A new model of the Earth shows how it has evolved over the past 100 million years. This can provide important insights for the future.
Predict the future of our earth? Sounds impossible. However, scientists have succeeded in developing a precise model from which the coming changes on Earth can be better described. This is a milestone, especially in view of the climate crisis with all its consequences.
The impressive animation in the video here or above shows what is special about the model and how the earth has deformed and changed so far.
The authors Dr. Salles, Dr. Claire Mallard and PhD student Beatriz Hadler Boggiani are members of the EarthColab Group, Professors Patrice Rey and Dr. Sabin Zahirovic are part of EarthByte Group. Both groups belong to the School of Geosciences at the University of Sydney. The research was carried out in collaboration with French geoscientists from CNRS France, Université Lyon and ENS Paris.
