What will I learn?
The Principles of Stratigraphy Course equips you with practical skills to interpret rock sequences, apply relative dating laws, and reconstruct chronological histories from field data. You will learn to identify intrusions, unconformities, terraces, and sedimentary structures, while integrating fossils, radiometric ages, and regional correlations to create confident, well-supported stratigraphic reports.
