SZNet 2026 Cascadia Pilot Project
Cascading Hazards at Mount Hood:
Volcanic Eruptions, Crustal Faults, and Sediment Dynamics
​​
​
Oregon, USA
OBJECTIVES
To help advance our understanding of subduction geohazards through an interdisciplinary lens
Description
DATES: Boreal Summer 2026. The exact dates to be announced.
​
WHAT: A week-long, interdisciplinary field trip investigating volcanic eruptions, crustal faults, and sediment dynamics near Mount Hood, Oregon. This pilot project will bing together both US and non-US scientists at a variety of career stage interested in cross-disciplinary approaches to researching subduction system. Participants will be selected through an application process taking place in Spring 2026. Please keep an eye out here for updates.
​
GOALS: The SZNet pilot projects aim to developing a cross- trained, international community of scientists and advance our understanding of subduction geohazards through week-long long pilot studies in Cascadia and Chile. These pilots include a field and classroom components, aimed at collecting, compiling and/or processing data through an interdisciplinary lens to answer pressing subduction zone geohazard research questions. These projects will aim to inform future activities such as the planned MultiHazard Array
​
FUNDING: Funding for participant travel, food, lodging, and field supplies wi available through SZNet which is supported by funding from the National Science Foundation AccelNet program under award 2301732.
