SC-10: Introduction to Siliciclastic Depositional Environments in Outcrops, Cores, Seismic, and Well Logs

Sunday, 24 August, Monday, 25 August | Sunday, 24 August, 8:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m. and Monday, 25 August, 8:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m.

This is an introduction to the interpretation of siliciclastic depositional environments based on the new book by Feldman, The Handbook of Siliciclastic Facies from SEPM (included with the course). There is an emphasis 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 settings (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.
