Sedimentary Geology
by Donald R. Prothero, Fred Schwab · Prothero
Undergraduate textbook pairing sedimentary petrology with stratigraphic principles: sediment texture and composition, depositional environments, then sequence and seismic stratigraphy. Prepares a reader to interpret a measured section and correlate rock units across a basin.

USGS program page on fluvial sediment, linking its sampling protocols, laboratory methods for suspended-sediment concentration and particle size, and the national monitoring data. Shows how sediment transport is actually measured in rivers rather than only modelled.
SEPM - Society for Sedimentary Geology
Open teaching archive from the Society for Sedimentary Geology covering sequence stratigraphy, carbonate and clastic depositional systems. Combines lecture notes, outcrop and thin-section image galleries, animations, and interpretation exercises on well logs and seismic sections with worked answers.
