The aim of the course:
The cource intends to teach the graduate students the facies analysis of sedimentary basin and interpretation of ancient depositional enviroments.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : describe and explain the sedimentary rocks2,3,8,13
PO - 2 : describe and explain the stratigraphic correlation and facies analysis
PO - 3 : describe and interpretation the ancient sedimentary environments
PO - 4 : describe and explain the sedimentary structures
PO - 5 : describe and explain the basin mapping
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), PO : Learning Outcome
