What will I learn?
Gain hands-on skills to confidently interpret sedimentary rock layers. Master reading facies using grain size, structures, and fossils. Apply sequence and biostratigraphy to correlate sections. Build detailed composite columns and handle uncertainty with field and subsurface data. Plan effective field campaigns for accurate stratigraphic analysis.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Interpret sedimentary facies by analysing grain size, structures, and flow indicators.
- Employ fossils to determine paleoenvironments like depth, salinity, and energy levels.
- Utilise sequence and biostratigraphy for swift correlation of regional stratigraphy.
- Construct composite stratigraphic columns integrating outcrops, facies, and sea-level changes.
- Design efficient field campaigns to log sections, collect samples wisely, and quantify uncertainty.
