We combine updated GPS velocities from the Nubian (NU), Eurasian (EU), and North American (NA) plates with 500 new 3.16-Myr-average seafloor spreading rates and nine transform fault azimuths from the northern Atlantic and Arctic basin seafloor spreading centers to estimate and test for changes in th...
