| Summary |
|---|
| The course is devoted to the basics of environmental sedimentology. Students will learn the basic principles of classification of sediments. A substantial part is devoted to an overview of individual sedimentation environments and genetic types of sediments. It includes the stratigraphic significance of sediments. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| Knowledge and explanation how to recognise the common lithologies, textures and sedimentary structures, and how to record and measure these features. |
| Course Contents |
|---|
1. Sedimentary textures – grain size (classification)
2. Sedimentary structures – stratification and bedforms (bedding, bedforms, cross-lamination, irregularstratification), bedding-plane markings
3. Continental environments: characteristic and type of sediments of aeolian deposits, alluvial fans, fluvial and floodplains, lakes, glacial
4. Marginal marine environments: beach, barrie risland, estuaria, lagoons, tidalflats
5. Marine environments: siliciclastic shelf, deep-water, carbonate and environments.
(in all environments characteristic of sedimentation, place of origin, nature of the sedimentary bodies)
