Sedimentology is the study of how particles are transported, deposited, and lithified into the sedimentary rocks that cover roughly 75% of Earth's land surface. From the Stokes settling of clay particles in quiet lakes to the catastrophic turbidity currents that carve submarine canyons, sedimentary processes record Earth's history in layers of stone that geologists learn to read like pages of a book.
These simulations model grain settling dynamics, turbidite deposition sequences, bedload transport thresholds, facies stacking governed by Walther's law, and porosity loss during burial compaction — giving you hands-on experience with the quantitative tools used by petroleum geologists, basin analysts, and sedimentary researchers.
