Apparent Polar Wander Paths for the Last 320 Million Years from Site-Level Data - 3/1/23

Magnetics Information Consortium (MagIC) via YouTube

Overview

Explore a comprehensive conference talk on the development of a new global Apparent Polar Wander Path (APWP) for the last 320 million years. Delve into the innovative method of calculating APWPs using simulated site-level paleomagnetic data instead of paleopoles. Discover how this approach incorporates spatial and temporal uncertainties from original datasets and utilizes an updated global plate motion model. Learn about the implications of this new APWP, including its smaller uncertainties compared to previous pole-based APWPs and the disappearance of previously identified peaks in APW rates. Gain insights into the robustness of paleomagnetism as a reliable reference frame for reconstructing paleogeography and paleoclimate. Understand the potential for higher-resolution global APWP frames and the need for future paleomagnetic data collection to improve APWP quality and resolution.
