Sedimentology Course
Gain essential sedimentology expertise for geology and geography applications: interpret rocks and depositional settings, construct stratigraphic logs, analyze sedimentary features, and connect facies, sequence stratigraphy, and basin dynamics to practical decisions 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 everything from grain properties to basin-scale analysis. You will learn to create stratigraphic logs, interpret facies from images, use sequence stratigraphy basics, and evaluate 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: produce professional logs quickly from field photos.
- Sedimentary features: analyze cross-bedding, ripples, and burrows to understand past flows.
- Grain analysis: evaluate texture, pore space, and sediment origins for basin history.
- Sequence stratigraphy: correlate local logs with sea-level changes, weather patterns, and basin development.
