The integrated study of sedimentary basins as geodynamic entities, including tectonic environment, geologic history and associated strength of the lithosphere, rock weathering and erosion, and sediment transport. The class will give students a background in driving mechanisms for basin formation and subsidence, sedimentary record preservation and alterationk, sedimentary geometry, facies and petrology and provide a basic understanding of the continuum mechanics equations that approximate basin formation
