Science

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.

CRESCENT Annual Meeting – Jan 10, 2025

CRESCENT will hold a 1-day meeting adjacent to the USGS Subduction Zone Science Meeting at the UW campus in Seattle.

This cross-disciplinary workshop will review state-of-the-art of tsunami risk assessments, scientific gaps, and technical advancements to be implemented in the future. Designed to be of interest to participants from different scientific and engineering fields, the workshop will address four core themes.

An online workshop to update the community on CRESCENT CVM goals and broaden the participation of/interaction with the Cascadia-focused research community. The workshop will include presentations and discussions on existing velocity models, velocity model creation workflows, model validation techniques, and uses of velocity models by various sub-disciplines and communities to further research agendas. We look to solicit feedback and create potential collaborations that can contribute to the success of the CRESCENT CVM by learning from prior experiences and better understanding community needs, uses, considerations, and potential pitfalls.
