January 2027 CRESCENT Meeting

January 12-15, 2027 Subduction Zone Science Week will convene the nation’s leading subduction zone researchers, federal scientists, engineers, and community partners to integrate global and Cascadia-focused knowledge across earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, landslides, and cascading hazards.

This meeting fills a critical national gap by creating a structured forum that aligns the complementary investments of CRESCENT and USGS, strengthens communication across research groups, and identifies collaborative activities essential for advancing hazard assessments, monitoring infrastructure, and resilience strategies.

The knowledge synthesized during this meeting will directly inform the tools, models, and warning systems that protect millions of people living in Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, the Caribbean, and other U.S. regions exposed to subduction zone hazards.
