<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

used to form the student groups for the lab
exercises), </font></font></font><font size="4"><font

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 whether applicants bring differing
experiences, talents, and perspectives to our community.
To foster institutional 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>
