What will I learn?
The Principles of Stratigraphy Course equips you with practical skills to interpret rock sequences, apply relative dating laws, and reconstruct chronological histories from field data. You will learn to identify intrusions, unconformities, terraces, and sedimentary structures, then integrate fossils, radiometric ages, and regional correlations to produce well-supported stratigraphic reports suitable for professional use.
