Description
An example of a sort of "total package" mapping commission. Left to right: Endpoint of a tectonic history done in gplates, showing cratons, landmasses, orogenies, subduction zones, large igneous provinces, aulacogens, and hotspot trails; Detailed terrain, sketched out based on the tectonics and then run through erosion simulation in gospl, with wilbur used to make the final map; Koppen-Geiger climate map, produced using the ExoPlaSim climate model and a bit of interpolation to higher resolution; And a sketch of potential areas of rich copper and tin deposits for a bronze age civilization based on the tectonic history.
