The USGS Earthquake Hazards Program annual Northern California Workshop is FREE and open to anyone interested in better defining earthquake hazards and risk in Northern California.

Registration

Do you want to present a short talk (either a general short talk or a late-breaking 2024 M7.0 Cape Mendocino talk)?

In lieu of posters this year, we invite attendees to present short talks (5 minutes or less) highlighting progress related to Northern California earthquake hazards.

Note: for those already invited to present longer plenary talks, please answer “No” unless you wish to give an additional short talk on a different topic.

Please provide the title of your presentation.
