Offshore Observations Topical Workshop

In an effort to coordinate future offshore science in Cascadia, we are designing the Offshore Observations workshop to bring together geoscientists across a variety of disciplines that use offshore datasets to study subduction zones. The workshop will comprise a series of short talk sessions followed by breakout groups. Session topics include fluid pathways and hydrology of subduction zones, constraints on megathrust locking state and shallow slow slip, accretionary wedge deformation, structure of the incoming plate, and future plans for ocean drilling, fiber-optic sensing, and cabled infrastructure.

Small Grants

2024-25 Seed Grant Awards

The CRESCENT Seed Grant Program has the dual goals of broadening community participation and increasing the breadth of scientific investigations related to the center’s goals. The center invited the community to participate through a proposal call to address key scientific challenges identified through CRESCENT’s three major pillars. This year we had 33 seed grant applicants of which 11 were funded.

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.
