Sedimentology is an interdisciplinary subject, involving
many aspects of geology as well as chemistry, physics and
mathematics. This course will cover the basic tools of
sedimentologic interpretation; the origin and types of
sedimentary grains, their transport mechanisms and the
formation of sedimentary structures. With this knowledge,
we will use these interpretive tools to determine the
processes that occur in different depositional environments
and to see how the resultant sedimentary deposits record
changes in the Earth's history.
