Plate Tectonics Course
Gain strong knowledge in plate tectonics through practical case studies, working with GPS and seismic data, and analysing hazards. You'll create straightforward, evidence-based reports linking plate movements to earthquakes, tsunamis, risks, land planning, and key geological choices. Perfect for building solid skills in earth sciences.
