What will I learn?
This course offers a straightforward path to mastering plate reconstructions from 300 million years ago to now. You'll grasp key plate-tectonic ideas, evidence from paleomagnetism and ocean floors, tools like GPlates and PALEOMAP, plus time-slice mapping techniques. Apply these to study ancient climates, find resources, assess risks, and create solid technical reports with reliable data.
