Mapping Mantle Flows and Slab Anisotropy in the Cascadia Subduction Zone
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The Cascadia margin is an unusual subduction zone characterized by the downdip movement of young and thin oceanic plates, where mantle flow and intraslab deformation are still unclear. Here we present new anisotropic tomography of the Cascadia subduction

Isolating non-subduction-driven tectonic processes in Cascadia
Geoscience Letters, 2021 Several tectonic processes combine to produce the crustal deformation observed across the Cascadia margin: (1) Cascadia subduction, (2) the northward propagation of the Mendocino Triple Junction (MTJ), (3) the translation of the Sierra Nevada–Great ...

Crustal anisotropy in a subduction zone forearc : Northern Cascadia [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2014 S-wave splitting analyses using high signal-to-noise ratio low frequency earthquake (LFE) templates at 3-component stations across southern Vancouver Island (SVI) and northern Washington indicate the presence of a heterogeneous distribution of crustal anisotropy in the North American plate.
