Python Plate Motion Modeling, PyPMM

---

A python package for tectonic plate motion models.

• Forward: Using the specified angular velocity vector to predict the horizontal motion based on given coordinates and geometries.

• Inverse: Using the given velocities, coordinates, and geometries, determine the plate angular velocity vectors, assuming plate rigidity.

Tutorials and notebook will be added.
