GPS studies of crustal deformation in the northern Cascadia subduction zone [PDF]

, 2018
Vancouver Island, located in southwestern coastal British Columbia, overlies the northern portion of the Cascadia Subduction Zone. This region is characterized by extensive seismicity which includes M ∼ 7 crustal earthquakes and less frequent M ∼ 9 ...

Cascadia Rising: Cascadia Subduction Zone Catastrophic Earthquake and Tsunami Functional Excercise Scenario Document [PDF]

, 2015
A large magnitude Cascadia Subduction Zone fault earthquake and tsunami is perhaps one of the most complex disaster scenarios that we face as emergency management and public safety officials in the Pacific Northwest.

Rheological control of Wadati-Benioff zone seismicity [PDF]

, 1988
Intermediate and deep focus earthquakes in Wadati-Benioff zones are thought to occur in the cold interiors of downgoing slabs which are significantly stronger than the warmer mantle.

Spatiotemporal Characteristics of Tectonic Tremors in California

Geophysical Research Letters
California, as a transform plate boundary, provides a distinctive tectonic setting and an ideal natural laboratory for investigating tectonic tremors and the slow deformation associated with plate motion.

Structural Controls on Splay Fault Rupture Dynamics During Cascadia Megathrust Earthquakes

AGU Advances
Great subduction earthquakes (Mw ≥ 8.0) can generate devastating tsunamis by rapidly displacing the seafloor and overlying water column. These potentially tsunamigenic seafloor offsets result from coseismic fault slip and deformation beneath or within ...
