DATES: July 20 - 29, 2026. 

​

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 

​

WHO SHOULD APPLY: Open to both US and non-US scientists at any career stage interested in cross-disciplinary approaches to researching subduction systems. We encourage applicants from broad scientific backgrounds with interdisciplinary interests - all participants will be given opportunities to share their work and interests.  Scientific conversations will be conducted primarily in English, so some english proficiency is necessary.

​

HOW TO APPLY: The application portal will be available starting in early January and will remain open through March 15th. The application portal will prompt applicants to discuss their scientific interests, their interest in the field trip area, and their career goals and require applicants to upload a response to an essay prompt. The form will also require applicants to upload a CV (in a .pdf format).
Applicants can review the application questions here.

​

​LODGING AND FOOD: Participants will be staying in hostel and hotel style housing, in double occupancy rooms. Meals will be provided, including a cold lunch for field days. All meal and accommodation bookings are made by SZNet.

​

FUNDING: Funding for participant travel, food, lodging, and field supplies will be available through SZNet which is supported by funding from the National Science Foundation AccelNet program under award 2301732.
