No evidence for an active margin-spanning megasplay fault at the Cascadia Subduction Zone

Seismica
It has been previously proposed that a megasplay fault within the Cascadia accretionary wedge, spanning from offshore Vancouver Island to Oregon, has the potential to slip during a future Cascadia subduction zone earthquake.

Are great Cascadia earthquakes recorded in the sedimentary records from small forearc lakes? [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013
Here we investigate sedimentary records from four small inland lakes located in the southern Cascadia forearc region for evidence of earthquakes. Three of these lakes are in the Klamath Mountains near the Oregon–California border, and one is in the ...

Toward Models of Impact and Recovery of the US Western Grid from Earthquake Events

Energies, 2022
A Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) earthquake will cause widespread damage to numerous lifelines and infrastructure along the northern US west coast. The goal of the presented research is to provide a bottom up estimate of the impact on and subsequent ...

Building a Continental‐Scale Geodetic Network: The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO)

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) transformed the use of geodesy in North America to study crustal deformation and plate boundary processes by establishing a continental‐scale, standardized, open‐access geodetic network. Built and operated by UNAVCO between 2003 and 2018 as part of the National Science Foundation (NSF)‐funded EarthScope ...

Fidelity to natal social groups and mating within and between social groups in an endangered false killer whale population

Endangered Species Research, 2019
Most mammals exhibit natal dispersal of one or both sexes, a behavior that likely evolved in part to reduce the chances of breeding with close relatives.

State of Stress in Subduction Zone Forearcs: Influence of the Mantle Wedge Corner and Serpentinization

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract We investigate the role of the elasticity and density of the forearc mantle wedge corner on the stress distribution in the forearc region of subduction zones, using numerical quasi‐2D lithospheric deformation models for the Cascadia, Nankai, NE Japan, and Costa Rica subduction zones. We incorporate the forearc mantle wedge corner as an elastic

Identifying social clusters of endangered main Hawaiian Islands false killer whales

Endangered Species Research, 2023
The presence of distinct social groups within an animal population can result in heterogeneity in many aspects of its life history and ecology. The ability to accurately assess social group membership increases with the number of times individuals are ...
