Williston Basin Carbonate Core Workshop

The beginning of the workshop, titled Basics of Carbonate Sedimentology, will be co-led by sedimentology professors Dr. Sven Egenhoff (University of North Dakota) and Dr. Antun Husinec (St. Lawrence University). Dr. Egenhoff and Dr. Husinec will cover the basics of carbonate rocks and depositional systems through a series of PowerPoint presentations with period breaks to review core examples of carbonate sedimentary features.

The second half of the workshop will consist of core examples ranging from Ordovician to Mississippian in age from the Williston Basin. The contents of this course will apply to anyone working on carbonate rocks within the Williston Basin and beyond, whether for petroleum resources, carbonate sequestration, and beyond.
