How the Earth works - toward building a new tectonic paradigm: This fellowship project aims to build on the latest technological and conceptual advances to establish the patterns of Earth evolution, and use this information to examine a ground-breaking geodynamic hypothesis which links cyclic plate aggregation and dispersion to deep Earth processes. Half a century after the inception of plate tectonics theory, we are still unsure how the Earth 'engine' works, particularly the forces that drive plate tectonics. The project involves extensive national and international collaboration to potentially create a paradigm shift in our understanding of global tectonics, and hopes to contribute to an understanding of the formation and distribution of Earth resources to provide a conceptual framework for their exploration.

地球如何运作-建立一个新的构造范式：该奖学金项目旨在建立在最新的技术和概念进步，以建立地球演化的模式，并利用这些信息来研究一个突破性的地球动力学假设，该假设将周期性板块聚集和分散与地球深部过程联系起来。在板块构造理论诞生后的世纪，我们仍然不确定地球“引擎”是如何工作的，特别是驱动板块构造的力量。该项目涉及广泛的国家和国际合作，有可能在我们对全球构造的理解中创造一个范式转变，并希望有助于了解地球资源的形成和分布，为其探索提供一个概念框架。
