Stratigraphy Course
This course equips geologists and geography professionals with hands-on skills to master stratigraphy. Learn to interpret rock layers, fossils, and facies across fluvial to marine environments. Develop stronger abilities in correlation, field logging, and basin-scale interpretations for precise sedimentary analysis in professional settings.

What will I learn?
Gain practical expertise in interpreting sedimentary rock sequences confidently. Master reading sedimentary facies using grain size, structures, and fossils. Apply sequence stratigraphy and biostratigraphy principles to construct composite stratigraphic columns. Practice correlating sections, handling uncertainties with field and subsurface data, and planning effective field campaigns for accurate stratigraphic analysis.
