This interdisciplinary workshop aims to integrate experimental, imaging, and modeling studies on shallow faulting and deformation and tsunamigenesis for the Cascadia Subduction Zone.  We welcome participants interested in frictional fault properties, aseismic slip, fluid pressure, splay faulting, off-fault deformation, acoustic laboratory studies, seafloor geodesy and remote sensing, and offshore DAS. The workshop will generate a community white paper focusing on how to better account for the complexity of shallow deformation to assess tsunami hazard for Cascadia.Â

This workshop is designed to explore the challenges and needs of the multi-disciplinary community involved in earthquake hazard study and mitigation in the Pacific Northwest. A mix of CRESCENT research updates, community presentations, and facilitated discussion sessions will address themes identified in previous iterations of this workshop, including: scenario development, data access, science communication, and co-designed research.
