CLaSH Graduate Summer Field School in Natural Hazards - Apply today!
Marin Clark
Calling all graduate students! The 2026 CLaSH Graduate Summer Field School is now accepting applications!
Are you interested in studying land surface hazards like landslides and post-fire debris flows? And understanding how these processes relate to triggers like earthquakes and storms?
Does the study of extreme events to serve societal needs and advance understanding of how geomorphic systems work appeal to you?
Would training on cutting-edge technology to measure land surface change following disasters advance your graduate education?
If these questions speak to you, check out our graduate summer field school in natural hazards sponsored by the Center for Land Surface Hazards (CLaSH). It’s an NSF-supported opportunity to advance your skills, knowledge and connections to other researchers with an intensive, hands-on training experience in Colorado this summer. Better yet, it is an action-packed, six-day experience designed to fit into busy graduate student schedules. Your advisor is sure to say YES!
Dates/ Location: July 27 - Aug 1, 2026, Colorado State University Mountain Campus, CO
