R Code Supporting the Manuscript: Using Stochastic Point Pattern Analysis to Track Regional Orientations of Magmatism During the Transition to Cenozoic Extension and Rio Grande Rifting, Southern Rocky Mountains

September 29, 2023

This repository contains code that supports ongoing research in the southern Rocky Mountains in Colorado and northern New Mexico. This region hosted intracontinental magmatism that developed during a tectonic transition from shortening (Laramide orogeny, ca. 75 to 40 Ma) through extension and rifting. The code in this repository presents a novel approach that uses stochastic weighted bootstrap simulations of a large set of geochronology data to better understand how the regional orientations of magmatism shifted during this time period.
