The Cascadia Earthscope Earthquake & Tsunami Education Program (CEETEP) is coming to Arcata October 9-12, 2015. The project is partnering with Redwood Coast Tsunami Work Group and Southern California Earthquake Center to run the workshop on the HSU campus.

During this 4-day workshop, participant educators learn hands-on science and preparedness pertaining to earthquakes and tsunami. The project has already run workshops in coastal Washington and Oregon and has been very well reviewed. Participants receive professional development units, a stipend, many teaching resources, and more.

Learn more about the program and APPLY for the October 9-12, 2015 Arcata Workshop at the CEETEP website. Flyer also attached. DEADLINE May 15 but the earlier the better as the workshops do fill up.

Each workshop will include K-12 teachers, park and museum interpreters, and emergency management educators from coastal areas.  Through a problem-solving approach to subduction zone geology, participants will learn how: 1) geoscientists developed our current understanding of Pacific Northwest plate tectonics, earthquakes, and tsunamis; 2) EarthScope is advancing knowledge about the active Earth in Washington, Oregon, and California; and 3) collaboration on education, interpretation, and preparedness makes coastal communities more resilient to earthquake and tsunami hazards.  Three days of classroom and interpretive activities on Pacific Northwest geology and EarthScope science will be complemented by a field day investigating Cascadia earthquakes and tsunamis, and visits to seismic and GPS installations.
