PROFESSOR DOCTOR BILAL SARI

Offered to

Geological Engineering

Course Objective

This course aims to teach sedimentation, description and identification of textural maturity of sedimentary rocks, sedimentary sequences and environments, models of sedimentary infill, facies and facies contacts, unconformities, rock units, time-rock units, time units, biostratigraphic units, correlation methods of stratigraphic units, construct stratigraphic colunmnar section and methods of measuring stratigraphic sections.

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

Basic knowledge and main principles of stratigraphy will be given in face to face learning. These principles will be applied in each application. In order to establish stratigraphic sequence of a given area, a field work will be done.

Assessment Criteria

Lithological and depositional textural features of sedimentary rocks wil be avaluated in course and application exams (LOs 1-2). The determine the relationships between rock units and estalish the lithostratigrphic columnar section of an area will be tested in the laboratuary and field studies (LOs 3-5).
