Sedimentary Rock Formation Stages Course
This course teaches sedimentary rock formation from weathering and transport to deposition and lithification. Learners build stratigraphic logs, interpret fluvial-deltaic systems, predict properties of sandstone, shale, and limestone, and apply facies analysis and diagenesis to geology projects in real-world settings.
