The subject helps to solve real-world problems in the exploration for and production of resources, e.g., water, coal, oil, or natural gas. In essence, this course on sequence stratigraphy will introduce the students with the basic principles and methodologis of sequence stratigraphy used for the purpose of better describing and reconstructing geological history in any sedimentary basin. The course is relevant for people aspiring jobs related to petroleum, coal, groundwater, and for competitive examinations like GATE, UPSC, etc. Intended audience: Undergraduate, post-graduate and Ph.D. students, officials from oil/coal industries Prerequisites: B.Sc./M.Sc./Int. M.Tech/M.Tech/ MS in Earth Science/ Geology/Applied Geology with sedimentology as a full semester course at any level ## Lectures 1.
