Course Introduction

• The 5 days sedimentary environments course  will covers sedimentary basins, depositional environments(fluvial, deltaic, marine lacustrine, glacial and volcanic sediments) And  an introduction to the processes and products of sedimentation in natural environments, and their preservation in sedimentary rock sequences.

Course Objectives

At the end of the course the trainees will be able to Understanding

• Plate tectonic
