Sedimentology and Sequence Stratigraphy

This course explores sediment deposition processes, sequence stratigraphy, and stratigraphic framework to analyze past depositional environments and the geological evolution of sedimentary basins.

Running

Quaternary Geology

Quaternary geology studies Earth's recent history, focusing on climate changes and landscape evolution. It helps understand past environmental conditions and their impact on ecosystems.

Running

Environmental Geology

Studying lightning and thunderstorms aims to understand their formation, behaviour, and impact on weather patterns. This knowledge aids in predicting severe weather events and mitigating associated risks, such as damage and safety hazards.

Running

Principles of Stratigraphy

The principles of stratigraphy aim to analyze rock layer sequences to reconstruct Earth's history and interpret past environments. It also helps in dating geological events and correlating rock units.

Running

Structural Geology

This course focuses on understanding the deformation of Earth's crust and analyzing geological structures. It helps in interpreting tectonic processes, predicting resource distribution, and assessing subsurface material behavior.
