What will I learn?
This Stratigraphy Fundamentals Course equips participants with essential skills to confidently interpret sedimentary rock sequences. Trainees learn to identify facies from grain size, sedimentary structures, and fossils, apply sequence stratigraphy and biostratigraphic methods, and construct detailed composite columns. Practical training covers correlation techniques, handling uncertainties with field and subsurface data, and planning cost-effective field campaigns for accurate, well-documented stratigraphic analysis suitable for Uganda's geological contexts.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Identify sedimentary facies using grain size, structures, and flow indicators.
