Sedimentology
Sedimentology is the study of sediment and the processes that form and transport it. Sedimentology is an important aspect of stratigraphy because sedimentary rocks make up a large portion of the Earth's crust and contain valuable information about the Earth's history. Sedimentologists use a variety of techniques, including field observations, laboratory analyses, and numerical modeling, to study the characteristics of sediment and the processes that control its formation and transport.
