“Reading the Earthquake Record: A Field Course in Paleoseismology” 

Aug 30-Sept 5, 2026 

Coos County, OR 

The Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center (CRESCENT) is offering a five-day field-based technical short course that will expose participants to paleoearthquake studies and their application to understanding fault behavior in space and time. The course is led by members of the Cascadia Paleoseismology (CPAL) and Community Fault Model (CFM) working groups. Travel, lodging, and meals will be provided. 

Topics to be integrated include principles of subsidence stratigraphy, ecology-based paleoseismic studies, tsunami deposit mapping, trench-based active fault paleoseismology, high resolution lidar topography, and surficial geologic mapping.  

This course is for graduate students, postdocs, and early career professionals involved in or conducting earthquake research who have specific research or application needs for using or collecting paleoseismic data. We encourage applicants from all geoscience fields and backgrounds, including field and lab-based investigators and numerical modelers, to apply. 

Eligibility: 

• Applicants are currently based at a U.S. institution.
• International students who are based at a U.S. institution are welcome to apply.
• Due to proximity, exceptions are granted for applicants traveling from Canada.
• Ability to explain how this course aligns with your current research or technical goals. Early career professionals do not have to be from an academic institution.
