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 ...

Persistent elastic behavior above a megathrust rupture patch: Nias island, West Sumatra [PDF]

, 2008
We quantify fore-arc deformation using fossil reefs to test the assumption commonly made in seismic cycle models that anelastic deformation of the fore arc is negligible.

Exposure and response of satellite-tagged Blainville’s beaked whales to mid-frequency active sonar off Kaua‘i, Hawai‘i

Movement Ecology
Background Beaked whale response to Navy sonars is a global concern due to past stranding events coinciding with training activity. Often, controlled exposure experiments involve tagging cetaceans with short-term, high-resolution tags and exposing them ...

False killer whales and fisheries in Hawaiian waters: evidence from mouthline and dorsal fin injuries reveal ongoing and repeated interactions

Endangered Species Research
Monitoring bycatch in fisheries is essential for effective conservation and fisheries sustainability. False killer whales Pseudorca crassidens in Hawaiian waters are known to interact with both commercial and recreational fisheries, but limited observer ...

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 ...

Cascadia Tsunami Deposit Database [PDF]

Open-File Report, 2003
The Cascadia Tsunami Deposit Database contains data on the location and sedimentological properties of tsunami deposits found along the Cascadia margin. Data have been compiled from 52 studies, documenting 59 sites from northern California to Vancouver Island, British Columbia that contain known or potential tsunami deposits.

Beaver dam analogues increase amphibian breeding occupancy and bat activity

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Beavers are ecosystem engineers that can create ponds, increase stream complexity, and enhance biodiversity. To mimic these and other effects, restoration practitioners increasingly install beaver dam analogues (BDAs) in degraded streams.

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 ...

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.
