On June 29-30, 2025, UC Santa Barbara will host a field trip and workshop to mark the centennial of the 1925 M6.5 Santa Barbara earthquake. The goal is to bring together researchers from different disciplines of earthquake science to discuss results on this and subsequent events, and to assess the earthquake and tsunami hazards in this densely populated area. In 2012, SCEC established the Ventura Special Fault Study Area (SFSA) to promote interdisciplinary research on the potential for large, damaging earthquakes in this region. This centennial provides a unique and timely opportunity to re-evaluate and integrate new data, observations, and models related to this significant historical and later events, and the associated hazard potential from the active fault systems responsible for this seismicity.

On June 30, we will host an in-person workshop to explore key science questions, preceded by a half-day field trip on June 29, the earthquake’s centennial anniversary. Researchers from earthquake geology, seismology, geodesy, numerical modeling, and working on the active fault and fold systems in the area are invited to apply. Limited travel support is available, and in-person participation is capped at 35 people. Applicants not accepted will receive a link to watch the workshop presentations online.

Event Organizers: Chen Ji (UCSB), Craig Nicholson (UCSB) and Tom Rockwell (SDSU)
