Sedimentary Rock Formation Stages Course
Master the stages of sedimentary rock formation from source materials to basin deposition. Develop skills in constructing 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. This course equips learners with tools for accurate subsurface and surface interpretations in real-world scenarios.

What Will I Learn?
Explore the step-by-step process of sedimentary rock formation, from weathering of source rocks through transport, deposition, and lithification. Master interpreting grain size variations, cements, porosity, and sedimentary structures to create realistic stratigraphic logs for river-to-coast sequences. Acquire hands-on abilities to analyse successions, enhance geological reporting, and make reliable interpretations for both surface and subsurface environments.
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 environments.
- 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.
