APPLIED STRATIGRAPHY

S Y L L A B U S General The course is designed to expose students to modern advances in theoretical foundations and practical applications of basic concept of stratigraphy. This will allow the student to better understand and effectively interpret the stratigraphic record and to evaluate the earth history. The other important goal is to get students involved in the processes of efficiently apply stratigraphic concepts to explore earth resources and especially hydrocarbons. Syllabus PART ONE The review of the foundation of stratigraphy Guide to Stratigraphic procedures Sedimentary Basins : Classification and Evolution Chronostratigraphy and Geologic Time Scale

Evolution PART TWO Applied Stratigraphic Aproach

a) Seismic Stratigraphy b) Sequence Stratigraphy c) Well Logs and Sequence Stratigraphy

PART THREE Application Aspects Application of new stratigraphic approaches to

case- studies from Iraq and Kurdistan Region Term paper presentation on selected topic of related

interest Seminars & presentation of Reading assignments Practical Exercises
