What will I learn?
This course equips you with practical skills to interpret rock sequences, apply relative dating principles, and construct precise chronological records from field observations. You will learn to identify intrusions, unconformities, terraces, and essential sedimentary features, then combine fossils, radiometric dating, and regional correlations to produce authoritative stratigraphic reports.
