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学及其应用会议提供部分支持，继续每两年举办一次系列此类会议。该系列之前的会议主要在新墨西哥州圣达菲举行（1992 年至 2014 年期间举行了十次会议），之前的两次国际会议分别是 2002 年在西西里岛埃里塞和 2008 年在科西嘉岛卡吉塞，这两次会议均由岩石磁学研究所（IRM）和欧洲同事以及来自多个国家的资助机构共同赞助。这些偶尔在美国以外的尝试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 年会议将与乌得勒支大学“Fort Hoofdijk”磁学研究小组合作举办。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的旅费。 这项活动的更广泛影响包括：(1) 跨学科和跨学科交流，以促进解决涉及铁矿物及其作为古磁场记录器和古环境条件和过程指标的用途的地球科学问题的新方法； （2）通过提供与国际顶尖研究人员会面和互动的机会，获得更深入的了解和更广阔的视野，为未来的跨学科合作奠定基础，促进年轻科学家的发展。磁性和磁性材料研究的快速进展发生在地球物理学、地球化学、纳米科学、凝聚态物理学中，并且在很大程度上沿着这些领域之间的边界。对细颗粒磁性地球科学应用的关键发展及其基本物理基础进行跨学科讨论，将有助于增进我们对地球表面环境、岩石圈板块及其深层内部的理解。
