EENG 420 Sedimentology and Stratigraphy

The course covers the sedimentological and stratigraphic methods used to analyze and interpret sedimentary sequences. Students learn to interpret physical processes and depositional environments from sedimentary structures and textures, and to apply sequence stratigraphic methods to interpret and model facies and sedimentary basin evolution. Modern and ancient examples from the Middle East, particularly from the UAE, are included. The course includes three days of fieldwork.
