Oregon’s sea level forecasts more accurate than many around the globe, scientist says The Cascade Subduction Zone affects where the ocean meets the land, and that land is rising in some parts of the Oregon Coast.

A network of tide gages give consistent measurements of where the #ocean meets the land here on the U.S. West Coast, but the #Cascadia Subduction Zone pushes that land higher in some places.

Get the scoop from Peter Ruggiero, #CEOAS professor and director of CoPes Hub:

Cascadia CoPes Hub

The Cascadia Coastlines and Peoples Hazards Research Hub (CoPes Hub), led by #CEOAS and partners, unites scientists, Tribal nations and communities to address coastal hazards such as #earthquakes, #tsunamis and sea-level rise.

Spotlight on: The Disasters in Divided Societies lab with Laura Peters in CEOAS | OSU Today Laura Peters is an assistant professor of geography in the College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences.

"For a lab focusing on disasters, we end up engaging with some of the most powerful stories of hope and creativity."

#CEOAS geographer Laura Peters asks how disaster risk can be reduced in places affected by conflict, displacement or deep division: today.oregonstate.edu/all-stories/...

A Pacific Northwest girl ‘raised by the ocean’ grows up to make notable contributions to worldwide ocean health “Standing at the edge of the world, in a place I only knew from photos and documentaries, I can’t imagine a greater thrill than this,” she wrote in one account. “The thrill of seeking to know the ocea...

SWAIS2C — Sensitivity of the West #Antarctic Ice Sheet to 2°C — seeks critical geological records from the sediment deep below the Ross Ice Shelf to determine how much the #ice melted during the past. Because to prepare for the future, we need to look back.

"Dr. Pettit and others expect the shelf to break apart entirely in the next few years, becoming a mélange of giant icebergs. Once that happens, the #ice upstream could start moving quickly to fill the void, Dr. Pettit said. “They are connected in ways that we don’t fully understand"
