ForALL Preview at the University of Michigan
|
Interested in graduate school? The University of Michigan Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences invites juniors, seniors, recently graduated or current Master’s students to apply for our ForAll Preview Event on November 6th, 2026 from 10am - 12pm EST.
|
During the two-hour online event on Zoom, you will meet faculty and current graduate students in our department. Additionally, you will learn about:
|
- Graduate education and life as a graduate student.
- How to prepare an application and how the admissions process works.
- Opportunities for graduate studies in EARTH with diverse educational backgrounds.
You can apply for ForALL Preview online (application form linked here). Applications submitted by Monday, November 2nd will be given priority (for receiving additional information in advance), and the deadline to apply is Thursday, November 5th. If you have any questions about ForALL Preview, please reach out to michigan-earth@umich.edu.

Cascadia Lifelines Webinar this week: 10/22 1pm PT
|
In this week’s CLiP webinar (Thursday, 10/22 | 1 p.m. PT), Dr. Peggy Hellweg presents “Revisiting an Enigma on California’s North Coast”, exploring the seismically complex Mendocino Triple Junction and whether the 1954 Mw 6.5 Fickle Hill earthquake may be an exception to the lack of large historic earthquakes associated with mapped surface faults in the Cascadia Subduction Zone fold-and-thrust belt.

Open graduate positions in Cascadia Arc Seismic Imaging at New Mexico Tech and Purdue University
|
|
We invite applications for multiple funded graduate positions in seismic imaging to study volcanic variability along the Cascadia Arc. At least one student will join the Computational Seismology and Tectonics group at Purdue University under the direction of Dr. Jonathan Delph and at least one will join the Seismology group at New Mexico Tech under the direction of Dr. Daniel Portner in a collaborative, cohort-based research project.
|
Target start date: August 2027
|
Application deadline: January 6, 2027 (Purdue) and January 15, 2027 (NMT)

(Job Announcement) Physical Scientist with United States Geological Survey in the Earthquake Science Center for the ShakeAlert Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) system
|
|
Join the Communication, Education, Outreach, and Technical Engagement Team for the ShakeAlert Earthquake Early Warning system in Mountain View, CA or Seattle, WAUnited States Geological Survey, Department of Interior
|
The U.S. Geological Survey Earthquake Science Center is seeking two Physical Scientists to join the ShakeAlert Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) system’s Communication, Education, Outreach, and Technical Engagement Team (CEO&TE) team. The ShakeAlert EEW system is a mission-critical, public safety system that rapidly detects earthquakes and generates ShakeAlert Messages so that USGS-licensed technical partners can develop and deliver alerts to people or trigger automated systems before strong shaking arrives. The ShakeAlert system operates in California, Oregon, and Washington and serves over 50 million people. These positions are located at USGS Earthquake Science Center offices in Mountain View, CA and Seattle, WA and will report to the CEO&TE Coordinator in Pasadena, CA. The USGS CEO&TE team coordinates all ShakeAlert CEO&TE activities and provides real-time communications support in the event of an earthquake or other event involving ShakeAlert EEW. Applicants who have experience in public engagement programs, classroom teaching, specifically in a STEM learning environment such as a school, museum, or park visitor center are encouraged to apply. Participation in 24/7 on-call duty response rotations is required. On call for 7 days at a time, including nights and weekends.
|
Appointments are Permanent, Full-Time.
|
One position is based in Mountain View, CA and the other in Seattle, WA. Limited telework may be available after a probationary period and determined by agency policy. This is not a remote job.
|
Salary Range: $100,602 - $145,468 per year
|
First time hires to the Federal Government are typically hired at the lower end of this range.
|
U.S. Citizenship is required.
|
|
Valid driver license is required.
|
Search for announcement number: USGS-27-DHA-130790740-MM
|
Closing date is November 2, 2026, or when 75 applications are received, whichever comes first.

AGU Workshop on FEM in Geophysics and Geoscience
|
If you or your collaborators are interested in learning more about using the finite element method (FEM) to simulate geophysical and geological processes, please consider attending our AGU Workshop: “Finite Element Method Modeling of Geophysical Processes for Earth and Planetary Science.” This workshop will cover FEM basics, the breadth of geophysical processes that can be simulated with the method, and the various software and extensions one may wish to use to construct their own simulations. All skill levels welcome, coffee will be provided.
|
This workshop will be held on Sunday, 6 December at the Moscone Center, room 208 from 1:00 PM to 4:30 PM PST. Register for the workshop on the same AGU portal to register for the main conference.
