Join DeeDee Okamoto, Instructional Designer for EarthScope Consortium, as she explores how scientists use high-precision GPS data to study ground deformation along the U.S. West Coast, including the Cascadia Subduction Zone, and engage students with real-world seismic hazard analysis.
This session features lessons connected to the ShakeAlert® Earthquake Early Warning system. Explore how scientists use high-precision GPS data to study ground deformation along the U.S. West Coast, including the Cascadia Subduction Zone, and engage students with real-world seismic hazard analysis. Developed by EarthScope, operator of the NSF GAGE and SAGE facilities, this workshop introduces three structured lessons, each with three flexible activities—a 5–10-minute quick demonstration, a 15-20 minute guided exploration, and a 30-50 minute deep-dive investigation—so you can easily integrate them into your curriculum. Engage your students with FREE classroom-ready resources, and bring earthquake science to life with hands-on, data-rich activities!
