Sedimentology explores the origin, transport, deposition and diagenetic alterations of the materials that compose sediments and sedimentary rocks. Stratigraphy investigates how those types of rocks ...

Rapid advances in the new and developing field of restoration sedimentology will be needed to protect the world's river deltas from an array of threats, geologists say. Rapid advances in the new and ...

Fluvial sedimentology and palaeoenvironments represent a dynamic field that seeks to elucidate the processes governing river systems and their associated sedimentary records across geological time.

Our two labs help process and analyze sediment samples and sediment cores collected from terrestrial, lake, and marine environments. We perform chemical and physical analyses on sediments and other ...

My research focuses on the sedimentology of shallow-marine depositional systems and deposits. Within this overarching theme, I am currently overseeing research programs in three areas, with much of my ...

In addition to a wide range of undergraduate courses taught by ARISE members at SFU, we regularly offer 4 graduate courses ranging from Ichnology to Petroleum Geology. Below are descriptions of these ...

Aeolian sedimentology and stratigraphy encompass the study of sediment transport, deposition and preservation by wind-driven processes, with a focus on dune fields, interdune areas, and associated ...
