GEOL 362 - Principles of Stratigraphy and Sedimentation Credits: 4 Description The analysis and application of stratigraphic concepts, and the genesis and classification of sediments. Study of regional stratigraphic patterns and their related sedimentary environments.
Student Learning Outcomes
- Analyze and classify sedimentary rocks in field and laboratory.
- Compare facies and facies stacking patterns to reconstruct ancient depositional environments.
- Classify common sedimentary textures and structures formed in different depositional environments.
- Differentiate the processes that control formation, transportation, and deposition of sediments.
- Distinguish diagenetic processes and products associated with sediment burial and lithification after deposition.
- Classify spatial and temporal facies variations in a sequence stratigraphic framework.
- Compare concepts of stable and radiogenic isotopes to interpret paleoenvironmental changes in Earth’s history.
