Fluids in Cascadia Topical Workshop

Fluids are ubiquitous in subduction zones and play a fundamental role in modulating many observed processes along the megathrust and other related faults, including slip behaviors and deformation mode. This cross-disciplinary workshop brings together geophysicists, geologists, geochemists, and modelers to discuss the role of fluids in Cascadia.

Community Fault Model Topical Workshop

A workshop to solicit input from the community on the CRESCENT Community Fault Model (CFM) v1.0 and discuss improvements for future versions of the CFM. The workshop will highlight the current goals, criteria for inclusion, and status of the CFM. We welcome participants to share new results from both previously known and newly discovered fault systems in both onshore and offshore regions of Cascadia. The workshop will focus on faults in both the upper plate (North America), the lower plate (Juan de Fuca), and the plate interface.

1. First Site Visit at NBHS

Here are some photos from the first Makah CASE site visit to Neah Bay High School (NBHS) from December 2-4! NBHS is on the Olympic Peninsula in the Makah Nation. My team and I taught a lesson about earthquakes and seismometers to three high school science classes. We also got to know the students and teachers, participated in a Makah language class (we did really well on the Quizlet games!) and were given a private tour of the Makah Cultural and Research Center Museum by Elder Mare. Excited to go back and teach for a week in the spring!
