What will I learn?
Gain hands-on skills to confidently interpret sedimentary layers. Master reading facies from grain size, structures, and fossils. Apply sequence and biostratigraphy principles to build accurate composite columns. Practice correlation techniques, handle uncertainty with field and subsurface data, and plan effective field campaigns for reliable stratigraphic analysis.
