Simulating Earth expansion using GPlates?

Worldbuilding
1

Hello,

I am trying to develop a 3D visualization of the Expanding Earth hypothesis.

Has anyone attempted to use GPlates for this purpose? Does anyone have any idea about how to go about this?

My efforts using AI-generated python scripts have hit a wall. I’m aware that pygplates supports a variable radius, but I’m not sure how to incorporate rotation files into my pipeline.

If anyone here is (or knows someone who might be) interested in doing some freelance work on this, please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have done a good amount of work with GPlates and pygplates, especially around custom reconstruction pipelines and rotation files. This sounds like a really interesting project and right up my alley.

I would be happy to chat more about the scope and help you get it across the finish line.

You can reach out to me on my email here
