What will I learn?
Gain practical expertise in interpreting sedimentary rock sequences confidently. Master reading sedimentary facies using grain size, structures, and fossils. Apply sequence stratigraphy and biostratigraphy principles to construct composite columns. Hone skills in correlating strata, handling uncertainties with field and subsurface data, and planning effective field campaigns for accurate stratigraphic analysis.
Elevify advantages
