ONLINE: Integrated Stratigraphic Methods (GEO957)
8-10 May 2023 3 days Virtual instructor-led course, OnlineCourse Fee: 1650 EUR + VAT
Description
The course will cover the major aspects and essential elements underpinning the modern applications and perspectives of stratigraphy. It focuses on multidisciplinary approaches and how these can be utilized in the reconstruction of the geological history of sedimentary basins and in the hydrocarbon exploration.
Course Structure: 3 modules of max. 4 hours each, delivered over 3 days
Each day will consist of 1 module which will be no more than 4 hours in length with ample time for delegates to break for refreshments.
Course Level: Skill
