Sedimentary Rock Formation Stages Course
This course teaches sedimentary rock formation from source materials to basin deposition. Students build stratigraphic logs, interpret fluvial-deltaic systems, predict properties of sandstone, shale, and limestone, and apply facies analysis and diagenesis to geology and geography projects. It equips learners with skills for realistic stratigraphic modeling and confident subsurface interpretations in real-world applications.

What will I learn?
Explore sedimentary rock formation stages from weathering and transport to deposition and lithification. Master interpreting grain size, cements, porosity, and structures to create stratigraphic logs for river-to-coast sequences. Develop skills to analyze successions, enhance geological reports, and make reliable surface and subsurface interpretations.
