GEOL 135 - SedimentationSemester Hours: 3
Every Other Year
Principles related to the weathering, erosion, transport, deposition, and lithification of sediments. Extrapolation of small-scale processes from the laboratory to the environments in which sedimentary rocks are formed. Investigations will culminate in several written laboratory reports, including: identification of sediment types, transport processes and depositional environments; identification and comparison of various types of sedimentary rocks; creation of graphic logs and interpretation of stratigraphic sections; and integration of all sections into interpretation of sequence stratigraphy. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory.)
