Some comments and discussion in a recent post about stratigraphy motivated me to finish this post about the future of sedimentary geology, which I started a few months ago but never finished. The fact ...

Researchers have added a new source of carbon dioxide to the complex climate change puzzle by showing that ancient rocks can release substantial amounts of organic matter into Earth's rivers and ...

Sedimentary rocks are made up of pieces of older rocks (igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary) and organic remains (shells, bone, etc.). When rocks break apart from erosion they are transported by ...

SedEx, or sedimentary exhalative deposits, are ore deposits formed when hydrothermal fluids enter a water reservoir, such as an ocean, and precipitate minerals. SedEx deposits are a major source of ...

Plastistones, a new type of sedimentary rock that’s part-plastic and part-rock, has been found on at least five continents and 11 countries. These rocks form when molten plastic cools within a mineral ...

This article discusses a study published in Nature that reveals the previously underestimated contribution of geological weathering of carbon-rich sedimentary rocks to the global carbon cycle. The ...

This is one of our most important topics of the semester. Plan to read this material now and review it again a few times in the second half of the semester. We will be doing quite a lot of work in ...
