Course overview
This course aims to develop skills in describing sedimentary rocks, to understand the processes that form sedimentary rocks, and to reconstruct the environments they are deposited in.
Course learning outcomes
- Demonstrate proficiency in common practical skills in describing sedimentary rocks and structures
- Interpret the processes responsible for the deposition of the sediment from the nature of the sediment composition, texture, and sedimentary structures
- Understand the depositional environment of a sedimentary rock package based on recognition of facies associations
- Recognise and explain the methods of carrying out scientific research in the field of sedimentary geology
