CourseDetails
โข Principles of Stratigraphy: This unit will cover the fundamental concepts and principles of stratigraphy, including the laws of superposition, original horizontality, and lateral continuity.
โข Depositional Environments: This unit will focus on the different depositional environments, such as alluvial plains, deltas, and reefs, and how they affect the formation of sedimentary rocks and fossils.
โข Fossils and Biostratigraphy: This unit will cover the use of fossils in stratigraphy, including the concepts of index fossils and biostratigraphic zones.
โข Sequence Stratigraphy: This unit will explore the concepts and techniques used in sequence stratigraphy, including the identification of sequence boundaries, maximum flooding surfaces, and systems tracts.
โข Sedimentology and Petrology: This unit will cover the study of sedimentary rocks and their composition, texture, and structure, including the processes of sediment transport and deposition.
โข Geochronology and Age Dating: This unit will focus on the methods and techniques used to determine the age of rocks and fossils, including radiometric dating and isotopic analysis.
โข Structural Stratigraphy: This unit will explore the relationship between stratigraphy and structural geology, including the effects of tectonic forces on the arrangement and orientation of sedimentary rocks.
โข Stratigraphic Correlation: This unit will cover the techniques and methods used to correlate rocks and stratigraphic sequences across different regions and basins, including the use of biostratigraphic and lithostratigraphic markers.
