Save the Dates – CRESCENT DET Topical Workshop | May 28 & 29, 2026 in Eugene, OR

[Jill Elizabeth]

Hello all,

 

Please save the dates for the upcoming DET Topical Workshop on May 28 & 29, 2026.  "At the Shallow Frontier: Faulting, Deformation, and Tsunamigenesis in Cascadia" will be held at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon.

 

This interdisciplinary workshop aims to integrate experimental, field, and modeling results on shallow faulting, deformation, and tsunamigenesis for the Cascadia Subduction Zone.  We welcome interdisciplinary participants interested in tsunami generation and shallow frictional fault properties, seismic and aseismic slip, fluids, splay faulting, off-fault deformation and subduction zone structure.  We welcome contributions focusing on methodological advances using acoustic laboratory studies, geophysical imaging, paleoseismology, seafloor geodesy and remote sensing, tsunami source characterization and inversion, community modeling benchmarks, and offshore distributed acoustic sensing (DAS). 

 

A key outcome of the workshop will be a community white paper outlining priorities for future research needed to capture the full complexity of shallow rupture, deformation processes, and tsunami generation to improve tsunami hazard assessments for Cascadia. 

 

Please visit our website for updates.  Registration will open soon!

 

Sincerely,

 

The DET Topical Workshop Planning Committee
