本課程涉及到岩石循環中的沉積物、在地球表面沉積物的產生、沉積物的物理和化學性質，和近地表沉積體的規模和形狀，包括含水層。我們也將會探討以下題目，例如沉積物搬運和現代沉積環境中的沉積作用、埋藏和石化作用、觀測主要的沉積岩類型、沉積盆地中地層的關係。 ，和地質時期沉積過程的演變。
This course covers sediments in the rock cycle, production of sediments at the Earth's surface, physics and chemistry of sedimentary materials, and scale and geometry of near-surface sedimentary bodies, including aquifers. We will also explore topics like sediment transport and deposition in modern sedimentary environments, burial and lithification, survey of major sedimentary rock types, stratigraphic relationships of sedimentary basins, and evolution of sedimentary processes through geologic time.
