PB-E1: Microfacies analysis and diagenesis of carbonate rocks (PB-E1)5.0 ECTS
(englische Bezeichnung: PB-E1: Microfacies analysis and diagenesis of carbonate rocks)

Lectures:

• • Microfacies Analysis and Diagenesis of Carbonate Rocks [PB-E1; AS-E1b]
    (Vorlesung mit Übung, 4 SWS, Axel Munnecke, Wed, 11:30 - 14:30, ÜR Pal.; Fri; Course is interrupted by a short break. Please register for the course in the StudOn system: https://www.studon.fau.de/studon/goto.php?target=crs_1383729)

Inhalt:

The course starts with an introduction to general carbonate sedimentology (climatic and oceanographic controls, global carbonate provinces, platform types, overview of components, classification of carbonates, SMF-types, etc.). This is followed by examples from various depositional environments and periods in the Earth history, studied during exercises (particularly thin sections, but also loose sediments) in terms of microfacies and diagenetic structures. The importance of these studies is also highlighted with respect to applications (e.g. of hydrocarbon exploration and geothermal energy). Great emphasis is placed on recent developments in carbonate sedimentology (e.g. cold water carbonates, deep-water reefs, bioerosion, cold-seep carbonates).

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

The students are able to:

• give an introduction to carbonate sedimentology

• analyse thin sections and loose sediments in terms of microfacies and diagenetic properties

• use this knowledge in addressing applied questions, e.g. in geothermal energy

• perform an independent sedimentological and microfacies analysis and interpretation of carbonate rocks
