CLaSH Small Grants Program Now Open – Deadline February 4, 2026
|
|
The Center for Land Surface Hazards is excited to announce that the CLaSH Small Grants Program for 2025–2026 is now accepting proposals!
|
Program Overview: The Small Grants Program provides flexible, seed-level funding to support creative projects that advance land surface hazard cascade research, broaden community participation, and foster cross-cutting science connecting observations, modeling, and societal relevance.
|
- Award Size: $20,000–$40,000 (including indirect costs)
- Anticipated Awards: 5–9 annually
- Project Duration: Up to 12 months
- Projected Start Date: May 1, 2026
- Proposal Deadline: February 4, 2026 (11:59 PM PST)
2025–2026 Priority Areas: This year, we're particularly interested in proposals that couple new data acquisition, process-based modeling, or AI-driven analyses to predict multi-hazard cascades. Priority areas include:
|
- Site-specific investigations at CLaSH Hazard Observatories (Alaska, Appalachia, Puerto Rico, Southern California)
- Modeling of weather-related forcing and phenomena
- Machine learning applications and development of AI-ready datasets of land surface hazards
While prioritizing these areas this year, we welcome all proposals that advance hazard cascade science, along with aligned community engagement and workforce development activities.
|
We look forward to your innovative proposals!

BSSA Call for Papers: Special Issue on Complex Multi-fault Earthquakes
|
|
Deadline for Submission: 1 July 2026
|
|
Recognizing the approaching 10th anniversary of the Kaikoura, New Zealand earthquake, BSSA invites contributions to a special issue on understanding, modeling and forecasting complex multi-fault earthquakes.
|
Complex multi-fault earthquakes pose numerous scientific challenges including their recognition in the paleoseismic record, interpretation and modeling of slip transfer processes, understanding the source dynamics that lead to such cascading earthquake ruptures, estimating ground motions, and developing seismic hazard models for spatially extensive fault networks.
|
BSSA invites special issue contributions that address the diversity of seismotectonic problems posed by complex multi-fault earthquakes, including field-based, computational, forecasting and hazard studies. Multidisciplinary contributions and those addressing secondary hazard processes such as landslides and tsunamis are particularly welcome.
|
|
Deadline for Submission: 1 July 2026
|
Articles accepted to this BSSA Special Issue will be published online soon after acceptance and collectively in print in the April 2027 issue. Papers will be reviewed as they are received and published online prior to the print issue.

[SZ4D] Apply Now! SZNet 2026 Cascadia Pilot Project
|
SZNet 2026 Cascadia Pilot Project - Apply Now!
July 20-29, 2026 - Mount Hood, Oregon
Application Deadline: March 15, 2026
SZ4D is excited to announce that it is accepting applications for its first interdisciplinary pilot project that will take place in July 2026 in Oregon, USA. This field trip will investigate interacting hazards on Mount Hood, a ‘Very High Threat’ volcano in the Cascades arc, applying traditional field techniques, aerial drone surveys, and geophysics to collect new data and discuss outstanding science questions. Participant travel, food, and lodging will be provided by SZNet. We are now accepting applications to participate through March 15th, 2026.
|
This field trip is open to both US and non-US scientists at any career stage interested in cross-disciplinary approaches to researching subduction systems. We are looking for applicants interested in forming international collaborations, whose career goals align with the goals of this trip, and who are excited about contributing to research involving data collection and analysis (including after the trip is over). We seek a group of scientists with broad-ranging perspectives that includes international participants to ideally initiate new collaborations on researching subduction zone geohazards.
Please visit the program webpage for more information about the program, field sites, and funding support. We encourage you to apply!
With any questions, please reach out at contact@sz4d.or.
