Stratigraphy Course
This course equips geology professionals with essential hands-on skills to master stratigraphy. Participants learn to interpret sedimentary successions, read rock facies, use fossils for paleoenvironment reconstruction, apply sequence and biostratigraphy for correlation, build composite columns, and design efficient field programs. Perfect for enhancing field logging, uncertainty management, and basin-scale analysis in diverse settings from fluvial to marine environments.
