Course Outcomes

At the end of the programme participants will have a greater understanding of the following key attributes:

Identify the pitfalls in the use of biostratigraphical data and therefore to optimize it’s use in sediments of different ages and in different palaeoenvironments

Practice working knowledge of different biostratigraphical techniques

Plan the biostratigraphical analyses and programmes for best results at a minimum cost

Use the integrated biostratigraphical data to build a high-resolution sequence stratigraphy

Learn which microfossil groups to use for which age of sediments and how they are used as palaeoenvironmental indicators

Understand the stratigraphical type sections and the relation between biostratigraphy and chronostratigraphy

Integrate biostratigraphical data and seismic sequence stratigraphy
