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.
