Regional scale sandbar variability : observations from the U.S. Pacific Northwest

Creator:

Di Leonardo, Diana R.

Abstract:

Understanding sandbar dynamics and variability is integral to developing a predictive capacity for nearshore flows, sediment transport, morphological change, and ultimately for determining coastline exposure to damaging storm waves. Along the high-energy U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) coast, sandbars typically dominate the bathymetry of the active zone. Here we report on...

Active deformation of the Cascadia forearc : implications for great earthquake potential in Oregon and Washington

Creator:

Goldfinger, Chris

Abstract:

Nine west-northwest-trending faults on the continental margin of Oregon and Washington, between 43° 05'N and 470 20'N latitude, have been mapped using seismic reflection, sidescan sonar, submersibles, and swath bathymetry. Five of these oblique faults are found on both the Juan de Fuca and North American plates, and offset abyssal...
