[Martin Chadima]

Dear Colleagues,

This is to inform you that you still may register to the following 
life-virtual short course (via ZOOM) taking place during the 35th 
International Association of Sedimentologists - Meeting of Sedimentology 
(IAS2021)

SC4: *Rock magnetic methods in sedimentology*

1 day, June 18, 2021, 9:00–16:00 CEST (UTC + 2)

*The course is life-virtual but it will be recorded to allow the 
off-line participation of those in less favorable time 
zones.***(Technical details concerning availability of this off-line 
version are currently discussed but will be known soon.)

*Registration is OPEN till 15th June TO EVERYONE, not exclusively to the 
IAS2021 meeting participants.*

Price: Full 35 EUR, Student 25 EUR

Course leaders: Anne-Christine da Silva (University of Liège, Belgium), 
Balazs Bradak (Kobe University, Japan), Jacek Grabowski (Polish 
Geological Institute, Poland), František Hrouda (AGICO Ltd. and Charles 
University, Czech Republic), Martin Chadima (AGICO Ltd. and The Czech 
Academy of Sciences, Czech Republic)

Short description: Over the last few decades, the use of rock magnetic 
methods in Earth Sciences has expanded dramatically. Due to the 
sensitivity of the state-of-the-art instruments, the rock magnetic 
measurements are nowadays applicable to virtually any rock type, 
including those showing magnetism so weak that they are commonly 
considered as non-magnetic. The benefits of rock magnetic methods 
include high sensitivity, rapidity, ease of sample preparation, non- 
destructiveness, the ability to sense grain-size variation. The 
objective of this course is to provide an overview of rock magnetic 
methods commonly used in sedimentological research. The course will 
consist of five blocks covering the following topics: (1) introduction 
to rock magnetism and the significance of magnetic proxy parameters; (2) 
magnetic fabric of sediments and its application to decipher flow 
direction, degree of vertical compaction and deformation; (3) rock 
magnetic methods applied to aeolian sediments and loess/paleosol 
deposits; (4) magnetic geochronology studied by polarity-reversal 
magnetostratigraphy; (5) magnetic cyclostratigraphy as studied by 
astronomically-forced variations on rock magnetic parameters. The course 
will be concluded by a practical demonstration of measurements derived 
from the case studies.
