<div><font size="4" face="Roboto">We are happy to
announce that pre-registration for the 14th IRM
Conference on Rock Magnetism is now open. The
deadline </font><font size="4" face="Roboto"><font

<br>
</font>
<hr width="100%" size="2"><font size="4"

pre-registration</b><br>
<br>
The meeting will be held on the University of
Minnesota Twin-Cities campus, <b>June 9-12th</b>.<br>
<br>
</font><font size="4" face="Roboto">Financial
support from NSF and our sponsors allows us to
cover the cost of lodging and food for most
in-person attendees. Partial travel support will
be available to students. <br>
<br>
There will be a virtual option to allow those who
cannot attend in person to stream the keynote and
oral session presentations. </font><font size="4"

<font size="4" face="Roboto"> <br>
There will be four oral sessions, two keynote
speakers, a poster session, and a workshop. The
oral sessions are by invitation only, but we
welcome poster presentations on any topics that
explore the magnetic properties of
minerals/natural materials and their applications
to Earth and planetary sciences.<br>
<br>
The conference is open to all and there are no
fees, but registration is required for both those
interested in attending in-person or virtually. <b>We
are limiting the number of in-person attendees
to 50</b>, and we </font><font size="4"
face="Roboto">will be using a two-stage
registration process to assess the number of
people hoping to attend in-person or virtually. </font><font
size="4" face="Roboto">For both in-person and
virtual participation we kindly ask that you
complete the </font><font size="4" face="Roboto">Google
</font><font size="4" face="Roboto">pre-registration
form linked below.</font><br>
<font size="4" face="Roboto"> <br>

<br>
<br>
Following the pre-registration deadline, we will
contact both those interested in attending
in-person and virtually. For those who would like
to attend in-person, we will let you know if we
can accommodate you and will provide information
on the second registration step. <i><b>Please do
not make travel arrangements at this time. We
ask that you wait until you receive
confirmation of in-person attendance from the
IRM. </b></i><br>
