Earth Dynamics Research Group

We are an academic research group that studies the dynamic distribution and evolution of tectonic plates on Earth through time.

Shout out to @CurtinUni’s Professor Zheng-Xiang Li for being named a 2024 @Science_Academy Fellow for his outstanding #research into ancient #supercontinents and #platetectonics, which has reshaped our understanding of Earth’s history. 🌏🌟👉 https://t.co/Lgve9fgBkl #FellowsAA

[Australian Academy of Science @Science_Academy]

Emeritus Prof Zheng-Xiang Li FAA (@CurtinUni)has redefined our understanding of Earth's internal mechanisms. The distinguished geoscientist is known for his transformative work on Earth's geological processes. His work led to the discovery of ancient supercontinents Rodinia and Nuna, and extended our knowledge of Earth's history by 2000 million years. #FellowsAA
