Course Description
EPSC 355 (Sedimentary Geology) provides students with a broad understanding in the origin, classification, diagenesis and economic importance of sedimentary rocks. The course includes discussion of the processes of weathering, erosion, and sedimentation, including the formation of bedforms and other sedimentary structures, as well as the physical, chemical, and biological alteration of siliciclastic and carbonate sediments after deposition. The course links stratigraphic principles with the study of modern depositional environments and sequence stratigraphy as a means of interpreting the stratigraphic record. It also provides a background in the origin of economic resources in sedimentary rocks, such as iron formation, phosphorite deposits, coal, and petroleum.
