This subject tackles the knowledge of the geological processes that take place in the marine field from the line of coast until the abyssal plain. They will analyse the processes of transport and sedimentation that control the movement of sediment and the sedimentary structures resultant in the different marine environments. Also it tackles the sismoestratigraphical interpretation, like tool for the interpretation of sequences and geological cycles in the differents sedimentary environments.
The practical content of the subject will consist in a field trip of several days of length to see different ancient sedimentary environments. It proposes visit the neogen basins of Sorbas; Nijar and Tabernas in the province of Almería for the characterisation in situ of the lithology, the facies and the sedimentary architecture of a wide variety of environments (alluvial fans, beaches, deltas, reefs, carbonatic shelfs, evapories, slumps, debris flows, turbidites, pelagic), as well as the sedimentary processes and tectonic that have controlled his origin and space-temporary evolution .
