Sedimentary geology is a particular strength of the University of Kansas and KU's Department of Geology. With history stretching to the founders of the discipline, KU Sedimentary Geology is diverse, covering specialties in Carbonates, Clastics, Petroleum Geology, Sequence Stratigraphy, Tectonics, and Sedimentary Processes and Geochemistry and Diagenesis. KU's Sedimentary Geology faculty is well integrated with KU Paleontology, shares resources and personnel with the Kansas Geological Survey and offers students access to generous financial support and the Kansas Interdisciplinary Carbonates Consortium.
