ABOUT UC SANTA CRUZ

UC Santa Cruz is a public university like no other in California, combining the experience of a small, liberal arts college with the depth and rigor of a major research university. It's known as an unconventional place where innovation and experimentation is part of the campus's DNA. That playful, bold spirit still thrives today, all on a campus renowned as among the most beautiful in the world.

DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW

SZ4D, or Subduction Zones in four Dimensions, is a community-driven initiative for a long-term, interdisciplinary research program to understand the limits and possibilities of predicting subduction zone geohazards (www.sz4d.org). SZ4D is hosted by the Earth & Planetary Sciences program at UC Santa Cruz. The group works together to create the multifaceted infrastructure and other resources needed to enable new discoveries. SZ4D brings together a diverse community of US-based and international scientists from a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds who study earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and surface processes. Significant investments in subduction zone geohazards are ongoing, and active networks across the globe are currently pursuing science agendas complementary to SZ4D. SZNet will develop coordination between activities to ensure that the maximum science is obtained from these efforts. SZNet combines 14 networks across 5 continents with a particular emphasis on improving observations in Chile, which hosts one of the world's most geologically active and accessible subduction zones.
