**2026 Crustal Deformation Modeling Workshop**  
**June 8-12, 2026, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO**

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN

The focus of this gathering will be computational models addressing crustal deformation in the following areas:

- Constraining long-term fault slip rates and their uncertainties using geodetic and geologic data;
- Bayesian inversion of geodetic data for fault slip; and
- Interaction of fluids and faulting.

The workshop will be held June 8-12, 2026, in Golden, Colorado on the campus of the Colorado School of Mines. The first two days of the workshop will be tutorials related to [PyLith](https://geodynamics.org/resources/pylith) (an open-source, community code for modeling crustal deformation with a focus on earthquake faulting; all software tools used in the tutorials is free and open-source) followed by three days of science talks, discussions, and informal tutorials and collaboration.

We will provide reimbursement for a portion of the travel costs incurred for registered attendees with official appointments at U.S. institutions. To attend the workshop, please read through all [event details](https://geodynamics.org/events/details/372/) before registering.

See the Workshop [web](https://geodynamics.org/events/details/372/) page for registration link and draft [agenda](https://geodynamics.org/events/details/372/agenda).
