EAS 336 - Sedimentary Systems

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-3)

Petrography, petrology, and petrogenesis of clastic, biochemical, and chemical sedimentary rocks. Diagenesis of sediments and sedimentary rocks, selected sedimentary depositional environments, and facies analysis, as tools for the interpretation of the sedimentary rock record. Fundamentals, terminology, and conceptual frameworks of sequence stratigraphy. Laboratory exercises based on the analysis of hand samples, thin sections, and core. Prerequisite: EAS 222 and EAS 232. Not available to students with credit in EAS 235 or 236. [Faculty of Science]

EAS 462 - Stratigraphy and Sedimentary Basins

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-3)

The science of rock strata in a sequence stratigraphic framework; sequence stratigraphic models; classification and evolution of sedimentary basins; applications of sequence stratigraphy to depositional systems and tectonic settings. Prerequisite EAS 336. Not available to students with credit in EAS 330. [Faculty of Science]
