Summer School for Rock Magnetism 2020: A Community Based Program for
Training the Next Generation of PaleomagnetistsPre-Registration opening
Monday February 24th!

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 sixth biennial Summer School for Rock Magnetism (SSRM),
which will be held June 1-10th, 2020 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.

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 (~$60 per night). A
limited number of Student scholarships will be provided thanks to the
support of the *American Geophysical Union, Geomagnetism & Paleomagnetism
section* and the *National Science Foundation* 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. *Note that to foster academic
diversity, a limit of 2 students per research group has been set*; more
students from the same institution will be considered if space allows.

We plan to *open the pre-registration on Monday February 24th*. Accepted
students will soon after be provided a link to the registration site for
payment. Applications and registration fees must be received by the
deadline, April 30, 2020. Students will then be responsible for making
their own reservations in the selected University of Minnesota dormitory
(for which information will be provided) or organizing their own
accommodation.

When registering, students will be asked to *provide a short Research
Interest statement *that will be used to form the student groups for the
lab exercises.

Students interested in *applying for a scholarship* will also be asked
to *provide
a statement explaining why attending the Summer School will be beneficial
for their professional development* (max 4,000 words) and other information
they may want to add, in addition to providing an estimate of their
round-trip travel cost, whether they have funding available from their
advisors/institutions, and to what extent.

Registration typically fills up within the first few days, so we encourage
interested students to apply as early as possible.

More information will be posted on this website as it becomes available and
will also be circulated through our community's mailing lists, further
announcements will follow!
