QGIS Toolkit Product Release
CRESCENT is pleased to share a new set of open-source tools for building realistic 3D fault surfaces directly in QGIS (a free, cross-platform GIS application). These tools are designed to help researchers create non-planar, data-constrained fault geometries from standard geologic and geophysical inputs, including geologic maps, balanced cross-sections, seismic images, and earthquake hypocenters.

CRESCENT AGU 2025
Here’s where you can find us at this year’s American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting.
1. Makah CASE Fall Visit
1st visit of the 2025–2026 program. The team met students, teachers, and community members involved in CCASE—an exciting 1st trip for several of them.

Tsunami Forecasting Breakthrough Earns Gordon Bell Prize
We’re thrilled to share that a team led by Stefan Henneking and Omar Ghattas at UT Austin has been awarded the ACM Gordon Bell Prize for their work on real-time tsunami forecasting in Cascadia. The author team also includes CRESCENT senior personnel Alice-Agnes Gabriel, from UC San Diego, who leads our Dynamic Rupture, Earthquake Cycles, and Tsunamis (DET) working group and showcased this work at our annual meeting in Seattle last month.

Offshore Observations Topical Workshop
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.
