The course is made for everyone interested in the understanding and interpretation of all sort of organic matter in sedimentary rocks. From organic matter production to distribution and preservation, just as maturation of organic matter and also the transformation to hydrocarbons. It provides the full information available from microscopical analysis of organic matter. The course includes applications to palaeoenvironmental analysis, facies and basin analysis, just as hydrocarbon exploration and will be of great benefit for both scientific research and hydrocarbon exploration. It includes material from a wide range of environments throughout all ages, from Proterozoic to Tertiary.
The course is made for palynologists, palaeontologists, geologists and geochemists, both from academia and industry. General principles of palynology, facies analysis, sequence stratigraphy and hydrocarbon generation are provided in the course. Participants will significantly increase their understanding of organic matter in sedimentary systems and the development of hydrocarbon systems.
This 5 days course is made of lectures in the morning and microscope exercises in the afternoon.
It includes a comprehensive course manuscript and additionally a free copy of my new comprehensive paper on optical kerogen analysis
The program includes a lunchbreak and short coffee breaks
Course language is English.
Bring your own palynology / organic matter slides. There will be time to work on and discuss own slides.
