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.

This interdisciplinary workshop aims to integrate experimental, imaging, and modeling studies on shallow faulting and deformation and tsunamigenesis for the Cascadia Subduction Zone. We welcome participants interested in frictional fault properties, aseismic slip, fluid pressure, splay faulting, off-fault deformation, acoustic laboratory studies, seafloor geodesy and remote sensing, and offshore DAS. The workshop will generate a community white paper focusing on how to better account for the complexity of shallow deformation to assess tsunami hazard for Cascadia.
