Sedimentary Rock Formation Stages Course
Master sedimentary rock formation from source to basin. Construct stratigraphic logs, interpret fluvial-deltaic systems, predict properties of sandstone, shale, and limestone, and apply facies and diagenesis insights to real-world geology and geography projects. This course equips you with practical skills for interpreting sedimentary sequences, enhancing reports, and supporting confident subsurface and surface analyses in geological contexts.

What will I learn?
This course provides a clear, step-by-step guide to sedimentary rock formation, from source rock and weathering through transport, deposition, to lithification. You will learn to interpret grain-size trends, cements, porosity, and key sedimentary structures, while constructing realistic stratigraphic logs for river-to-coast successions. Develop practical abilities to analyse depositional environments, improve geological reporting, and make informed interpretations of both subsurface and surface features.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Build stratigraphic logs: draft 4–6 layer river-to-coast successions quickly.
- Interpret facies: link sedimentary structures to fluvial, deltaic, marine settings.
- Predict rock types: convert sediment descriptions into future sandstone, shale, limestone.
- Evaluate reservoir quality: relate porosity, permeability, and diagenesis to flow.
- Use authoritative data: select, cite, and summarise key geological reference sources.
