I see there are many more chapters/volumes of Knights of Sidonia than there
are episodes. If I were to want to get onto the manga after the anime series
finishes, where would I start and are they directly correlated?

It's not actually that easy to answer. The Anime covers most of the source
material pretty closely but not all of it. Some events have been left out or
altered. Several events have also been shifted around in the time line.

A perfect example of this is the final battle against _Benisuzume_ ( _Crimson
Hawk Moth_ ). It's pretty much the end of Season 2 of the Anime but in the
Manga this fight happens in Volume 9.

However, quite a lot of Volume 10 material also made it into the Anime. In the
Anime these events, mostly some social interactions and the like, happen
before the fight on Lem 9 while they happen afterwards in the Manga. Other
stuff has been left out so the Anime doesn't cover all of Volume 10.

In conclusion the Anime (both seasons) roughly cover the first 10 volumes out
of 15, with about 5 volumes per season.

For anyone interested in reading the Manga (as a third seasons has still to be
announced) I would definitely recommend reading from the start, even if you
know the Anime. It's what I did and you can spot the differences and what has
been left out or changed in comparison.
