Sedimentary
rocks
and
fossils
comprise the archive out of which we can
read about the history of the Earth and its life. The course examines
aspects
such as sedimentary processes, facies analysis and the interpretation
of
depositional environments. In addition it includes basin analysis and
the
interpretation of biostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy, and short
history
of the Earth through geological time. The course includes the field
excursion
on Bornholm (1 week) and practical project based on studies by student
groups. Further information
