Short summary
This study presents a new way to model how Earth’s surface changes over time as the deep interior moves. The method tracks the surface directly, allowing clearer and more detailed results worldwide while using less computing power. It improves accuracy compared to existing approaches and makes it easier to connect deep Earth processes with oceans, climate, landscapes, and life through time.
