SC-05 Introduction to Siliciclastic Depositional Environments in Outcrops, Cores, Seismic, and Well Logs

Presented By: (SEPM) Society for Sedimentary Geology

Sunday 27 August
8:30am–5:00pm
Monday 28 August
8:30am-4:00pm

George R. Brown Convention Center, Room 381 C

This course is an introduction to the interpretation of siliciclastic depositional environments with a focus on subsurface data sets, and how to use that information to make predictions. Settings that will be covered include alluvial (meandering rivers, etc. and paleosols), coastal (wave-, fluvial-, and tide-dominated), estuarine incised valley fills, deepwater fans (channel fills, levees, lobes), and contourites. Data sets will include outcrop photo pans, well logs, and high-resolution, large format core photos. This course is intended to provide a basic introduction to these settings over the course of two days.
