Course Details
GS 436: Sedimentology
The course covers modern and ancient sedimentary environments, including rivers, lakes, eolian, glaciers, shallow seas, delta, estuaries, and deep marine. It also explores interpreting ancient depositional environments, concept of facies, paleocurrents, and provenance. Additionally, the course delves into processes of sediment transport and sedimentary structures, post-depositional sedimentary processes, clastic and carbonate diagenesis, stratigraphy, concepts, and lithostratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy, and sea level changes. Sedimentary basins, classifications, introduction to basin analysis are also covered.
