Widespread abyssal turbidites record megathrust earthquake-triggered landslides and coseismic deformation in the Cascadia subduction zone Lower slope failures produce abyssal turbidites that record shaking and coseismic deformation during megathrust earthquakes.

Our new paper on earthquake records in the Cascadia Subduction Zone is out today!

The goal of our work is to reduce uncertainty in the timing and frequency of large earthquakes by investigating how and where subduction earthquake-triggered deposits are formed. 🧪⚒️🌊

Great work by UW grad student Maddy Lucas showing that it’s important to document fault inactivity🤓

New USGS aeromagnetic map in northern California! cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/data-release...
These data will help scientists like me understand how faults are connected across the shoreline. Results inform models of earthquake shaking and tsunami inundation along the coast. Thanks to the #YurokTribe!

Seafloor enthusiasts! We now have a complete set of high resolution seafloor bathymetry grids for the Cascadia subduction zone (offshore Washington, Oregon & northern California) available for download! #USGS #data #science #mapping #MarineGeohazards
