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'll grasp key plate-tectonic concepts, evidence from paleomagnetism and seafloor spreading, tools like GPlates and PALEOMAP, plus time-slice mapping techniques. Apply these to study past climates, resources, and hazards, ending with skills to create precise technical reports and briefings supported by solid data.
