Course Objective

In this context, sedimentation, description and identification of textural maturity of
sedimentary rocks, sedimentary sequences and environments, models of sedimentary
infill, facies and facies contacts, unconformities, rock units, time-rock units, time
units, biostratigraphic units, correlation methods of stratigraphic units, sequence
stratigraphy and methods of applied stratigraphy have been investigated.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   to be able to define lithologic features of rock units
2   to be able to establish the relationship between feeding and depositional areas
3   to be able to determine stratigraphic relationship between rock units
4   to be able to apply the rule of naming of rock units
5   to be able to design the lithostragraphic sequence of a given area

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

basic knowledge and main principles of stratigraphy will be given in face to face
learning. These principles will be applied in each application. ın order to establish
stratigraphic sequence of a given area, a field work will be done.
