What will I learn?
The Continental Drift Course gives you a concise, practical path to mastering plate reconstructions from 300 Ma to today. Learn core plate-tectonic principles, paleomagnetic and seafloor evidence, digital tools like GPlates and PALEOMAP, and time-slice mapping. Apply reconstructions to paleoclimate, resources, and hazards, and finish ready to produce clear technical reports and briefings backed by authoritative data.
