Shubharoop Ghosh attended At the Shallow Frontier: Faulting, Deformation, and Tsunamigenesis in Cascadia, May 28-29, 2026, at the Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center, University of Oregon, Eugene. The interdisciplinary workshop was held for presentations and discussion of the of geologic, seismic, and modeling advances being made and the implications for hazards, and operational implementation for long-term hazard assessment and early warning. The workshop and activities covered a swath of tsunami-related topics, such as advancing understanding of Cascadia tsunami generation; integration of multi-disciplinary data and modeling; improving physics-based tsunami modeling; reducing uncertainty in hazard assessments; and developing a community roadmap for future research 5-10 years. A Poster Session and Lightning Talks were held, as well as a white paper writing session and a meeting for the Tsunami Sources for Hazard Assessment (TSHA) Special Interest Group. Lastly, a community white paper is being created from the workshop, outlining priorities for future research needed to capture the full complexity of shallow rupture, deformation processes, and tsunami generation to improve tsunami hazard assessments for Cascadia.

Shubharoop Ghosh represented ImageCat at the poster session and lightning talk, exhibiting and discussing TsunamiCAT: A National Tsunami Risk and Loss Estimation Platform for the U.S. West Coast, highlighting work on large-scale tsunami risk analytics and loss modeling for coastal communities.
