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.
Subduction Zone Science Week is co-organized by the USGS and CRESCENT to focus broadly on the subduction zone natural hazards and community resilience. The goals are to:
– Foster collaboration between subduction zone and multi hazard researchers;
– Bridge gaps, and increase communication among subduction zone research groups; and
– Identify and encourage synergistic collaborative activities in U.S. and global subduction zones.

On June 25-26, more than 140 earthquake scientists, emergency managers, Tribal representatives, engineers, utility operators, and community leaders gathered at the University of Oregon’s Portland campus to tackle a common question that spreads across their fields: How can science better support decisions before, during, and after the next major Cascadia earthquake?
We are excited to announce the publication of two foundational articles on CRESCENT in Seismological Research Letters. Together, these papers establish the scientific, community engagement, and educational vision and framework for CRESCENT and serve as the foundational references for CRESCENT.
