 & Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp; 1、 Personal Introduction: Lan Caiyun is currently an associate professor and doctoral supervisor at Northwestern University. I studied at Xi'an University of Science and Technology for my undergraduate degree; I studied Solid Geophysics at the Institute of Geology, China Earthquake Administration from 2007 to 2010 and obtained a Master of Science degree; Later, he studied mineralogy, petrology and ore deposit science at the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 2015, he received a doctor's degree in science. I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry and Northwest University from 2015 to 2020; Afterwards, he taught at Northwestern University. For over a decade, I have been engaged in research on the pre Cambrian banded iron ore (BIF) and paleomarine and atmospheric environments. I am currently serving as a young editorial board member of "Tectonics and Metallogeny"

Currently interested in: early Earth atmosphere and marine environment, atmospheric oxygenation events, Fe and S elemental cycles, iron ore genesis
