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