I have created over 600 images from a simulation I ran. I want to convert these images into a GIF format. Can you provide me a way to do so and one that allows me to show each image for >1second.

Warning: broken. Shutter is severely broken in Ubuntu 18.04 and not available in later versions.
Shutter (which you can install from the Ubuntu Software Centre or sudo apt-get install shutter) is a tool which has a variety of options for taking and annotating screenshots. (Note: You can annotate any images of your choice, not just screenshots.)
Yes, using imagemagicks convert tool:
convert -delay 20 -loop 0 frame*.png animated.gif
This will take all of the source frames and will make them into one animated GIF image. The -delay 20 argument will cause a 20 hundredths of a second delay between each frame, and the -loop 0 will cause the gif to loop over and over again.
As for setting the background color for the gif, that can be done with the background and flatten flags:
convert -delay 20 -loop 0 frame*.png -background white -flatten animated.gif
