What we're doing.
Led by members of the Coupling, Seismicity, and Slow Slip (C3S) working group, this technical short course provides requisite tools for recognizing how earthquake cycle signatures in the Cascadia Subduction Zone are expressed in geodetic observations. It will introduce basic processing of geodetic time series to interpret longer-term strain accumulation processes and slow slip events.
Applications are closed.

This is the third Partnerships & Application workshop, designed to explore the challenges and needs of the multi-disciplinary community involved in earthquake hazard study and mitigation in the Pacific Northwest. Workshop discussions in 2024 and 2025 highlighted universal interest in developing scenarios and inter-organizational exercises for preparedness and response as a priority next step. Consequently, a deeper consideration of scenarios has been selected as the central theme for the 2026 P&A workshop.

Led by members of the Cascadia Paleoseismology (CPAL) and Community Fault Model (CFM) working groups, this five-day, field-based technical short course exposes participants to paleoearthquake studies and their application to understanding fault behavior in space and time. Integrated topics include subsidence stratigraphy, ecology-based paleoseismic studies, tsunami deposit mapping, trench-based paleoseismology, high-resolution lidar topography, and surficial geologic mapping. Based at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology in Charleston, the course includes limited classroom time and 4.5 days of fieldwork in the marshes and adjacent uplands of Coos Bay on Oregon’s southern coast.
Application closes May 22, 2026.
