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 study of post-sedimentaryprocesses like the diagenesis of sediments, or the ichnology or trace left by the activity of the organisms in the sedimentary record.
The practical content of the subject will suppose a fieldtrip of several days of length to see different fossil sedimentary environments . It proposes visit the neogene basins of Sorbas; Nijar and Tabernas in the province of Almería.
