Sedimentary Rock Formation Stages Course
This course teaches sedimentary rock formation from source materials to basin deposition. Learners build stratigraphic logs, interpret fluvial-deltaic systems, predict properties of sandstone, shale, and limestone, and apply facies analysis and diagenesis knowledge to geology and geography projects. It equips students with practical skills for interpreting sedimentary sequences and evaluating rock quality in real-world scenarios.

What will I learn?
Explore sedimentary rock formation stages from weathering of source rocks through transport, deposition, and lithification. Master interpreting grain size, cements, porosity, sedimentary structures, and create stratigraphic logs for river-to-coast sequences to enhance subsurface interpretations and reporting skills.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Build stratigraphic logs for 4-6 layer river-to-coast successions quickly.
- Interpret sedimentary facies linking structures to fluvial, deltaic, and marine environments.
- Predict rock types like sandstone, shale, and limestone from sediment descriptions.
- Evaluate reservoir quality using porosity, permeability, and diagenesis for flow prediction.
- Select, cite, and summarise key geological reference sources effectively.
