[Latinmag] Summer School of Rock Magnetism 2018

[Dario Bilardello]

*Summer School of Rock Magnetism 2018: A Community Based Program for
Training the Next Generation of Paleomagnetists; Application opening
shortly.*



Magnetic geoscience research uses sensitive, nondestructive measurements on
natural materials to illuminate geomagnetic field history, tectonic
processes and environmental changes.  Learn more about the fundamentals and
applications at the fourth biennial Summer School in Rock Magnetism (SSRM),
which will be held June 4-13th, 2018 at the Institute for Rock Magnetism
(IRM) in Minneapolis, MN. The 10-day program is targeted at graduate
students and advanced undergraduate students in rock magnetism,
paleomagnetism, and associated fields. Students will receive intensive
instruction in rock magnetic theory and laboratory techniques. A daily
schedule of lectures, hands-on laboratory measurements, and data processing
will introduce students to the fundamentals of rock magnetism and
paleomagnetism and the practical aspects of collecting and interpreting
data responsibly. Instructors for the summer school will be primarily IRM
faculty and staff. We anticipate a special module on micromagnetic modeling
taught by Wyn Williams, University of Edimburgh.



In addition to a $100 registration fee, participants will be responsible
for the costs of housing, meals, and travel to and from Minneapolis. For
students from outside the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, housing will be
available in University of Minnesota dormitories (~$30 per night). A
limited number of scholarships ($200-$250) will be available to cover some
of the costs for attending the summer program. Participation will be
limited to 20 students, on a first-come first-served basis.  Applications
and registration fees must be received by the deadline, April 30, 2018.



For more information, see the IRM webpage at www.irm.umn.edu. Registration
will open shortly, a further announcement will follow.
