Course Details
This course is conducted at the United States Geological Survey Core Research Center (USGS-CRC) in Lakewood, Colorado, USA – one of the largest laboratories in the world where core is collected and stored. Not only is there a large room where several hundred meters of core can be displayed at a time but there is also a classroom where lectures can be delivered. The course will run for 3-days and participants will get to log at least 100 meters of core on a cm-scale. We believe that one learns by doing and not watching and at the end of the course participants will be confident in their ability to describe and interpret carbonate core from a wide range of depositional environments.
If your interest lies in something specific (for example microbial carbonates), please let us know in advance so we can arrange cores that would be relevant to your learning objectives.
Who Should Attend
Oil and professionals and Graduate Students who are working on the exploration and development of carbonates and mining geologists and engineers who are working on carbonate-hosted metals.
