STRATIGRAPHIC GEOLOGY WITH LABORATORY 2

Stratigraphic Geology, Laboratory

Realization of stratigraphic logs at different scales. Symbols of the main lithologies. Calculation of

thickness and orientation of the strata. Stratigraphic correlations. Curve of relative sea level variation.

Calculation of sedimentation rates. Identification of stratigraphic gaps. Construction of "age-depth"

diagrams. Reconstruction of the geological history of an area and relative chronology of geological

events.

 

lessons are held exclusively in presence

• Acquired the concepts of the Course of “Physical Geology” (Geologia Fisica) (first semester, first year of

L-34 degree in Geological Sciences);

• Being familiar with the reading of topographic maps and knowing how to perfectly perform a

topographical profile.

In accordance with the degree programme's didactic regulations, attendance of classes is compulsory and is deemed to have been acquired if 70% of the attendance is obtained in each of the types of credits awarded

Practical applications of lecture concepts

notes and handouts provided by the lecturer

The student must demonstrate the ability to perform a stratigraphic log, litho- and/or bio- and/or chrono-stratigraphic correlation; an age-model diagram; a schematic reconstruction of the stratigraphic evolution of an area
