GEOL 322 - Sedimentology and Stratigraphy

Credit Hours: 3

Studies the principles that govern the distribution and variability of sediments and sedimentary rocks. Emphasis is upon interpretation of source, mode of transport, and environment of deposition of sedimentary sequences by analysis of vertical and lateral variations in texture, composition, sedimentary structures, and geometry of sedimentary rock bodies.

Prerequisite: GEOL 101 or GEOL 110, GEOL 104
