            are pleased to announce the 2024 IRM Summer School in Rock
            Magnetism will run from June 3rd-12th at the home of the
            IRM, the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. Please save
            this date on your calendars!<br>
            <br>
            <b>About the summer school:</b><br>
            <br>
            This 10-day program is targeted at graduate students,
            advanced undergraduate students, and postdocs in rock
            magnetism, paleomagnetism, and associated fields.
            Participants 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 participants to the fundamentals
            of rock magnetism and paleomagnetism and the practical
            aspects of collecting and interpreting data. Instructors for
            the Summer School will be primarily IRM faculty and staff. A
            special workshop on quantum diamond magnetometry will be led
            by Prof. Roger Fu (Harvard University). <br>
            <br>
            Details of the summer school will be posted on the IRM

            <b>Considerations:</b><br>
            <br>
            As the number of applicants for the school typically exceeds
            the IRM's capacity to teach the school effectively, we can
            only accommodate 20 participants.<br>
            <br>
            Applicants will be selected based on a balance of
            considerations, including how far along a student is in
            their studies, how many other applicants are from the same
            institution, and the overall diversity of the summer school.
            To foster academic diversity, a limit of 3 participants per
            research group has been set (more participants from the same
            institution will be considered if space allows).<br>
