2025 C2C Story
Shaping the Next Generation of Geoscientists

What we're doing, what we've done, and where we're going.
The CRESCENT Seed Grant Program has the dual goals of broadening community participation and increasing the breadth of scientific investigations related to the center’s goals. The center invited the community to participate through a proposal call to address key scientific challenges identified through CRESCENT’s three major pillars. This year we had 33 seed grant applicants of which 11 were funded.

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.

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
