Courses
Graduate and Undergraduate Courses
*Stratodynamics & Quantitative Stratigraphy
Sediment transport & Morphodynamics
Modeling of Depositional Mechanic
Geomorphology seminar
*Courses are listed from foundational graduate-level introductions, progressing toward more specialized, in-depth topics above.
Computational Model &
Hands-on Experiments
The goal of these courses is for students to develop their own numerical tools to quantitatively understand sediment transport and stratigraphic development in sedimentary basins. The courses focus on applying principles from fluid mechanics, sediment transport, and depositional mechanics, progressing to one-dimensional and quasi-two-dimensional numerical modeling of sediment morphodynamics in various depositional settings, including: a) river deltas, b) carbonate platforms, and c) submarine fans. Through these courses, students will create their own geometrical and morphodynamic models as research tools to analyze data from their fieldwork and/or laboratory experiments.

Siliciclastic and Carbonate
Sedimentology and Stratigraphy
These are undergraduate courses that focus on the description and interpretation of the characteristics of sedimentary rocks deposited in various environments. Students learn about grain parameters, sediment transport, bedforms, rivers and deltas, carbonate factories, mud and porosity, rock classification and facies, mineralogy, geochemistry, facies models, and basic stratigraphic concepts. These courses consist of lectures and labs in small groups, as well as presentations and group discussion sessions.
