A range of base maps and data projections in AusGeochem. (a) Data interpolation tool, contouring apatite fission-track ages in eastern Africa in spherical projection. (b) Apatite fission-track from central Gondwana in their 132 Ma paleogeographic context according to the plate tectonic model of Merdith et al.54. (c) Apatite fission-track dashboard synthesising data from across Australia55 viewed on a radiometrics (U) layer. Dashboards enable multiple data points, chosen using the Select Area tool, to be collectively interrogated via a range of interactive maps, plots and tables. The inset map and all plots can be downloaded as editable svg files. A succinct data table can also be downloaded as a csv file. A downloadable reference list for all selected data points is also automatically generated, ensuring data sources can be appropriately cited. (d) Apatite (U-Th)/He data by rock type on geological map viewed in a 3D perspective. Geological information can be viewed by clicking on a unit of choice. All figure elements were exported from AusGeochem (Version 2.20.79) before being combined and annotated in a third-party graphics editor program.
