Sedimentary architecture of rocks deposited in marine environments: dunes and sequences, channel fills, MTDs and lobes in contexts of compressive tectonics and salt-related allochthonous units
— a virtual experience
This course includes virtual visits through video material of excellent outcrops.
The instructor will use an extensive compilation of data from deep and shallow water sedimentary systems of the most famous outcrops on the planet, for example: the Maras and Adana Basins (Turkey), San Fernando Canyon (Baja California, México), La Popa Basin (Nuevo León, México), Magallanes Basin (Chile), and Sorbas Basin (Spain). The course essentially relies on unpublished material produced by Channelsgeo, including marine dunes and bars, channel fills, internal and external levees, other overbank deposits, a wide range of mass transport deposits, lobes, mini-basin sequences, and more.We will show these deposits in sequences that were deformed by fold belts and submarine thrusts as well as salt tectonics. We combine this exceptional material with a selection of seismic, well log and drill rock sample data from several marine basins around the world.
The essentials of the course
- Duration: 4 weeks (starting at any time of the year)
- Syllabus for each student: contains several modules with the most advanced to date in marine sedimentology in more than 200 pages with exceptional exclusive material from ancient outcrops compared to current models of transport processes and sedimentary architecture applied to reservoir modeling. Novel workflows are included for interpreting seismic and well data from our own work as well as collaboration with colleagues (e.g., the Turbidites Research Group.
- Exercises: assimilate the most complex concepts through quizzes, tests, data interpretations and other games.
- Enjoy 3 hours of personalized classes that can be either individual or in groups during which we will give you access to 'visits' to the most spectacular ancient outcrops in the world for reservoir modeling.
- We will provide you with a selection of the most relevant published works in marine sedimentology.
Rates
- Standard: 290 EUR*
- Students: 200 EUR
