Earth - Sedimentology-Stratigraphy
Offered By: Matthew E. Clapham via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a comprehensive video series on sedimentology and stratigraphy, covering topics from fluvial systems to carbonate environments. Delve into sediment transport, bedforms, facies models, sequence stratigraphy, and basin analysis. Examine various depositional environments including alluvial fans, aeolian systems, submarine fans, deep-sea sediments, coastal systems, deltas, and estuaries. Learn about ichnofacies, carbonate processes, ramps, platforms, reefs, and microbial sediments. Gain insights into parasequences, sequence boundaries, and the intricacies of Earth's sedimentary systems through this extensive 5-hour lecture series from the University of California, Santa Cruz.
