Sequence Stratigraphy ((4))

Catalog description

This course discusses stratigraphic processes through space and time. Lectures cover fundamental concepts of sequence stratigraphy. Labs introduce skills of analyzing sedimentary sequences, interpreting paleoenvironmental change and basin histories, as well as building a stratigraphic framework using well log correlation, and core, outcrop, and seismic data. These skills are widely applied in energy exploration, reservoir/aquifer characterization, and geologic engineering. A field trip may be required. 150 minutes of lecture and 150 minutes of laboratory per week. A course fee is required.
