulation models in a closed-loop experiment.
