What will I learn?
This course offers a practical guide to mastering Precambrian Banded Iron Formations, covering field identification, core logging, sampling strategies, data handling, and integration of petrography, geochemistry, isotopes, and structures for interpreting ancient settings and creating detailed reports.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design BIF research projects with clear goals, sampling strategies, and quality controls.
- Log BIF features in field and core, noting banding, structures, and deformations.
- Combine petrographic textures with geochemical data like REE and iron isotopes.
- Use key lab techniques swiftly: XRF, ICP-MS, XRD, and isotopic analysis for BIF.
- Interpret BIF in Precambrian settings, linking to redox changes, ocean chemistry, and Great Oxidation Event.
