  • This course helped me a lot in understanding the depositional system of the river which i used to study in my university classes along with the sequence of the deposition. Especially the para sequence, Some of the lacking i would say it doesn't provide clear overview on the mechanism of deep fan sediment deposition. Overall its a handy course to complete
