Earthquake Hazards on the Cascadia Subduction Zone
Science, 1987 Large subduction earthquakes on the Cascadia subduction zone pose a potential seismic hazard. Very young oceanic lithosphere (10 million years old) is being subducted beneath North America at a rate of approximately 4 centimeters per year.

An assessment of the megathrust earthquake potential of the Cascadia subduction zone
Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 1988 The active tectonic setting of the southwest coast of Canada and the Pacific northwest coast of the United states is dominated by the Cascadia subduction zone. The zone can be divided into four segments where oceanic lithosphere is converging independently with the North American plate: the Winona and the Explorer segments in the north, the larger ...

Periodic Slow Earthquakes from the Cascadia Subduction Zone
Science, 2002 Continuous geodetic measurements from convergent margins have shown that deep transient creep events can release large amounts of strain energy without detectable seismic shaking, and they are thus known as slow or silent earthquakes. Because subduction zones generate the largest earthquakes,

Limits to coseismic landslides triggered by Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquakes
Geomorphology, 2022 Landslides are a significant hazard and dominant feature throughout the landscape of the Pacific Northwest. However, the hazard and risk posed by coseismic landslides triggered by great Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) earthquakes is highly uncertain due ...

Tectonics and Geodynamics of the Cascadia Subduction Zone
Elements, 2022The Cascadia subduction zone, where the young and thin oceanic Juan de Fuca plate sinks beneath western North America, represents a thermally hot endmember of global subduction systems. Cascadia exhibits complex and three-dimensional heterogeneities including variable coupling between the overriding and downgoing plates, the amount of water carried ...

Amphibious surface-wave phase-velocity measurements of the Cascadia subduction zone [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 2019 SUMMARY A new amphibious seismic data set from the Cascadia subduction zone is used to characterize the lithosphere structure from the Juan de Fuca ridge to the Cascades backarc.

Volcano, Earthquake, and Tsunami Hazards of the Cascadia Subduction Zone
Elements, 2022Subduction zones produce some of Earth’s most devastating geological events. Recent eruptions of Mount St. Helens and great earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan and Sumatra provide stark examples of the destructive power of subduction-related hazards. In the Cascadia subduction zone, large earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions have occurred in the

Postglacial rebound at the northern Cascadia subduction zone
Quaternary Science Reviews, 2000Postglacial rebound is the response of the Earth to the decay of ice-sheets. A postglacial rebound model explains crustal tilting and rapid uplift at the northern Cascadia subduction zone that occurred during retreat of the Cordilleran ice-sheet. Observations explained by the model include the shoreline tilts of two proglacial lakes that formed at 13.5}
