| 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. |
