Explaining the dynamics of past supercontinents, and even predicting future supercontinents, requires a systems theory approach.Ĭhen Fangfang 陈芳芳, Masters student (2022–) The Earth system is completely integrated, but plate tectonic theory is not. My areas of expertise are palaeomagnetism, cyclostratigraphy, and Earth history.
