About the course

The processes of erosion, transport and deposition of clastic, biogenic and chemical sediments in continental, coastal and open marine environments. The formation of sedimentary features (e.g. structures, textures, mineralogical compositions) that can be used to interpret the depositional environment and facies for litho-, bio-, seismic- and sequence stratigraphy subdivisions and in correlation. The evolution of Earth and the biosphere.

The field excursion normally takes place in Bornholm, Denmark, during a week in the latter half of September with an associated cost of 550 SEK for the student. Training in communication is an integrated part of the course.
