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 ...

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.

The Cascadia Initiative: A Sea Change In Seismological Studies of Subduction Zones [PDF]
Oceanography, 2014 Increasing public awareness that the Cascadia subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest is capable of great earthquakes (magnitude 9 and greater) motivates the Cascadia Initiative, an ambitious onshore/offshore seismic and geodetic experiment that takes ...
