Geological Field Trips
North West Nelson Field Trip
This trip will provide a strong grounding in basic sedimentology as well as help understand
the sedimentology of large–scale depositional systems. This will enable geoscientists
to recognise these deposits in the subsurface and help predict their lateral extents.
Ichnology and Petroleum Reservoirs: A Core Workshop
A course designed for geoscientists or geoscience students working in the oil and gas industry
who want to expand their sedimentological knowledge and
understand the applications
of ichnology in reservoir description. This course is run on conjunction with Dr Luis Buatois.
