Identify, describe, and interpret different types of sediments, sedimentary rocks, sedimentary structures, trace fossils, sediment bedforms, and sedimentary facies.

Construct the geologic history of a region and its original depositional environment based on the interpretation of sedimentary/stratigraphic features.

Apply sedimentary laboratory and field-based analyses, such as grain size distribution curves, measuring a stratigraphic secion, or basin analysis.

Explain and apply the principles of seismic stratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy, biostratigraphy, and chronostratigraphy.
