An understanding of the evolution of the lithosphere is fundamental to resolving questions on the origin of life, the evolution and oxygenation of our atmosphere, past climates, mass extinctions, the thermal evolution of Earth, and the interactions between the surficial and deep Earth. The evolution of platetectonicson Earth hashad fundamental effectsofthe evolution ofthe surface environment,and life. However,there islittle consensuson the style oftectonicsin operation on the early Earth, andhow it has changed through time.This coursewill addresswhen andhow the continental lithospherewas generated, when plate tectonics may have begun, the volume of continental lithosphere through Earth history, and whether itprovidesarepresentativerecord ofEarth processes.Furthermore,geophysicalmodelling ofthe thermo-chemical structure of the mantle in a petrologically internally-consistent manner will emphasize that modelling one data type on its own is of very limited value and can lead to highly erroneous conclusions about the physical parameters of the Earth’s mantle. Students should bring their laptop computersin ordertoperformtake-homecomputationalcomponents. 第 1 页 共 3 页 Introduction of Lecturers Peter Cawood 教授 澳大利亚莫纳什大学 Peter Cawood is a field geologist whose research is concerned with the
