Partnerships & Applications Workshop

June 27, 2024, 8:30 am – 5:00 pm – White Stag, Portland, OR

Meeting Purpose

Our inaugural Partnerships and Applications Workshop on June 27, 2024 is designed to bring together representatives from communities concerned with Cascadia earthquake hazards resilience and research, including local, state and federal agencies, tribal organizations, emergency managers, utilities, industry, non-profits, and educational institutions. Through speaker and poster presentations and interactive discussion sessions, we will identify these groups’ various needs as they relate to a better understanding of the Cascadia Subduction Zone. CRESCENT science working group representatives will give updates on center research and milestones for the current 5yr NSF funding cycle. Through this forum we aim for participants to identify:

(i) the CRESCENT research/products most beneficial to their organization

(ii) complementary initiatives and opportunities for collaboration

(iii) a process and plan for effectively engaging with the research
