GEOL 4515

(3 Credits) 3 Lecture hours An examination of the basin-scale controls on the distribution and architecture of depositional environments in space and time. Case studies investigate different types of basins, from tectonically active rifts, strike–slip basins, and forelands to quiescent intracratonic basins, and focus on the packaging of the sedimentary basin fill. Emphasis on sequence stratigraphy and basin-scale modeling of sedimentary systems.
