Sedimentology Course
Gain essential sedimentology expertise for geography and geology tasks: interpret rocks, produce stratigraphic logs, analyse depositional settings, and connect facies, sequence stratigraphy, and basin dynamics to practical applications in groundwater, geotechnical, and resource management projects across diverse terrains.

What will I learn?
This course offers a practical guide to sedimentary rocks, structures, and depositional environments, covering grain properties to basin-scale analysis. Learners will create stratigraphic logs, analyse facies from images, use sequence stratigraphy basics, and assess uncertainties for use in research, mapping, subsurface, and environmental work.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Facies analysis: interpret tidal, river, delta, and wind-blown deposits.
- Stratigraphic logging: construct professional logs quickly from field photos.
- Sedimentary features: examine cross-bedding, ripples, and burrows to deduce water flow.
- Grain analysis: evaluate texture, pore space, and sediment origins for basin understanding.
- Sequence stratigraphy: relate logs to sea-level changes, weather patterns, and basin development.
