Sequence Stratigraphy

This course provides knowledge in sequence stratigraphy. Furthermore, causes, processes and mechanisms leading to the formation and filling of sedimentary basins are discussed. Sequence stratigraphy describes the spatio-temporal distribution of facies in a basin as a response of the sedimentary system to changes in sea level, available depositional space, and the amount of sediment supplied.

Exercises will include facies and sequence interpretations using outcrop and borehole data. This semester's course is planned to be taught in presence. In case of changed teaching rules as a result of increased numbers of infections we will sift to a digital from via video transmission. In this case, exercises will be worked on as homework.

The course will be taught in German or English.
