Apply to attend CRESCENT Offshore Observations Topical Workshop – October 27, 2025

[Jill Elizabeth]

Dear all,

 

We hope this email finds you well.

 

The NSF-funded Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center (CRESCENT) is organizing the Offshore Observations Topical Workshop, taking place in Seattle, Washington on Monday, October 27, 2025. These workshops are meant to be gatherings of experts to discuss specific topics of interest to CRESCENT’s science goals. This one-day meeting will directly precede the CRESCENT Annual Meeting, also in Seattle, from October 28-29.

 

In an effort to coordinate future offshore science in Cascadia, we are designing the Offshore Observations workshop to bring together geoscientists across a variety of disciplines that use offshore datasets to study subduction zones. The workshop will comprise a series of short talk sessions followed by breakout groups. Session topics include fluid pathways and hydrology of subduction zones, constraints on megathrust locking state and shallow slow slip, accretionary wedge deformation, structure of the incoming plate, and future plans for ocean drilling, fiber-optic sensing, and cabled infrastructure.

 

If you are interested, please reply to this email and fill out this application form. We appreciate having your response as soon as possible, or by Friday, July 11, to facilitate meeting planning. Please reach out to us if you have any questions.

 

Thank you very much, we look forward to hearing from you!
