2017 MagIC Workshop registration and hotel discount rate deadline this week
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to attend the 2017 MagIC Workshop from the 24th to the 27th of January, 2017 hosted at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California. This Friday the 23rd is the deadline for getting the special rate at the Hotel La Jolla and registration for the workshop closes on Dec 24th. See our two day speaker schedule below. We will also have two days of discussion and talks on how to use the MagIC database and the PmagPy paleomagnetic analysis software. To register and get more information, please visit the workshop website (https://earthref.org/events/MAGIC/2017/).
Enjoy the Holidays,
The MagIC Database Team
