Conference: 13th IRM Conference on Rock Magnetism

磁性和磁性材料的研究在地球物理、地球化学、纳米科学、凝聚态物理，以及在很大程度上沿着这些领域之间的边界正在取得进展。对细粒子磁学在地球科学中应用的关键进展及其基本物理基础进行跨学科的讨论，将有助于我们加深对地球表面环境、构造史和深部内部动力学的理解。该奖项支持2023年6月5日至8日在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯举行的岩石磁性及其应用会议，延续自1992年开始的两年一次的系列会议。夏季会议系列的广泛目标是汇聚该领域目前和未来的领导者，深入讨论岩石和矿物磁学的基本方面，以及在全球地球物理、构造学、地外磁学和地表环境研究中的应用；这些讨论旨在更加深入、互动和持续。2023年会议的一个明确目标是探索铁在时间上的循环，一位生物地球化学铁循环方面的领先专家将被邀请作为主旨演讲人和参与者。另一个关键目标是讨论古地理和构造学方面的重大挑战。学生和早期职业研究人员将被支持参加会议。计划举行一次会议，讨论美国古地磁和岩石磁学社区日益多样化的问题。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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 applications of fine particle magnetism in the geosciences, as well as their fundamental physical foundations, will help to advance our understanding of Earth's surface environment, tectonic history, and its deep interior dynamics. This award supports the Conference on Rock Magnetism and its Applications, June 5-8, 2023 in Minneapolis, MN, continuing a biennial series of conferences started in 1992. The broad goal of the Summer Conference series is to bring together present and future leaders in the field for in-depth discussion of fundamental aspects of rock and mineral magnetism, and applications in global geophysics, tectonics, extraterrestrial magnetism, and surficialenvironmental studies; these discussions are intended to be more intensive, interactive and sustained. One explicit aim of the 2023 conference is to explore iron cycling through time and a leading expert on the biogeochemistry iron cycle will be invited as a keynote speaker and participant. Another key objective is to discuss grand challenges in paleogeography and tectonics. Students and early career researchers will be supported to attend the meeting. A session is planned to discuss increasing diversity in the US paleomagnetism and rock magnetism community.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
