[Latinmag] Tenth Santa Fe Conference on Rock Magnetism

[Dario Bilardello]

The Tenth Santa Fe Conference on Rock Magnetism
June 26-29, 2014
St. John's College, Santa Fe, New Mexico
Sponsored by the Institute for Rock Magnetism, with funding provided by NSF

Iron minerals in the Earth's crust and sedimentary cover contain
fossilized records of ancient geomagnetic field activity, and in their
physical and chemical characteristics they hold evidence of geological
processes and events that have affected them.  This conference will
explore the state of the art in magnetic studies of natural materials,
examine methods for extracting paleomagnetic and paleoenvironmental
information through magnetic analysis, and assess what we are learning
from such studies about the history and workings of our planet and its
surroundings.

The Santa Fe Conference format is designed to be interactive and
in-depth, allowing extended periods of open discussion following invited
lead talks on selected topics.  For this meeting, sessions will focus
on: magnetism of the oceanic crust; alteration and remagnetization;
magnetic fabrics; and fundamental rock magnetism.

On-campus accommodation costs (room and meals) will be covered by a
grant from the National Science Foundation, and there is no registration
fee for the conference.  Participation is open to students, post-docs
and faculty researchers, and will be limited to a maximum of fifty
participants.  For session descriptions, schedule and more information
please visit www.irm.umn.edu.

An optional pre-conference field trip (Thursday June 26) will be led by
Mike Petronis (New Mexico Highlands University).  There is a
registration fee of $35 for the field trip, and for those who wish,
Wednesday night accommodations at St John's (including 3 meals) will be
available for $87.75.

An optional full-day workshop on FORC analysis will be held Sunday June
29, led by Richard Harrison (Cambridge) and Josh Feinberg (IRM).  There
is a registration fee of $50 for this workshop.  Participants will
receive an additional night's accommodation at St. John's at no cost.

A limited number of student travel grants ($300-$500) will be available
thanks to funding from NSF.

Registration forms are posted on the IRM web site; deadline for
registering is June 1.
