This course examines modern sedimentary processes and environments, and compares them to their ancient counterparts – at scales of grains to basins. We also consider what the stratigraphic record tells us about the patterns of environmental change, the rise and fall of sea level and other factors that have shaped Earth’s depositional history. Strong emphasis is placed on practical, hands-on approaches that integrate lessons from other courses in both lab and the field
