Banded Iron Course
Gain expertise in Banded Iron Formation (BIF) studies spanning fieldwork to laboratory analysis. Master logging BIFs in outcrops and cores, developing strong sampling and geochemical processes, and connecting petrography, structures, and isotopes to Precambrian environments and mineral deposit geology. This programme equips geologists with essential skills for professional BIF research and reporting.

What Will I Learn?
This course offers a targeted, hands-on approach to mastering Precambrian Banded Iron Formations (BIFs), covering field and core identification through to sophisticated laboratory methods. Participants will learn to plan practical projects, log and sample effectively, handle data, and combine petrography, geochemistry, isotopes, and structural data for robust interpretations of ancient settings and high-quality reports.
Elevify Advantages
Develop Skills
- Design BIF research projects with clear goals, sampling strategies, and quality controls.
- Log BIF features in field outcrops and drill cores, noting banding, structures, and deformations.
- Combine petrographic textures with geochemical data like REE patterns and iron isotopes.
- Employ key lab techniques efficiently: XRF, ICP-MS, XRD, and stable/Fe isotope analyses for BIFs.
- Interpret BIFs within Precambrian settings, relating to redox conditions, ocean chemistry, and Great Oxidation Event.
