AGU 2026 Session: Earthquake Processes and Hazards in the Cascadia Subduction Zone
Shannon Fasola
Dear colleagues,
We invite submissions to the AGU 2026 session:
S008: Earthquake Processes and Hazards in the Cascadia Subduction Zone
Collaborative: Seismology, Tectonophysics
The Cascadia Subduction Zone hosts a wide range of deformation processes and hazards, from slow slip and tremor to megathrust and crustal earthquakes, volcanic unrest, and cascading hazards. This session welcomes contributions that advance understanding of Cascadia across spatial and temporal scales, including observational, computational, experimental, interdisciplinary, and community-engaged research.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
-
Earthquake and fault-zone processes
-
Slow slip, tremor, and deformation
-
Volcanic and magmatic systems
-
Hazard characterization and forecasting
-
Novel datasets and methods (e.g., DAS, geologic datasets, machine learning)
-
Physics-based simulations and computational advances
-
Cascading hazards and community resilience
-
Equity, workforce development, and community-centered approaches
Abstract submission deadline: August 5, 2026.
We encourage researchers, students, postdoctoral scholars, and practitioners from across the Cascadia community to submit their latest work. The session viewer and abstract submission system is now open and abstract guidelines are now available to view.
Conveners: Valerie Sahakian, Tim Melbourne, Joan Gomberg, and Shannon Fasola
