SOLD OUT CSPG05SC Facies and Depositional Environments in Core
Hands-on core workshop that emphasizes the understanding of physical and biogenic structures in the interpretation of sedimentary depositional environments. Environments are then related in both time and space using sequence stratigraphic principles. Course time is split approximately 70:30 between core observation and lecture presentations. Practical exercises include core observation and interpretation, which then are used to correlate well-log cross-sections from subsurface examples in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. Course is especially useful for entry-level geologists and those looking for a refresher course in siliciclastic sedimentology and stratigraphy.
