Presenter: Dr. Saeed Mohanna (UC Berkeley) Accurate modeling of seafloor deformation associated with tsunamis is essential for a robust warning system and to understand the secondary hazards posed by earthquakes. The adjoint-state method for tsunami source imaging addresses the speed-accuracy trade-off in tsunami warning systems without assuming the earthquake’s fault geometry. In this webinar, I will … Continued

Bringing the near-surface geophysics community together to shape future science support and collaboration.

Presenter: Dr. Cassie Hanagan (USGS Earthquake Science Center) On June 24th, 2026 magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes struck northern Venezuela along the right-lateral Boconó and San Sebastián faults. Intense shaking and damage >200 km to the east of the epicentral region and preliminary subsurface slip models indicate 70% of the ~215-km-long rupture went offshore, complicating initial estimates of fault slip … Continued

Cloud Foundations for GeoLab is an asynchronous introductory course designed to help learners get started working productively in EarthScope’s GeoLab cloud computing environment.

Great Earth Science resources are rare. Southern California earthquakes aren’t. This summer, let’s close that gap! Sponsored by: the National Science Foundation National Geophysical Facility (NSF NGF) operated by EarthScope. If you teach Earth science, you already know: finding high-quality, classroom-ready materials takes real effort. EarthScope Consortium has spent years building a collection of FREE geoscience … Continued

This course provides a study of high-precision multi-GNSS precise point positioning (PPP) using the latest version of the open-source software PRIDE PPP-AR. The course covers PPP fundamentals and techniques for undifferenced ambiguity resolution, as well as hands-on experience with the PRIDE PPP-AR software.

This course is designed to introduce learners to modern GMT (Generic Mapping Tools) through command-line scripting, with a practical focus on geophysical applications in seismology and geodesy. Students will learn to work directly in the terminal, using GMT to process, analyze, and visualize real-world geoscience data.This course is ideal for students and researchers seeking to strengthen both their technical GMT skills and their geophysical interpretation abilities.

The Seismology Skill Building Workshop is a FREE ~70 hour online course to build scientific computing and computational thinking skills while working with seismic data. Participants should expect to invest approximately 5-6 hours per week, including participating in the weekly webinar (or watching the recording).  At the end of the workshop participants receive a performance report certificate and a micro-credential. This certificate describes module content, the number of assignments completed, and the average score for each module.

This course covers the theory and application of repeat-pass synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) using the GMTSAR software package. Participants will learn foundational SAR/InSAR concepts and work hands-on to generate interferograms from test datasets and (optionally) construct time series using Sentinel‑1 data.

Facilitated by the EarthScope Consortium, this course is designed to introduce participants to MsPASS, a powerful, modern framework for processing seismology data on desktop, High-Performance Computing (HPC), and cloud systems.
