Course:
Sedimentary Geology, EPSC 355 (3 credits)
Course description:
EPSC 355 (Sedimentary Geology) provides students with a broad understanding in the origin, classification, diagenesis and economic importance of sedimentary rocks. The course includes discussion of the processes of weathering, erosion, and sedimentation, including the formation of bedforms and other sedimentary structures, as well as the physical, chemical, and biological alteration of siliciclastic and carbonate sediments after deposition. The course links stratigraphic principles with the study of modern depositional environments and sequence stratigraphy as a means of interpreting the stratigraphic record. It also provides a background in the origin of economic resources in sedimentary rocks, such as iron formation, phosphorite deposits, coal, and petroleum.
Job Description:
The course comprises thirteen weeks of teaching, with two 1.5-hour lectures and one 3-hour laboratory class every week. The instructor will be responsible for teaching lectures, setting up labs, creating and marking exams (including a final exam), meeting with students, and managing teaching assistants for the course. TA support is based on enrolment, forecast at 25 students for Winter 2027.
Teaching Qualification Requirements:
We are looking for an instructor with a PhD or other advanced degree in Earth Sciences or a similar field who has previously taught or applied sedimentological and stratigraphic principles, preferably with experience studying sedimentary rocks in the field.
