The C3S working group is organizing a community exercise to evaluate and compare approaches for detecting slow slip events along the Cascadia Subduction Zone from continuous GNSS observations. All participants work with a common 2010–2025 dataset and submit candidate events in a standardized format, providing a basis for comparing different detection approaches.
The exercise is intended to encourage collaboration, reproducibility, and the development of new approaches, with code and results remaining available for ongoing community use. Exercise documentation and submission links are provided below.

On October 15, 2026, the University of Oregon joins millions of others across the world to participate in ShakeOut, an annual earthquake awareness drill. Participants practice how to protect themselves during an earthquake – the researched three steps of “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” should be performed as soon as shaking is felt or you receive an earthquake early warning alert.
