Principles of Sedimentology

Lecturers: Elda Miramontes García

Content:

Cycle of sedimentary rocks and processes of sediment formation basics: granulometry, porosity/permeability, processes of sediment transport, diagnostics of sediment structures Climate belts and sedimentation areas on earth. An overview characteristics of the most important sediment types: alluvial sediments and fluvial types, aeolian sediments, glacigenic sediments, carbonate and clastic coastal sediments, deep-marine sediments.

Competences:

Learning objectives
- To impart basic knowledge of sediment formation and sediment transport as well as the course of sedimentological processes in space and time.
- Acquisition of a basic understanding of the structure and interlocking of depositional areas and facies belts as well as their diagnostic sedimentological structural inventory and their control mechanisms in the various climate belts of the earth.

Competences
- Training of spatial and temporal imagination.
- Promotion of process-orientated thinking by applying basic physical, chemical and biological knowledge to the formation of sediments.
