2026 Crustal Deformation Modeling Workshop - DEADLINE APRIL 20
|
The 2026 Crustal Deformation Modeling Workshop will focus on computational models addressing crustal deformation in the following areas:
|
- Constraining long-term fault slip rates and their uncertainties using geodetic and geologic data;
- Bayesian inversion of geodetic data for fault slip; and
- Interaction of fluids and faulting.
The workshop will be held June 8-12, 2026, in Golden, Colorado, on the campus of the Colorado School of Mines. The first two days of the workshop will be tutorials related to PyLith (an open-source, community code for modeling crustal deformation with a focus on earthquake faulting; all software tools used in the tutorials are free and open-source), followed by three days of science talks, discussions, and informal tutorials and collaboration.
|
We will provide reimbursement for a portion of the travel costs incurred for registered attendees with official appointments at U.S. institutions. To attend the workshop, please read through all event details before registering.
|
See the Workshop web page for the registration link and draft agenda.

Applications Open: CRESCENT Paleoseismology Technical Short Course
|
Led by members of the Cascadia Paleoseismology (CPAL) and Community Fault Model (CFM) working groups, this five-day field-based technical short course will expose participants to paleoearthquake studies and their application to understanding fault behavior in space and time. 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.
