Brief description Planet-scale reorganizations of the plate-mantle system. Vast sedimentary basins, fold belts and associated resources represent the main source of Australia's wealth, formed largely as consequences of major global tectonic events. We propose to connect two key national Simulation and Modelling infrastructures to a novel geodynamic modelling tool, developed specifically for modelling plate tectonics at the global and regional scale and suitable to unravel the causes and consequences of sudden global plate tectonic reorganizations. The knowledge-base derived from this work will considerably improve our understanding of catastrophic tectonic events affecting plate boundaries and plate interiors.
