GEO-2005: Sedimentology Work Load
10 credits (ECTS) | Contents
The course provides an overview of the study of sedimentary rocks and their formation. The subject covers processes which produce sediments, such as weathering and erosion, transport and deposition by water or air, and the changes which take place in sediments after their final deposition (diagenesis). During the field excursion emphasis will be given to interpretation of sedimentary facies/depositional environments, how field logs are constructed and interpreted, and the creation of architectural panels across parts of the Oslo Region.
