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 settings, and connecting facies, sequence stratigraphy, and basin dynamics to practical decisions in groundwater management, geotechnical engineering, and resource exploration projects.

What will I learn?
This course offers a practical guide to sedimentary rocks, structures, and depositional environments, covering grain properties to basin-scale analysis. Participants will learn to create stratigraphic logs, interpret facies from images, use sequence stratigraphy basics, and evaluate uncertainties for applications in research, mapping, subsurface, and environmental studies.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Facies interpretation: analyse 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: correlate logs with sea-level changes, climate, and basin development.
