The Fellowship aims to reveal the underlying processes of plate tectonic cycles, paleogeography, sea-level change and the formation of ore deposits and hydrocarbon resources since the explosion of life during the Cambrian period. Using a mantle convection framework, we will discover how the cyclicity in mid-ocean ridge creation and the subduction dynamics associated with the aggregation and dispersal of Gondwana and Pangea has been driving plate tectonic cycles and cyclicity at the Earth's surface. A Virtual Geological Observatory will transform our understanding of this ancient world by fusing geodata-mining and high-performance computer simulation outputs in the plate-tectonic context.

该研究金旨在揭示寒武纪生命爆发以来板块构造旋回、古地理、海平面变化以及矿床和油气资源形成的基本过程。使用地幔对流框架，我们将发现如何在大洋中脊创建和俯冲动力学与冈瓦纳和盘古大陆的聚合和分散的周期性一直驱动板块构造周期和周期性在地球表面。虚拟地质观测站将通过融合板块构造背景下的地理数据挖掘和高性能计算机模拟输出，改变我们对这个古老世界的理解。
