Field course sequence stratigraphy

Head: Prof. Dr. Matthias Hinderer, Dr. Jens Hornung

Time and location: The event takes place annually.

Application: Entry in the list on the notice board on the ground floor and registration via the TUCaN portal.

Summary:

Within a three days field course the students get trained in sediment analysis and the application of sequence stratigraphic concepts. In selected outcrops the students apply sediment facies analysis, sketch outcrop walls, and measure spectral gamma ray and magnetic susceptibility. The data will be integrated, graphically presented and interpreted regarding reservoir quality. The case studies are from the epicontinental Triassic and Jurassic sediments of the Germanic Basin and the marginal North Alpine Foreland Basin.

Food and Beverage: Various overnight stay, half board

Number of participants: Variable

Proof of achievement: Report/exam
