What will I learn?

This course provides a focused, practical pathway to mastering Precambrian banded iron formations (BIFs), covering field and core identification through to advanced laboratory methods. Participants will learn to develop practical projects, log and sample effectively, handle data management, and combine petrography, geochemistry, isotopes, and structural data for robust interpretations of ancient environments, culminating in publication-quality reports.

Elevify advantages

Develop skills

  • Design targeted BIF studies with clear objectives, sampling strategies, and quality control processes.
  • Log BIF features accurately in field outcrops and drill cores, including banding, structures, and deformation.
  • Integrate petrographic textures with geochemical data like REE patterns and iron isotopes.
  • Apply key lab techniques efficiently: XRF, ICP-MS, XRD, and stable/Fe isotope analysis for BIFs.
  • Interpret BIFs within Precambrian settings, connecting to redox changes, ocean chemistry, and Great Oxidation Event.
