Advancing Research Excellence for Through Intentional Mentorship for a Stronger Geoscience Workforce!
Statewide California Earthquake Center – SCEC and CRESCENT are co-facilitating an interactive training designed to help mentors develop skills for engaging in productive, culturally responsive, research mentoring relationships– relationships that optimize the success of both mentors and mentees. This training is built on the evidence-based Entering Mentoring curriculum from the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experience in Research (CIMER).
This workshop is open to researchers at all career stages who are interested in strengthening their mentoring skills.

The goal of the Ground Motion Modeling Special Interest Group Topical Workshop is to define from a community perspective the broad needs, goals, and directions of ground motion modeling and hazard in Cascadia. The desired outcome is to write a peer reviewed roadmap or opinion piece for this frontier.

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.

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.

Following the first iteration of this workshop in June 2024, this two-day event is designed to explore the emergent 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 the following themes:
-Science communication
-Emergency preparedness and response
-Data availability and access
-Resource limitations
