GEOL 4515 - Sedimentary Basin Analysis


Credit(s): 3
Lecture Hour(s): 3
Lecture Hours Schedule Type: Blended, Lecture, Online
An examination of the basin-scale controls on the distribution and architecture of depositional environments in space and time. Case studies investigate different types of basins, from tectonically active rifts, strike-slip basins, and forelands to quiescent intracratonic basins, and focus on the packaging of the sedimentary basin fill. Emphasis on sequence stratigraphy and basin-scale modelling of sedimentary systems.
