Sedimentology

Home Geology Branches 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.

Diagenesis of Sedimentary Rocks

Diagenesis is the process by which sedimentary rocks are altered after they are deposited, but before they are buried and lithified (turned into rock)....
