Sedimentary basins hold the bulk of Earth’s rock record and are fundamental in the study of past environments, tectonic evolution, climates, and biosphere. This course will explore different basin types and the nature of their infills. The course will also emphasize the economic resources within sedimentary basins and paleoenvironmental significance.
Priority will be given to students enrolled in the Specialist Program in Environmental Geoscience (Co-op and non-Co-op). Additional students will be admitted as space permits.
