Sedimentary Rock Formation Stages Course
Master the stages of sedimentary rock formation from source materials to basin deposition. Learners will construct stratigraphic logs, interpret fluvial-deltaic systems, forecast properties of sandstone, shale, and limestone, and apply knowledge of facies and diagenesis to practical geology and geography projects in real-world scenarios.

What will I learn?
This course provides a clear step-by-step guide to sedimentary rock formation, covering weathering of source rocks, transport, deposition, and lithification processes. Participants will learn to analyse grain-size patterns, cements, porosity, and sedimentary structures, while creating realistic stratigraphic logs for river-to-coast sequences to enhance reporting and interpretations for subsurface and surface geology.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Build stratigraphic logs for 4-6 layer river-to-coast successions quickly.
- Interpret facies by linking sedimentary structures to fluvial, deltaic, and marine environments.
- Predict rock types by converting sediment descriptions into sandstone, shale, or limestone.
- Evaluate reservoir quality relating porosity, permeability, and diagenesis to fluid flow.
- Select, cite, and summarise key geological reference sources effectively.
