Working together to advance subduction zone science within SZ4D and the USGS

OnSunday, December 10, 2023, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Subduction Zones in Four Dimensions (SZ4D) co-hosted a workshop titled “Working Together to Advance Subduction Zone Science within SZ4D and the USGS”. The workshop attracted ~80 participants, with ~11 attendees from the USGS and ~17 participants from outside the United States Organizations represented included the Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center (CRESCENT), the Cascadia Coastlines and Peoples (CoPes) Hub, and the Community Network for Volcanic Eruption Response (CONVERSE). Goals for this workshop included:

○ Discuss ideas and potential topics for SZ4D-USGS collaborations

○ Identify mechanisms and opportunities for potential collaboration

○ Identify barriers to collaboration (with possible solutions)

○ Compile topics addressed in the workshop and provide this information to SZ4D and USGS Leadership and the broader SZ4D and USGS Communities for their use.
