International Conference on Rock Magnetism

该奖项将为2017年7月在荷兰乌得勒支举行的岩石磁学及其应用会议提供部分支持，该会议将继续两年一次的系列会议。该系列以前的会议主要在新墨西哥州的圣达菲举行（1992年至2014年期间举行了10次会议），之前有两次国际会议：2002年在西西里岛的Erice和2008年在科西嘉岛的Cargese，这两次会议都是由岩石磁学研究所（IRM）和欧洲同事共同组织的，并由几个国家的资助机构共同赞助。这些在美国以外的偶然访问促进了与国际科学家和学生的更广泛的互动，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“Hoofdijk堡”磁学研究小组合作组织。该奖项将为美国学生、博士后和早期职业教师提供部分旅费。这项活动的更广泛影响包括：(1)跨学科和跨学科的交流，以促进涉及铁矿物及其作为古磁场记录和古环境条件和过程指标的地球科学问题的新方法；(2)为青年科学家的发展提供机会，与国际领先的研究人员会面和互动，获得更深入的理解和更广阔的视角，为未来的跨学科合作奠定基础。在地球物理、地球化学、纳米科学、凝聚态物理等领域，以及在很大程度上沿着这些领域的边界，磁学和磁性材料的研究取得了迅速的进展。跨学科讨论细颗粒磁性在地球科学应用中的关键发展及其基本物理基础，将有助于提高我们对地球的理解。它的表面环境、岩石圈板块和深部内部。

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.
