Workshop on the Alaska and Cascadia Seafloor Geodetic Community Experiment

Updated: Dec 12, 2022

Final workshop report is here.

 

This is a workshop for a subduction zone community experiment using instruments from the nascent seafloor geodetic pool. The community experiment is planned to focus on deployment offshore Alaska and Cascadia, managing data collection, and community training. We aim to have a field deployment as soon as summer 2023. Your help at the workshop will be most helpful in guiding the design and logistical planning!


The workshop will be virtual over 3 days between May 2 - 6th, 2022 (Mon., Wed. 12-4 EDT; Fri. 12-2 EDT). There will be limited background information, as participants will be expected to have read through the 2021 workshop report, and ancillary information. Much work will be done during this meeting to decide the ultimate plan for deployment and other activities.

Registration closed.
