Higher education institutions serve as crucial centers for graduate education,with one of their primary missions being the continual enhancement of graduate students'innovation capabilities to better meet the needs of national economic and social development.However,in China's universities,the development of graduate education has far outpaced the progress in graduate textbook construction,posing significant challenges to the training process.Combining these challenges with the specific issues faced in the sedimentary geology graduate education process,including the lack of knowledge system carriers,difficulty in integrating various training components,and the need to strengthen distinctive capabilities,Chengdu University of Technology was the first university in China to successfully create a series of sedimentary geology graduate textbooks covering theoretical,experimental,and practical teaching components.This series of textbooks effectively supports the high-quality training of sedimentary geology graduate students and has cultivated a cohort of talent equipped with distinctive innovative capabilities.These textbooks have found widespread application and expanded the scope of textbook services both in terms of fields and regions.
