This award will provide partial support to hold a Conference on Rock Magnetism and its Applications in July, 2017 in Utrecht, the Netherlands, continuing a biennial series of such conferences. Previous gatherings in the series have mainly been held in Santa Fe, NM (ten meetings between 1992 and 2014), with two prior international editions: Erice, Sicily in 2002 and Cargese, Corsica in 2008, both of which were co-organized by the Institute for Rock Magnetism (IRM) and European colleagues and co-sponsored by funding agencies from several countries. These occasional forays outside the US promote more extensive interaction with international scientists and students, who are vital contributors to this field of research. The 2017 meeting will be organized in collaboration with the "Fort Hoofdijk" magnetics research group at Utrecht University. This award will provide partial coverage of participant travel expenses for US students, post-docs and early career faculty. Broader impacts of this activity include: (1) transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary communications to foster new approaches to geoscience problems involving iron minerals and their use as paleomagnetic field recorders and as indicators of paleoenvironmental conditions and processes; and (2) the development of young scientists by providing the opportunity to meet and interact with leading international researchers, gaining deeper understanding and broader perspective, and forming a basis for future cross-disciplinary collaborations.Rapid advances in research on magnetism and magnetic materials are occurring in geophysics, geochemistry, nanoscience, condensed-matter physics, and to a great extent, along the boundaries between these fields. An interdisciplinary discussion of critical developments in the geoscience applications of fine-particle magnetism, and their fundamental physical foundations, will help to advance our understanding of Earth?s surface environment, its lithospheric plates and its deep interior.

该奖项将为2017年7月在荷兰乌得勒支举行的岩石磁性及其应用会议提供部分支持，继续两年一次的此类会议。该系列的前几次会议主要在新墨西哥州圣达菲举行（1992年至2014年期间举行了10次会议），之前有两个国际版本：2002年的Erice，西西里和2008年的Cargese，科西嘉，这两个会议都是由岩石磁性研究所和欧洲同事共同组织的，并由来自几个国家的资助机构共同赞助。这些偶尔在美国以外的活动促进了与国际科学家和学生更广泛的互动，他们是这一研究领域的重要贡献者。2017年的会议将与乌得勒支大学的“Fort Hoofdijk”磁性研究小组合作组织。该奖项将为美国学生，博士后和早期职业教师提供部分参与者旅费。 这一活动的更广泛影响包括：（1）跨学科和跨学科的交流，以促进对涉及铁矿物及其作为古磁场记录器和古环境条件和过程的指示器的使用的地球科学问题的新方法;以及（2）通过提供与国际领先研究人员会面和互动的机会，培养年轻科学家，获得更深入的理解和更广阔的视野，磁性和磁性材料研究的快速进展发生在磁性物理学、地球化学、纳米科学、凝聚态物理学中，并在很大程度上沿着这些领域之间的边界。一个跨学科的讨论的关键发展，在地球科学应用的细颗粒磁性，其基本的物理基础，将有助于推进我们对地球的理解？地球的表面环境、岩石圈板块和深部内部。
