To develop a Python package for calculating low-temperature thermochronometric ages using geodynamic numerical models.
Developed an open-source Python package called GDTchron
Used output from geodynamic models to estimate thermochronometric ages
Applied interpolation schemes for thermal histories of particles
Used multicore processors for faster computations
Tested with a simplified geodynamic model and a complex model of rift-inversion orogenesis.
GDTchron successfully calculates ages using time-temperature paths from geodynamic models
The package can be applied to various tectonic settings
Functionality demonstrated with examples of both simple and complex geodynamic scenarios.
