What will I learn?
This course provides a practical guide to mastering plate reconstructions from 300 million years ago to the present. Participants learn key plate-tectonic concepts, evidence from paleomagnetism and seafloor spreading, tools like GPlates and PALEOMAP, and time-slice mapping techniques. Apply these to paleoclimate studies, resource evaluation, and hazard assessment, gaining skills to produce authoritative technical reports.
