The aim of this work is to develop a better understanding of lithospheric structure of the Pacific Northwest, in particular the Cascadia subduction zone of Southwest Canada and Northwest USA (Figure 1). The goal is to compare and contrast the lithospheric density structure along two profiles ...
“If your takeaway…is thatThe Cascadia Subduction Zonesounds really interesting, you’re not wrong—it’s a wonderful journal filled with thoughtful and insightful criticism.” — Niall Harrison,The Guardian, May 12, 2016 Compost 1, Ruby Rae Jones...

We found that repeated slow slip events observed on the deeper interface of the northern Cascadia subduction zone, which were at first thought to be silent, have unique nonearthquake seismic signatures. Tremorlike seismic signals were found to correlate temporally and spatially with slip events identi...
We have determined the average relative uplift between Port Angeles and Port Townsend, Washington, associated with the past 10 slow slip earthquakes on the Cascadia subduction zone by analyzing hourly water level records from the NOAA tide gauges at those sites. The average relative uplift of Port...
We perform fully coupled earthquake and tsunami simulations for three subduction zones: the Japan Trench, the Nankai Trough, and the Cascadia Subduction Zone. We use data from seismic surveys, drilling expeditions, and laboratory experiments to construct detailed 2D models of the subduction zones with...

Strong-motion recordings of earthquakes in the Pacific Northwest are few in number and nonexistent for events along the megathrust fault of the Cascadia subduction zone. The prediction of strong ground shaking from future large earthquakes in the region based on an empirical approach is hampered by...
