You could call it experimental plate tectonics. Predicting the Mountains of the Future requires developing rules and recipes of geological behaviour. Geologists at Utrecht University s Faculty of Geosciences drew up a series of such rules the first in the world to describe how mountain ranges will look in the future. Developing these rules allows using paleogeographic reconstruction to predict modern geological phenomena, such as ore deposits. Failure to predict correctly means the reconstructions and, or the rules and recipes contain errors, and drives targeted research and innovation.
