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.
