GEOL 4541 - Carbonate Depositional Systems II
Field study of modern and Pleistocene carbonate rocks and depositional environments of the Bahamas. Involves a week long field trip during spring break and a post-field project.
Requisites: GEOL 4540 or concurrent
Credit Hours: 1
OHIO BRICKS Bridge: Learning and Doing
Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 40.0 laboratory
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes: - Apply knowledge gained in the classroom setting in GEOL 4540 to field setting.
- Apply sequence stratigraphic principles to determine geologic and climatic history preserved in the rock record.
- Create a field guide to the geology and carbonate sedimentology of the field sites visited to synthesize information learned in the field.
- Gain a detailed appreciation for carbonate deposition and the ability to use scientific observation to analyze and interpret ancient depositional environments.
- Learn to interpret depositional setting of Pleistocene and Holocene carbonate rocks based on skeletal and non-skeletal constituents.
- Learn to take detailed field data of observations.
- Observe modern and ancient karst processes due to both mixing zone and surface hydrologic conditions.
- Observe modern carbonate depositional systems and critically consider the sedimentary and diagenetic processes involved in the transition from sediment to carbonate rock.
