What we're doing, what we've done, and where we're going.

Community Fault Model Topical Workshop

A workshop to solicit input from the community on the CRESCENT Community Fault Model (CFM) v1.0 and discuss improvements for future versions of the CFM. The workshop will highlight the current goals, criteria for inclusion, and status of the CFM. We welcome participants to share new results from both previously known and newly discovered fault systems in both onshore and offshore regions of Cascadia. The workshop will focus on faults in both the upper plate (North America), the lower plate (Juan de Fuca), and the plate interface.

2025 Partnerships & Applications Workshop

Following the first iteration of this workshop in June 2024, this two-day event is designed to explore the emergent challenges and needs of the multi-disciplinary community involved in earthquake hazard study and mitigation in the Pacific Northwest. A mix of CRESCENT research updates, community presentations, and facilitated discussion sessions will address the following themes:

-Science communication
-Emergency preparedness and response
-Data availability and access
-Resource limitations

DET Topical Workshop

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.

2026 Partnerships & Applications Workshop

This is the third Partnerships & Application workshop, designed to explore the challenges and needs of the multi-disciplinary community involved in earthquake hazard study and mitigation in the Pacific Northwest. Workshop discussions in 2024 and 2025 highlighted universal interest in developing scenarios and inter-organizational exercises for preparedness and response as a priority next step. Consequently, a deeper consideration of scenarios has been selected as the central theme for the 2026 P&A workshop.

Fluids in Cascadia Topical Workshop

Fluids are ubiquitous in subduction zones and play a fundamental role in modulating many observed processes along the megathrust and other related faults, including slip behaviors and deformation mode. This cross-disciplinary workshop brings together geophysicists, geologists, geochemists, and modelers to discuss the role of fluids in Cascadia.

Cascadia 325th Anniversary

“Rumblings: Preparing for Cascadia” film screening and panel

This documentary explores the imminent threat of another large Cascadia earthquake and tsunami. Highlighting Oregon’s extensive preparations, the film delves into state and local efforts, as well as the proactive measures taken by individuals and families.
