ADVANCED TOPICS IN BASIN SEDIMENTOLOGY AND STRATIGRAPHY

Credit Hours: 3 · Graduate

This course will investigate the processes that lead to the development of sedimentary stratigraphy across a continuum of depositional environments, including: fluvial, deltaic, coastal near-shore, continental shelf and slope and abyssal settings. Material will include transport linkages based on studies from modern settings, and will also cover the unique stratigraphic signatures preserved in ancient depositional systems.
