[Latinmag] IRM Summer School

[Dario Bilardello]

*Summer School for Rock Magnetism 2020: A Community Based Program for
Training the Next Generation of Paleomagnetists*

*Pre-Registration is open!*

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.

*Please follow this link to the application form: *

Applications will be accepted in the order they are received and respecting
the limit of two students per research group/institution. Links to the
payment site will be emailed separately to the first 20 students to apply.
All other applications will be placed on a waitlist in the order they are
received.

Registrations are not confirmed until payment receipt has been
received. 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 characters) 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.
