GEOS 6560 - Clastic Depositional Systems

Analysis of terrigenous clastics-dominated, sedimentary basin fill. Controls on sedimentary basin fill and sequence stratigraphy; high resolution sequence stratigraphy at outcrop, core, and well log scale. Clastic depositional systems analysis and sedimentary facies models. Sedimentary facies analysis, especially for geological reservoirs, and process oriented sedimentology. Periodic field trips and/or visits to the Michigan Geological Repository for Research and Education (MGRRE) facility for access to analytical instruments and sample material.
