<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">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.</font><br>
