SZNet Pilot Projects
Interdisciplinary and international field opportunities​​
​
USA and Chile
OBJECTIVES
To develop a cross- trained, international community of scientists while exploroing the effectiveness of planned instrumentation to resolve the questions being posed in the larger SZ4D program.
Description
​WHAT: Two 10-day long pilot studies, one in Cascadia during the U.S. summer of 2026 and the second in Chile in the austral Summer of 2027. These pilot project will feature a field and classroom component, aimed at collecting, compiling and/or processing data through an interdisciplinary lens to answer pressing subduction zone geohazard research questions. Participants will be both US and non-US scientists at a variety of career stages interested in cross-disciplinary approaches to researching subduction systems. Participants will be selected through open application processes. 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 projects will aim to inform future activities such as the planned MultiHazard Array
​
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.

Project Timeline
Field Trip Oversight Subcommittee
The field trip oversight committee works with the leadership team of each pilot project to ensure that each project is aligned with SZNet's goals. This subcommittee is notably involved in the creation of the application and the review of all submission.
