- Study level
- Undergraduate units
- Availability
- Semester 1 (February)
Unit synopsis
Sedimentary rocks cover most the Earth's surface and are arranged into layers that record the planet's evolution over large periods of geological time. The study of sedimentary rocks (sedimentology) and sequences of layers in the Earth’s crust (stratigraphy) can help unravel sedimentary processes, depositional environments and the burial history of the rocks. This allows scientists to develop a detailed geological history of an area, including modern and ancient climate variations, landscape evolution and exploration for resources. Sedimentology and stratigraphy are a fundamental part of the education of any earth scientist, and especially those who wish to be involved in energy and mineral resource exploration, water resource exploration, climate science and management and environmental geology, such as geo-sequestration of carbon, landscape remediation, soil science and investigation of extreme events (e.g., landslides, tsunami and storm surge).

Unit synopsis
Igneous rocks comprise the bulk of the Earth's crust and are formed by geological processes, many of which cannot be directly observed as they occur at relatively high temperature and pressure within the Earth. The structure, texture, mineralogy and chemical composition of igneous rocks therefore provide fundamental clues from which the origin of these rocks can be interpreted. This information can then be used to address larger scale geologic issues, such as the hazard risk and future eruptive potential of volcanoes, constraining magma generating processes and source regions deep within the Earth that lead to a diverse spectrum of magma compositions generated and erupted at the Earth's surface, and the tectonic development of plate boundaries.

Unit synopsis
This unit develops the knowledge and skills required to recognise, classify, describe, record, and interpret deformation structures in rocks, from the scale of millimetres to kilometres. Rock deformation driven by plate tectonics is a fundamental process that shapes the lithosphere of our planet and the complex 3D spatial distribution of rocks within it. Deformation structures control the strength of the lithosphere, generate earthquakes, enable the generation of volcanoes and intrusions, make up the fastest fluid pathways in the lithosphere, and play a key role in the formation of most resource deposits.
