Description and Objectives
This course will introduce students to the basic principles used in the study of sedimentology and stratigraphy. This will include a focus on the processes that influence the formation of sediments and sedimentary rocks, as well as focusing on the physical, chemical, and biological aspects of sediments and sedimentary rocks. Special emphasis will also be placed on the features of sedimentary rocks that are used to make environmental and climatic interpretations, and on the techniques used to put strata in context of time and space. Lab exercises will be incorporated into the lectures and will be used to reinforce major topics.
