# A.9 spotter: backtracking and hotspotting

This package contains the plate tectonic programs backtracker, which you can use to move geologic markers forward or backward in time, hotspotter which generates CVA grids based on seamount locations and a set of absolute plate motion stage poles, and originator, which associates seamounts with the most likely hotspot origins. The package is maintained by Paul Wessel.
