TRAINING IN MARINE SEDIMENTOLOGY APPLIED TO THE INDUSTRY
Two options: in-house or remote online courses
1 - In-house training for your personnel
Your personnel and your company will benefit from learning up-to-date knowledge on shallow to deepwater sedimentology. We transfer knowledge from the best and most recent studies in modern marine enviroments, subsurface plays and our proprietary set of ancient outcrop studies from the best exposed areas in the world. We will also provide practical tools to analyze and interpret seismic and well data based on real-world data.

2 - Remote, online training
Sedimentary architecture of rocks deposited in marine environments: dune and sandbar sequences, submarine channel-fills, MTDs and lobes in both contractional and salt tectonic settings
— a virtual outcrop experience
This course includes virtual outcrop visits from spectacular footage of excellent outcrops around the globe
The instructor will use data sets of shallow and deep-water sedimentary systems from world-famous outcrops such as the Maras Basin (Turkey), San Fernando Canyon (Baja California), La Popa Basin (Mexico), Magallanes Basin (Chile), Sorbas Basin (Spain). The course is strongly supported by unpublished video and photographic content from exceptional ancient outcrops of sand dunes and ridges, channel-fills, internal and external levees, other overbank deposit types, a wide range of mass transport deposit types, lobes, halokinetic units, ponded sandstones in mini basins, among others. We will show these deposits in basins that were controlled by submarine fold-and-thrust propagation thrusts and salt tectonics. We combine this exceptional outcrop material with a selection of of seismic, well-log, and core data sets from basins across the globe.
Course highlights
Duration: 4 weeks (starting at anytime of the year)
Guidebook for each trainee: this contains the state-of-the art in marine sedimentology with more than 200 pages of exceptional data sets compared to current models of sediment transport processes and architectural models proposed by the most relevant research teams worldwide. We include a series of workflows for interpreting seismic and well data derived from our outcrop data sets and collaborations with other colleagues (e.g., the Turbidites Research Group; https://www.abdn.ac.uk/turbidites/).
Exercises: quizzes, tests, outcrop interpretation and 'games' to internalize your interpretation skills from seismic and well data.
Enjoy 3 hours of personalized live classes — individual or group — , during which you will 'visit' first-class outcrops around the globe.
Get access for free to a selection of the most relevant literature on marine sedimentology (i.e., tens of scientific papers and books).
Fees:
Standard: 290 EUR*
Students: 200 EUR
