GEL 109: Sediments and Strata (Sumner)

My goal for Sediments and Strata is to help you develop the tools that will allow you to observe the important characteristics of sedimentary rocks, understand the processes that produced them, interpret their depositional environments, and recognize the insights they can provide on diverse fields in geology such as tectonics, environmental geology, economic resources, evolution, climate change, etc.
