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 ...

Complex anisotropy beneath the Peruvian flat slab from frequency-dependent, multiple-phase shear wave splitting analysis [PDF]
, 2013 Flat or shallow subduction is a relatively widespread global occurrence, but the dynamics remain poorly understood. In particular, the interaction between flat slabs and the surrounding mantle flow has yet to be studied in detail.

Properties of the Subduction System in Mexico [PDF]
, 2011 This thesis presents seismic imaging results of the structure of the Mexican subduction zone using receiver function (RF) based on teleseismic P-to-S converted waves, in order to gain insight into the physical and chemical factors associated with ...

Recent Crustal Deformation in West-Central South America [PDF]
, 2003 I use interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) to create maps of crustal deformation along the coast and within the volcanic arc of central South America. I image deformation associated with six subduction zone earthquakes, four volcanic centers,

An exponential build-up in seismic energy suggests a months-long nucleation of slow slip in Cascadia
Nature Communications, 2020 Using machine learning algorithms, the authors here identify slow slip precursors in the Cascadia subduction zone to last for months - which in turn argues for a much better predictability of slow slip rupture.

Toward an Integrative Geological and Geophysical View of Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquakes [PDF]
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2021 The Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) is an exceptional geologic environment for recording evidence of land-level changes, tsunamis, and ground motion that reveals at least 19 great megathrust earthquakes over the past 10 kyr. Such earthquakes are among the most impactful natural hazards on Earth, transcend national boundaries, and can have global impact.
