The Laboratory of Sedimentology (LS) was established 1984, inside the Geology Department of the University of Patras. The laboratory has been mainly concerned with facies analysis and interpretation of ancient and recent depositional environments, sedimentary basin analysis and hydrocarbon habitats either in extensional or compressional tectonic settings.

The Sedimentological Laboratoty contributed greatly to the foundation of the Greek Sedimentological Association during 2003, which is the branch of the International Association of Sedimentologists in Greece.
