Inaugural CLaSH Meeting: Interest form
Yanites, Brian
Hello everyone,
The NSF-funded Center for Land Surface Hazards will host its first Annual Meeting on September 24–25 (Thursday and Friday) in Boulder, Colorado. We are currently developing the agenda and finalizing meeting logistics, but we wanted to reach out now to share the meeting dates and encourage you to fill out the attached form if you are interested in attending.
The meeting will bring together researchers, students, practitioners, agency partners, and other community members working on topics related to cascading and land surface hazards. We aim to bring together 150–200 participants. Limited travel support will be available, with priority given to early-career participants.
Preregistration will help us gauge interest and plan meeting logistics, so please fill out the form if you are interested in attending (there is a question to gauge your level of interest; nothing is binding). Preregister by June 5th, 2026 here:

-
Increase collaboration among participants working on cascading and land surface hazards.
-
Solicit community feedback on CLaSH.
-

There will also be a pre-meeting workshop on Wednesday, September 23, hosted by OpenTopography on Topographic Differencing. More details to come.
We hope you will join us in Boulder this September and look forward to sharing more details, including meeting registration, soon.
