Sequence stratigraphy comprises the study of genetically related facies within a framework of chronostratigraphically significant surfaces. It emphasizes correlation discontinuity surfaces, sea level changes and hierarchy of stratal units. This discipline has valuable applications to the petroleum industry. Note: GEOL 846 and GEOL 448 possess similar content. Students will not receive credit for both courses.
