SCPRE21

Clastic Facies and Depositional Environments

Instructors: Bill Arnott
Date: May 5 - 7, 2008
Max. Attendance: 20 Participants
Course Fee: $1100

Venue: ERCB Core Research Centre – Room 200 Section 41/48, #3545 Research Way NW Calgary, T2L 1Y7

This 3-day Core Workshop discusses the most important variables that control the make-up of the sedimentary record – the primary depositional mechanisms that deposit sediment, the sedimentary structures formed by those mechanisms (and the ability to recognize and interpret them in core), and then integrate all those observations and interpretations into meaningful stratigraphic models.

Emphasis is on the understanding of physical and biogenic structures in the interpretation of sedimentary depositional environments.  Environments are then related in both time and space using sequence stratigraphic principles.  Specific environments to be discussed include fluvial, shallow- and marginal-marine.
