Please note that registration closes on October 1st! (Registration link below)

In the last few years, there have been many scientific advances related to earthquakes in the Pacific Northwest, making some reflection and discussion of paths forward timely. Toward that end, the USGS PNW Earthquake Hazards Project and the University of Washington invite you to attend a series of events November 4-6, 2019 in Seattle:

Monday, Nov. 4, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm PT - Future Strategies for the Cascadia 3-D Velocity Model (max. 25 participants - FULL)
Tuesday, Nov. 5, 9:00 am - 6:00 pm PT - PNW Earthquake Science Workshop (max. 200 participants; tentative program below)
Wednesday, Nov. 6, 9:00 am - 12:00 pm PT - PNW Post-earthquake Planning Discussion (max. 35 participants)
Wednesday, Nov. 6, 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm PT - A Public Forum on PNW Earthquakes (max. 300 participants)

All events are free and except for the Public Forum, will be held on the UW's campus, and require registration. The Public Forum will be at the Town Hall Seattle (downtown) and no registration is required. To register for any or all of the events, please fill out the registration form (https://forms.gle/WJiGiTvDd3TYf3ro9) before October 1st; participation approvals will be granted in the order of registration receipt. If you feel it is crucial to attend but cannot do so because of lack of funds, please let us know by replying to this email with an explanation, noting that the availability of USGS support is extremely limited and that preference for funding will be given to students and early career scientists.

Questions or comments may be addressed to Erin Wirth (ewirth<at>usgs.gov) or Joan Gomberg (gomberg<at>usgs.gov). Please pass this announcement along to others you think may be interested.

Hope to see you in November!
