Sedimentary Rock Formation Stages Course
Master the stages of sedimentary rock formation from source materials to basin deposition. Develop skills in creating stratigraphic logs, interpreting fluvial-deltaic systems, predicting properties of sandstone, shale, and limestone, and applying facies analysis and diagenesis knowledge to practical geology and geography projects in real-world scenarios.

What will I learn?
This course provides a clear step-by-step guide to sedimentary rock formation, covering weathering of source rocks, transportation, deposition, and lithification processes. Participants will learn to analyse grain size variations, cements, porosity, and essential sedimentary structures, while constructing accurate stratigraphic logs for river-to-coast sequences. Acquire hands-on abilities to interpret successions, enhance geological reports, and make reliable subsurface and surface evaluations.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Build stratigraphic logs for 4-6 layer river-to-coast successions quickly.
- Interpret facies by linking sedimentary structures to fluvial, deltaic, and marine settings.
- Predict rock types by converting sediment descriptions into sandstone, shale, or limestone.
- Evaluate reservoir quality relating porosity, permeability, and diagenesis to fluid flow.
- Select, cite, and summarise key geological reference sources effectively.
