Banded Iron Course
Gain mastery in studying Banded Iron Formations from fieldwork to laboratory analysis. Acquire skills in logging BIFs in outcrops and cores, designing effective sampling and geochemical processes, and integrating petrography, structures, and isotopes to understand Precambrian settings and geology linked to ore deposits. This comprehensive programme equips geologists with essential techniques for professional BIF research and reporting.

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 realistic projects, log and sample with confidence, handle data effectively, and combine petrography, geochemistry, isotopes, and structural data to form robust interpretations of ancient environments and create reports ready for publication.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design BIF studies: establish precise objectives, sampling strategies, and quality control processes.
- Log BIFs in field and core: identify banding, structures, and structural modifications.
- Integrate petrography and geochemistry: correlate textures, REE patterns, and iron isotopes.
- Apply laboratory techniques efficiently: utilise XRF, ICP-MS, XRD, and stable/Fe isotopes for BIF analysis.
- Interpret BIFs within Precambrian contexts: connect to redox conditions, ocean chemistry, and the Great Oxidation Event.
