Course Objectives		This course addresses key fundamentals of carbonate and evaporite sediments and rocks mineralogy, chemistry, texture, sedimentary structures, sedimentary environments, depositional processes and controlling factors, diagenesis processes and controlling factors, application of evaporite formations in oil and gas exploration and mineral sources, and salt diapers tectonics.
Course Description		The course covers important topics related to carbonate and evaporite sediments and sedimentary rocks mineralogy geochemistry, fabric, texture, sedimentary structures, classifications, identifications under polarizing microscope, deposition and diagenesis processes, sedimentary environments, tectono-sedimentary evolution of carbonate evaporites basins, application in petroleum and gas exploration and mineral resources and salt domes tectonics.
Course Outcomes		Graduate students learn and apply the basic understanding of sedimentary rocks provenance analysis including: 1. Understand carbonate and evaporite minerals and the basic chemistry of the carbonate system 2. Understand the carbonate rock factory, components, and their classification 3. Understand the concepts of depositional environments, facies, and facies belts 4. Understand the principles of diagenesis and diagenetic processes 5. Application of evaporite deposits in oil and gas exploration and mineral resource 6. Understand the principles of salt diapers tectonics
