What will I learn?
This Continental Drift Course offers a concise, practical route to mastering plate reconstructions from 300 Ma to the present day. Learners grasp fundamental plate-tectonic concepts, evidence from paleomagnetism and seafloor spreading, digital software such as GPlates and PALEOMAP, plus time-slice mapping techniques. Participants apply these to palaeoclimate studies, resource evaluation, and hazard assessment, culminating in the ability to produce precise technical reports and briefings supported by robust data.
