An advanced sedimentology course discussing depositional processes, facies models, and sequence stratigraphy of fluvial, coastal, shelf, and deep-marine environments. A strong focus on the clastic depositional environments and translation of these environments and processes into the geological record. Topics addressed include, generation and transport of clastic sediment, identification of depositional environments from the sedimentary record, and field and analytical methods used within sedimentology research.
