This short course is a series of lectures and exercises on sedimentology and stratigraphy of deltas and recent changes on the Delta Concept. For beginning students we provide confidence in recognizing delta deposits, and for experienced geologists a discussion on new debates/topics on deltas. The lectures will focus on modern/ Holocene deltas and processes, including subaqueous deltas. Sedimentary structures and bed succession criteria will be emphasized for recognition of types of ancient deltas. From modern deltas and sedimentary structures the students will be taught to delve into interpreting outcrop and subsurface datasets of delta deposits, including compound deltas.
