Evidence for large earthquakes at the Cascadia Subduction Zone [PDF]
Reviews of Geophysics, 1997 Large, historically unprecedented earthquakes at the Cascadia subduction zone in western North America have left signs of sudden land level change, tsunamis, and strong shaking in coastal sediments. The coastal geological evidence suggests that many of the earthquakes occurred at the boundary between the overriding North American plate and the ...

IODP Expedition 328: Early Results of Cascadia Subduction Zone ACORK Observatory [PDF]
Scientific Drilling, 2012 Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 328 was devoted to the installation of an "Advanced CORK" (Circulation Obviation Retrofit Kit) in the Cascadia subduction zone accretionary prism to observe the physical state and properties of the ...

Methane Plume Emissions Associated With Puget Sound Faults in the Cascadia Forearc
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 Methane gas plumes have been discovered to issue from the seafloor in the Puget Sound estuary. These gas emission sites are co‐located over traces of three major fault zones that fracture the entire forearc crust of the Cascadia Subduction Zone ...

Deep-water turbidites as Holocene earthquake proxies: the Cascadia subduction zone and Northern San Andreas Fault systems [PDF]
, 2003 New stratigraphic evidence from the Cascadia margin demonstrates that 13 earthquakes ruptured the margin from Vancouver Island to at least the California border following the catastrophic eruption of Mount Mazama.

Bidirectional Loading of the Subduction Interface: Evidence From the Kinematics of Slow Slip Events
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 Subduction zones host some of Earth's most damaging natural hazards, including megathrust earthquakes and earthquake‐induced tsunamis. A major control on the initiation and rupture characteristics of subduction megathrust earthquakes is how the coupled ...

Commentary: The Role of Geodetic Algorithms for Earthquake Early Warning in Cascadia
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 The ShakeAlert earthquake early warning (EEW) system issues public alerts in California and will soon extend to Oregon and Washington. The Cascadia subduction zone presents significant new challenges and opportunities for EEW.

Rotation and plate locking at the Southern Cascadia Subduction Zone [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2000 Global Positioning System vectors and surface tilt rates are inverted simultaneously for the rotation of western Oregon and plate locking on the southern Cascadia subduction thrust fault. Plate locking appears to be largely offshore, consistent with earlier studies, and is sufficient to allow occasional great earthquakes inferred from geology ...

Data report: Seismic structure beneath the North Cascadia drilling transect of IODP Expedition 311 [PDF]
, 2006 Between 1999 and 2004, new seismic data became available for the study of gas hydrates on the northern Cascadia margin. These data consist of multi- and single-channel data with two- and partly three-dimensional subsurface coverage and were acquired and ...

A Long‐Term View of Episodic Tremor and Slip in Cascadia
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 Episodic Tremor and Slip, or ETS, is a well‐recognized phenomenon in the Cascadia subduction zone. Constraining the precise location of geodetically measured slip during ETS is important for clarifying the relationship between slip and tremor during ETS,
