The aim of this course is to develop skills in analysing and interpreting the geological materials that fill sedimentary basins. This course involves a combination of theory and practical work, including lectures, and a 4-5 day field class to sedimentary systems. After completing the course students are expected to be able to:
Make and record primary sedimentological and allied stratigraphic observations;
Recognise and analyse the geological record of a range of depositional environments;
Apply methods of sequence stratigraphy to predict facies variations in space and time;
Relate depositional systems to underlying tectonic and climatic processes.
