Stratigraphy Course
This course equips geology professionals with hands-on expertise in stratigraphy. Learn to analyse sedimentary successions from fluvial to marine environments, interpret facies and fossils, correlate regional layers using sequence and biostratigraphy, construct composite columns, and conduct efficient field work with proper uncertainty reporting. Perfect for enhancing basin-scale interpretation and logging skills.
