Workshops
CEETEP is held two full workshops and one Share-a-thon per year over the three years of the project (academic years 2013-14, 2014-15, and 2015-16).
CEETEP is also working to partner with other organizations to hold additional workshop as funding permits.
Next up will be a collaboration with the newly started EarthScope ANGLE project (Alaska Native Geoscience Learning Experience).
Upcoming Events
Stay tuned - they will be announced here as they are funded.

Field Trip:
The field trip day started with an exploration of buried tsunami sand and intertidal marsh soil layers from the last great earthquake and tsunami in January of 1700. The group traveled by boat to the south bank of the Salmon River near Camp West Wind, led by Brian Atwater of the U. S. Geological Survey, one of the first researchers to document and interpret evidence for Great Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquakes. They then visited Beverly Beach State Park to learn about how the 1964 Great Alaska earthquake and tsunami impacted this area. The GPS station located at the Newport Airport provided an opportunity to learn how EarthScope instrumentation continuously measures and transmits data on plate-tectonic movements. A tsunami evacuation walk to “Evacuation Hill” at the south end of the Yaquina Bay Bridge brought home the very real dangers and need for preparation by visitors and residents on the Oregon Coast. The field trip ended with a tour of earthquake and tsunami exhibits at the Hatfield Marine Science Visitor Center.
Action Teams:
Participants were organized into Action Teams with a mix of teachers, interpreters, and emergency management educators from coastal communities. On the final day, each team presented an interpretive skit incorporating CEETEP science and preparedness. They also began plans for group projects later presented at the March 2014 Share-a-Thon

Field Trip:
The field trip day began with a visit to the GPS station located at the Tongue Point Naval Station, where participants learned how EarthScope instrumentation continuously measures and transmits data on plate-tectonic movements. On the beach boardwalk in Long Beach, Washington, Pat Corcoran led discussions about how low-lying coastal communities face challenges from the dangers of earthquakes and tsunamis. In Ilwaco, the group did a tsunami evacuation walk to high ground next to the high school, discovering firsthand the very real evacuation challenges for visitors and residents. The group then traveled up the east side of Willapa Bay to explore the north bank of the Niawiakum River, led by Brian Atwater of the U. S. Geological Survey, one of the first researchers to document and interpret evidence for Great Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquakes. Participants observed tsunami geology in the riverbank and took cores of tsunami sand sheets and intertidal marsh layers buried during the last great earthquake and tsunami in January of 1700.

Field Trip:
The field trip day began with a visit to the Elk River Estuary to explore tsunami geology with Brian Atwater of the U. S. Geological Survey -- one of the first researchers to document and interpret evidence for Great Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquakes. Participants observed tsunami geology in the riverbank and took cores of tsunami sand sheets and intertidal marsh layers buried during the last great earthquake and tsunami in January of 1700. Next the group visited the Ocosta Elementary School to learn about the ongoing plans to include a tsunami vertical evacuation structure into the new elementary school, set to start being built in 2015. This will be the first such structure in North America. At Grayland Beach the group discussed challenges and opportunities in teaching about geohazards in beloved outdoor places. Then Washington State Tsunami Program Coordinator, Brynne Walker, led the group on a tsunami evacuation drill to the nearest safe area - nearly one mile away. The last visit was to the GPS station at the Stafford Creek Correctional Center, where participants learned how EarthScope instrumentation continuously measures and transmits data on plate-tectonic movements.

Field Trip:
The field trip day began with a visit to the Waatch Prairie Estuary to explore tsunami geology with Brian Atwater of the U. S. Geological Survey -- one of the first researchers to document and interpret evidence for Great Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquakes. Participants observed tsunami geology in the riverbank that shows evidence of land level changes during the last great earthquake and tsunami in January of 1700. Next Makah Nation Emergency Management Coordinator, Andrew Wincke, and the Washington State Tsunami Program Coordinator, Brynne Walker, led the group on a tsunami evacuation drill to the nearest safe area. There participants were able to visit one of the Makah Tribe Incident Command Posts and Emergency Supply Facility. During lunch and the early afternoon participants visited the Makah Cultural and Research Center to hear talks by Paul Gleeson and Nancee Hunter on the topic of teaching and interpreting about geohazards in an empowering way. The last visit was to the GPS station at the Quillayute Airport, where participants learned how EarthScope instrumentation continuously measures and transmits data on plate-tectonic movements.

Field Trip:
The field trip day began with a visit to the South Slough Estuary to explore tsunami geology. Participants observed tsunami geology by coring into the salt marsh and finding sand layers and evidence of land level changes during the last great earthquake and tsunami in January of 1700. Next we visited Shore Acres State Park to discuss the challenges and opportunities from teaching about hazards in an outdoor setting. We also got a chance to look at evidence of plate tectonic action that has tipped the once-flat sedimentary rocks up at an angle. In Bandon participants practiced a tsunami evacuation walk, discussed how to improve community resilience, and toured the outside of an emergency supply cache. The last visit was to GPS and seismic stations at the Bandon Airport, where participants learned how EarthScope instrumentation continuously measures and transmits data on plate-tectonic movements.

Field Trip:
The field trip day began with a visit to the GPS station on the Humboldt State University Campus, where participants learned how EarthScope instrumentation continuously measures and transmits data on plate-tectonic movements. Thereafter the group worked its way up the coast stopping at Redwood National Park, Lagoon Creek, Crescent City, and Battery Point seeing and discussing a variety of topics from tsunami geology to preparedness and education. Arcata Workshop Field Trip Guide
Action Teams:
Participants were organized into Action Teams with a mix of teachers, interpreters, and emergency management educators from coastal communities. On the final day, each team presented on their plans for post-workshop projects which they would present about at the March 2016 Share-a-Thon
Year 3 Share-a-thon - Brookings, OR
CEETEP Year 3 Share-a-thon

Saturday March 5th, 2016
Participants from both the Coos Bay August 2015 and Arcata October 2015 workshops come together to showcase and discuss earthquake and tsunami science and preparedness activities they have been involved in since the workshops.
Unfortunately, this event was cancelled at the last moment due to a severe weather warning. STAY TUNED HERE for an online Share Space where presentations and other resources will be posted.
Format
In order to maximize time discussion time, the program starts with short announcement-style “here’s what we did” presentations followed by time to mingle among the displays and have discussions individually and as a group. Half the teams are “on deck” during the morning and half in the afternoon. The teams are arranged to provide variety, interaction between the two workshop groups, and spread-out the AV needs

PARTNER WORKSHOPS
In addition to the originally-funded three years of workshops and share-a-thons along coastal Cascadia, CEETEP is working to to develop additional partnerships and offer professional development opportunities for more Pacific Northwest educators on topics related to earthquakes and tsunami science and preparedness.
- EarthScope Alaska Native Geoscience Learning Experience (ANGLE)
CEETEP has joined a collaboration with Alaska Pacific University and the Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program (ANSEP) to bring similar workshops to Alaska as were run by CEETEP in the Pacific Northewest. Many of the teaching resources featured in CEETEP have been updated or adapted to the Alaska geologic setting. -

The Pacific Northwest has fascinating active geology and ongoing science research; yet it can be challenging to learn about regional geology and earthquakes well enough to teach them effectively. Our communities face risks from earthquakes that could be greatly reduced through public education. This workshop will help you teach about the tectonics and earthquakes specific to this region, while empowering yourself and students to take positive actions rather than feel fear. Learning via interactive lectures, practicing classroom activities, and peer collaboration.
Through a Puget Sound Energy Foundation grant to Central Washington University Foundation and logistical assistance from the Cascadia Hazards Institute, the Cascadia EarthScope Earthquake and Tsunami Education Program is offering this 1-day professional development workshop for middle-level teachers in the Seattle-Tacoma area.
(Teachers who participated in Teachers on the Leading Edge program: this workshop would be repetitious for you but we encourage you to refer your colleagues)
Participants receive:
- Eight clock hours
- $100 stipend
- Materials for inquiry-based classroom studies of earthquake science and hazard mitigation. (DVDs with Earth science movies, animations and visualizations; resource box with materials for classroom demonstrations and activities; and collection of Pacific Northwest-focused maps and posters).
- Opportunity to apply for school seismometer from the Quake Catcher Network.
