SSA Special Interest Group (SIG)
CRESCENT Mid-Stream: Science and Applications in the Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center
Noon–12:45 PM | Ballroom G

Conveners: Valerie Sahakian, Amanda Thomas, and Harold Tobin

The Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center (CRESCENT) is a nexus for research into earthquake hazards and their impacts in the Pacific Northwest. Now in its third year, CRESCENT is engaged in a wide range of activities to increase understanding of hazard via “community models” of faults, geophysical structure, paleoseismic history and geodetic strain, as well as fostering models of dynamic rupture, ground motion and more. Additionally, CRESCENT promotes development of next-generation scientists and engagement of stakeholders at all levels. In this SIG, CRESCENT leaders will provide an update of the center’s activities and accomplishments to date and future plans.
