GEOL 5350 - Diagen Sed Rock I

Institution:

University of Wyoming

Subject:

GEOL

Description:

The study of diagenesis of clastic sedimentary rocks utilizing all available observational, experimental and theoretical data. Particular attention will be given to the relationship between diagenesis and porosity (mass transfer). The objective of the course is to understand diagenetic processes and ultimately to make porosity predictions in a variety of geological terrains. Laboratories consist of examining suites of thin sections and rocks from a variety of classical techniques used in studying diagenetic problems. The first semester emphasizes the observation aspects of clastic diagenesis. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
