EAPS 38 Sedimentary Geology
This course considers the evidence, preservation, and temporal record of environmental change preserved in sedimentary rocks. The aim is to learn how to interpret the sedimentary record through an emphasis on depositional models, both modern and ancient – these will be examined in detail with an eye toward interpretation of depositional processes and paleoenvironmental analysis. Short field exercises and group projects are a significant part of this course and are designed to improve one’s ability to make observations and cogently describe sedimentary rocks in the field.
