Sedimentology Course
Acquire essential sedimentology skills for geology and geography professionals: interpret rocks, construct stratigraphic logs, analyse depositional settings, and connect facies, sequence stratigraphy, and basin dynamics to practical decisions in groundwater, geotechnical, and resource management projects.

What will I learn?
This course offers a practical guide to sedimentary rocks, structures, and depositional environments, covering grain properties to basin-scale analysis. Participants will learn to create stratigraphic logs, analyse facies from images, use sequence stratigraphy basics, and assess uncertainties for applications in research, mapping, subsurface, and environmental studies.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Facies analysis: interpret tidal, river, delta, and desert depositional systems.
- Stratigraphic logging: create professional logs quickly from field photos.
- Sedimentary features: analyse cross-bedding, ripples, and burrows to deduce flow conditions.
- Grain analysis: evaluate texture, porosity, and source rocks for basin understanding.
- Sequence stratigraphy: correlate local logs with sea-level changes, climate, and basin history.
