An “unprecedented” model allows us to take a detailed look at Earth’s last 100 million years. From the University of Sydney’s School of Geosciences, Dr. “To predict the future, we need to understand the past,” Tristan Salles said in a statement about the model they just developed.
The new model fixes this: it provides a high-resolution understanding of the complex interplay between plate tectonics, climate, and time that shapes our planet’s face for the first time. He also adds that river basins, which previous models failed to account for in such detail, also take into account the roles of erosion and sediment accumulation on a global scale.
The model breaks down into million-year increments, as you can see above, reaching an “unprecedented” resolution of about 10 kilometers (6 miles) over the last 100 million years. The second author from the Institut des Sciences de la Terre, Dr. According to Laurent Husson, this will allow geoscientists to “understand the Earth’s surface in a more complete and dynamic way.”
