Course Goal / Objective
To teach the principal properties of the widespread outcrops of stratified sedimentary rocks of the earth; to make determination of the geological depositional model by having the stratigraphic records from the field; to make environmental interpretation and to explain the geological history by using the data from stratified rocks.
Course Content
Basic principles of stratigraphy, Concept of Geological time, Basic principles of lithostratigraphy and biostratigraphy, Evaluation of relative time scale, Stratigraphic records in sedimentary systems, Depositional Syestems: I) Non marine environments, II) Coastal Environments, III) detritic marine and pelagic environments, IV) Carbonate environments, lithostratigraphy (facies, geological studies related with deposition, gaps between stratigraphic records), Unconformity and thier types, Lithological correlation and stratigraphic methods, Measurement of stratigraphic sections and definitons, Stratigraphical cross sections and panel diagrams.
