Central Cascadia subduction zone creep
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2014 Central Cascadia between 43°N and 46°N has reduced interseismic uplift observed in geodetic data and coseismic subsidence seen in multiple thrust earthquakes, suggesting elevated persistent fault creep in this section of the subduction zone. We estimate subduction thrust “decade-scale” locking and crustal block rotations from three-component continuous

Earthquake cycle modeling of the Cascadia subduction zone
, 2019 The Cascadia subduction zone hosts great $\mathrm{M}_\mathrm{W} > 8.5$ earthquakes, but studying these events is hindered by our short observational record. Earthquake cycle simulation provides an alternative window into the behavior of the subduction zone.

Applying Automatic Mapping Processing By GMT to Bathymetric and Geophysical Data: Cascadia Subduction Zone, Pacific Ocean [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Geography, 2020 The Cascadia Trench is stretching along the convergent plate boundaries of Pacific Plate, North America Plate and Juan De Fuca Plate. It is an important geomorphological structural feature in the north-east Pacific Ocean.

Relative Tsunami Hazard From Segments of Cascadia Subduction Zone For Mw 7.5–9.2 Earthquakes
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Tsunamis from earthquakes of various magnitudes have affected Cascadia in the past. Simulations of Mw 7.5–9.2 earthquake constrained by earthquake rupture physics and geodetic locking models show that Mw ≥ 8.5 events initiating in the middle segments of ...

AGU AdvancesRelative plate motion in subduction zones transitions from frictional slip to viscous flow with increasing depth and temperature. The frictional‐viscous transition can control the depth extent of megathrust earthquakes and episodic tremor and slip (ETS).

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 ...
