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 …

▪ Abstract We present preliminary evidence for a∼ 10,000-year earthquake record from two
major fault systems based on sediment cores collected along the continental margins of …

Humans, especially children, are naturally curious. Yet, people often balk at the thought of
learning scienceâ€" the" eyes glazed over" syndrome. Teachers may find teaching science a …

GEOLOGICAL evidence shows that great earthquakes have occurred in the recent
prehistoric past in the Cascadia subduction zone, off the Pacific coast of North America. The …

Summary We interpret Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements in the northwestern
United States and adjacent parts of western Canada to describe relative motions of crustal …

A puzzling tsunami entered Japanese history in January 1700. Samurai, merchants, and
villagers wrote of minor flooding and damage. Some noted having felt no earthquake; they …

How the processes that initiate turbidity currents influence turbidite deposition is poorly
understood, and many discussions in the literature rely on concepts that are overly …

High-resolution analysis of macroscopic charcoal in sediment cores from Little Lake was
used to reconstruct the fire history of the last 9000 years. Variations in sediment magnetism …

This pattern of long and short recurrence intervals at Willapa Bay may match the pattern of
intervals between turbidity currents in Cascadia Channel, on the abyssal sea floor 200 km …

Can the magnitude of a giant earthquake be estimated from paleoseismological data alone?
Attempts to estimate the size of the Jogan earthquake of AD 869, whose tsunami affected …
