Compulsory

Credits

03

Prerequisite

GE611

Overview

Geomorphology of channels, slopes, and drainage systems. use of lateral and vertical changes in sedimentary facies to identify depositional processes and environments of deposition within the terrestrial, marginal marine, shelf, and deep sea clastic depositional systems. These systems will be examined in a sequence stratigraphic framework.

Intended learning outcomes

By passing this course, the student is supposed to be familiar with the following practical and professional skills:1. Use field skills to obtain the correct data.2. Using multi-hypothesis theory in field data analysis.3. Using laboratory methods in the study of sedimentary tissue.4. Using environment modeling skills to develop a three-dimensional model of the sedimentation environment and its evolution over time.
