What will I learn?
This course offers a clear, hands-on guide to mastering plate reconstructions from 300 million years ago to the present. You will grasp key plate-tectonic ideas, evidence from paleomagnetism and seafloor spreading, tools such as GPlates and PALEOMAP, plus time-slice mapping techniques. Put these skills to work on paleoclimate studies, resource evaluation, and hazard assessment, ending with the ability to create precise technical reports and presentations supported by solid data.
