Emeritus Prof Zheng-Xiang Li FAA (@CurtinUni)has redefined our understanding of Earth's internal mechanisms. The distinguished geoscientist is known for his transformative work on Earth's geological processes. His work led to the discovery of ancient supercontinents Rodinia and Nuna, and extended our knowledge of Earth's history by 2000 million years. #FellowsAA
