GPS-determination of along-strike variation in Cascadia margin kinematics: Implications for relative plate motion, subduction zone coupling, and permanent deformation

Creator:

Miller, M. Meghan, Johnson, Daniel J., Rubin, Charles M., Dragert, Herb, Wang, Kelin, Qamar, Anthony, and Goldfinger, Chris

Abstract:

High-precision GPS geodesy in the Pacific Northwest provides the first synoptic view of the along-strike variation in Cascadia margin kinematics. These results constrain interfering deformation fields in a region where typical earthquake recurrence intervals are one or more orders of magnitude longer than the decades-long history of seismic monitoring and...

Living with earthquakes in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:

Yeats, Robert S.

Abstract:

In this expanded new edition of Living with Earthquakes, Robert Yeats, a leading authority on earthquakes in California and the Pacific Northwest, describes the threat posed by the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a great earthquake fault which runs for hundreds of miles offshore from British Columbia to northern California. New research...
