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
website: </font></font><font size="4" face="monospace"><font

form the student groups for the lab exercises), </font></font></font><font

and whether funding is available from your advisor or
institution.<br>

<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>
