These are two very different fault systems, but the sediment record suggests that in the past, at least three San Andreas ...

A new geological study suggests that California’s San Andreas Fault and the Cascadia Subduction Zone, two of the most powerful seismic systems in North America, may be more connected than previously ...

Newly-released research led by the University of Washington (UW) showed that a feature scientists hypothesized was present along the Cascadia Subduction Zone is missing in places. What does that mean ...

29. For example, researchers found evidence that the last magnitude 9 earthquake in the Cascadia subduction zone - in 1700 ...

Two fault systems on North America’s West Coast – the Cascadia subduction zone and the San Andreas fault – may be synchronized, with earthquakes on one fault potentially triggering seismic events on ...

It’s the 323rd anniversary of the last Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. We spend a fair amount of time thinking about the ‘Big One’ (and the ‘Really Big One’) in the Pacific Northwest. Today is ...

Oceanography, Vol. 32, No. 1, SPECIAL ISSUE ON SCIENTIFIC OCEAN DRILLING: Looking to the Future (MARCH 2019), pp. 80-93 (14 pages) Scientific ocean drilling from 2007 through 2018 has played a major ...

About 50 miles off the coast of Newport, hot, mineral-laden seawater is seeping out of the ocean floor at an unprecedented rate. Researchers at the University of Washington say the liquid acts as a ...

Pacific Beach, WA – Researchers at the University of Washington have made a crucial discovery to help them better understand earthquake zones off the West Coast. The findings give them more insight ...

Geophysicists can use a new model to explain the behavior of a tectonic plate sinking into a subduction zone in the Earth's mantle: the plate becomes weak and thus more deformable when mineral grains ...
