This is a useful cornerstone for many aspects of geodynamics and this week Boris Robert – previously postdoctoral fellow at the Centre for Earth Evolution and Dynamics Oslo (Norway) and currently visiting scientist at GFZ Potsdam (Germany) – tells us how we may ...[Read More]
Paleogeography – A window into past mantle dynamics
Example of a paleogeographic reconstruction (Scotese, 2014) that shows the possible continent distribution on Earth at 201.6 Ma, featuring the supercontinent Pangea.
