GEOL 364. Stratigraphy

4.00
Lecture emphasizes application of sedimentologic and stratigraphic principles to identifying and interpreting depositional systems, and examines how eustasy (sequence theory) and local tectonics influence the distribution of depositional systems under different plate tectonic regimes. Lab emphasizes critical field observation, application of theory to stratigraphic analysis and writing scientific papers. GEOL 230 is the prerequisite.
