Sedimentology Course
This Sedimentology Fundamentals Course equips learners with essential skills for geology and geography professionals. Master reading sedimentary rocks, constructing stratigraphic logs, interpreting depositional environments, and integrating facies analysis, sequence stratigraphy, and basin context to inform decisions in groundwater management, geotechnical engineering, and resource exploration projects.

What will I learn?
This course offers a practical overview of sedimentary rocks, structures, and depositional systems, covering grain-scale properties to basin-scale context. Participants will learn to create stratigraphic logs, interpret facies from images, apply sequence stratigraphy basics, and assess uncertainties for use in research, mapping, subsurface, and environmental applications.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Facies interpretation: analyze tidal, fluvial, deltaic, and eolian systems.
- Stratigraphic logging: construct professional logs from outcrop images quickly.
- Sedimentary structures: interpret cross-beds, ripples, and bioturbation for flow conditions.
- Grain-scale analysis: evaluate texture, porosity, and provenance for basin understanding.
- Sequence stratigraphy: connect logs to sea-level changes, climate, and basin development.
