This project will complete the MORVEL models for present day plate motion. MORVEL is a successor to NUVE-1 and NUVEL-1A. The MORVEL data consists almost entirely of spreading rates from marine magnetic anomalies and transform-fault azimuths from marine bathymetric data, and are a significant improvement on prior data sets. Two models will be constructed, one that averages motion over the shortest geological interval possible for a given plate boundary, and a second that uniformly averages motion over the past 3.16 Ma.

该项目将完成当今板运动的Morvel模型。 Morvel是NUVE-1和NUVEL-1A的继任者。 MOLVEL数据几乎完全包括来自海洋磁异常的扩散速率和来自海洋测深数据的转化过失方位角，并且对先前数据集有了重大改进。 将构建两个模型，一个模型平均在给定板边界的最短地质间隔上平均运动，而在过去的3.16 mA中平均运动均匀地平均运动。
