Course Objectives
1) Understand how sediment is routed through clastic depositional systems from source to sink
2) Learn to identify clastic depositional environments using core, log and seismic data
3) Understand how the spatial organization of facies in each environment of deposition affects the subsurface flow of fluids.
Course Outline

Eolian Depositional Environments
Fluvial Depositional Environments
Shoreface Depositional Environments

About the instructor: Dr.Mike Sweet
Mike Sweet is co-director of the Gulf Basin Depositional Synthesis Project (GBDS), an industry-supported research project that assembles and synthesizes well, seismic, and other data to establish a basin-scale depositional history of the Gulf of Mexico. His work focuses on the Cenozoic depositional system. He is interested in quantifying how sediment moves between depositional environments, particularly between shallow marine and deep-water environments. He is interested in how fluids move in the subsurface and on stratigraphic barriers and baffles to flow.
