What will I learn?
Gain a clear, hands-on guide to expert plate reconstructions from 300 million years ago to now. Master key plate-tectonic ideas, evidence from paleomagnetism and ocean floors, tools like GPlates and PALEOMAP, plus time-based mapping. Use these for past climates, resources, hazards, and end up skilled in writing solid technical reports with reliable data.
