The 2024 NSF SAGE/GAGE workshop unites researchers, faculty, and students, focusing on geophysical exploration across various realms: the solid earth, cryosphere, oceans, atmosphere, and beyond. Specifically, the workshop acts as a stage to display the myriad scientific endeavors facilitated by the NSF GAGE & SAGE facilities. It accentuates the collaborative efforts between the geodetic and seismic research sectors in advancing our comprehension of Earth Science and its societal ramifications. Additionally, it offers a platform to absorb state-of-the-art research, interact with fellow community members, and enhance technical proficiencies. This year’s workshop theme is “Empowering Geophysics Around the Globe: Science, Education, and Societal Resilience.”
The workshop is sponsored by the the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and US Geological Survey (USGS). The NSF Geodetic Facility for the Advancement of Geoscience (GAGE) and the NSF Seismological Facility for the Advancement of Geoscience (SAGE) are operated by EarthScope Consortium, through cooperative agreements with NSF. EarthScope Consortium was formed through a merger of IRIS and UNAVCO.
Format
The workshop will be fully virtual and will be held over three days (June 25-26-27, 2024). We will not be hosting a virtual poster session this year, instead workshop attendees will be invited to share their science with the community via “one-pager” summaries that may be uploaded on our virtual meeting platform.
EarthScope will be hosting the 2024 NSF SAGE/GAGE workshop on the Whova virtual meeting platform. All attendees will have a Whova account created automatically when they register. Whova will facilitate access to plenary sessions, short courses, special interest group (SIG) discussions, as well as attendee-submitted one-pager science summaries.
Pre-workshop short courses will be hosted virtually on June 18 & 20, the week prior to the main workshop.
All virtual attendees will be asked to adhere to the EarthScope Code of Conduct.
Workshop Goals
- Facilitate geodetic and seismic scientific research by sharing results and planning future endeavors,
- Foster community among geodetic and seismic researchers, faculty, students, and facility staff, and
- Encourage learning and collaboration by providing a venue for breakout discussions and short courses.

Plenary Sessions
Geophysics for Societal Resilience – Tuesday morning
Chairs: Jacob Walter (University of Oklahoma), Susanna Werth (Virginia Tech)
This plenary session explores the intersection of geophysics and societal well-being. It covers critical scientific topics for enhancing community resilience, including geodetic and seismic aspects of climate research. Additional topics include natural hazards such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and landslides, emphasizing geophysics’ role in understanding and mitigating their effects. Environmental seismology is highlighted for assessing environmental changes and risks, while advancements in Earthquake Early Warning systems demonstrate technology’s role in timely alerts.
- Climate- and Weather-Driven Solid-Earth Deformation and Seismicity – Roland Bürgmann (University of California, Berkeley)
- Measuring drought impacts using GNSS, InSAR, and GRACE – Grace Carlson (University of California, Berkeley)
- Geophysics requires geophysicists: Strategies for supporting students’ awareness of and preparation for the geoworkforce – Karen Viskupic (Boise State University)
- New Earth and Planetary Science Discoveries Enabled by the Optical Fiber Sensing Revolution – Bradley Lipovsky (University of Washington)
Frontiers in Tectonics and Geodynamics – Tuesday afternoon
Chairs: Aubreya Adams (Colgate University), Donald Argus (NASA-JPL)
This plenary session delves into the latest advances in our understanding of tectonics and geodynamics, exploring a broad range of topics from deep earthquakes to surface processes. It highlights syntheses of results from multidisciplinary programs enhancing our understanding of plate tectonics. Shore-crossing studies and studies of links between the surface and deep Earth offer a dynamic perspective on tectonic processes. This session also covers plate rigidity and deformation which contributes to a better understanding of Earth’s lithosphere.
- Observations of surface fault deformation from high-resolution optical image correlation: case of the 2021 Mw7.4 Maduo, Tibet, earthquake – Solene Antoine (NASA-JPL)

Geophysics in Extreme Environments – Wednesday morning
Chairs: Marianne Karplus (University of Texas at El Paso), William Wilcock (University of Washington)
This plenary session explores cutting-edge geophysics research in challenging settings such as: extreme cold regions, the seafloor, and volcanic environments. Geophysical studies in these regions provide unique insights into dynamic Earth processes. The session highlights results from interdisciplinary collaborations, advancing our understanding of Earth’s dynamic systems in extreme conditions.

New Science, Technologies, and Innovations – Thursday afternoon
Chairs: Mong-han Huang (University of Maryland), Shujuan Mao (University of Texas)
This plenary session explores cutting-edge geophysics and emerging technologies that serve to revolutionize geophysical research and applications. It highlights recent advances in seismology and geodesy, including: InSAR advancements aligned with the NiSAR mission, Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), the transformative possibilities enabled by cloud computing, and the integration of machine learning and AI for enhanced data analysis.
- Ocean coupling limits the rupture velocity of the fastest observed ice shelf rift propagation event – Stephanie Olinger (Stanford University)

- Integrating InSAR and Ground-based Geophysical Data to Inform Groundwater Management – Ryan Smith (Colorado State University)
Special Interest Group (SIG) discussions are 120-minute breakout sessions held during the workshop. SIGs provide an opportunity for discussions within the geophysics community and feedback to the facilities on a range of topics. SIGs have typically been hosted and run by community members and/or facility staff, and the goal is to have SIGs serve largely as a forum for discussion rather than just a presentation platform.
