    Sequence stratigraphy concepts are responsible of an important change in the way of analyzing and interpreting facies and stratigraphy.

    The course will start with an introduction to present an overview and let people know about the historical development of this concept, before giving a general approach and a methodology to follow. This later will be essentially based on the tools to be used for facies analysis, such as outcrops and cores (ideally), well logs and seismic sections, prior to define any workflow.

    The following step will be to understand the interaction of the different engines that control the sediment supply and the basin accommodation to be able to identify the main stratigraphic surfaces in order to define the sequences and their time attributes. The main goal will be to characterize the systems tracts and the sequences hierarchy.

    Once the stratigraphic sequences are defined, we’ll be able to better understand the evolution from one depositional environment to another and the transition chronology.

    All geoscientists having at least a basic level in clastic sediments sedimentology.
