Course Content (Syllabus)
Sea-level change – subsidence and accommodation space for sediment deposition. Mechanisms of sedimentary basin formation and their impact on basin morphology (basins due to lithosphere stretching, basins due to flexure, effects of mantle dynamics, basins associated with strike-slip deformation). Transportation and deposition of clastic sediments (processes on the continental environments, processes in lake and marine environments). Clastic sediments (conglomerates, sandstones, schists).
