TracTec: oceanic basin age grid algorithm

This video showcases, TracTec, a recently developed an Python-based algorithm that automatically generates grids of the seafloor age (Karlsen et al. [2020] Computers and Geosciences). The animation runs from 400 Million years ago (Ma) to present-day (0 Ma).

The authors’ novel reconstructions of seafloor age and corresponding bathymetry, inferred using the seafloor age-depth relation of Crosby and McKenzie (2009). From the bathymetry models they computed changes in mean ocean depth (red line) and compared it to Phanerozoic sea level reconstructions (blue lines) inferred from the sedimentary record (Hallam, 1992; Haq and Al-Qahtani, 2005; Haq and Schutter, 2008).
