Here we use SKS shear wave splitting observations from ocean-bottom seismometer data to infer patterns of mantle deformation beneath the Juan de Fuca plate and its adjoining boundaries. Our results indicate that the asthenosphere beneath the Juan de Fuca plate responds largely to absolute plate motion with an anisotropic layer...

Oregon’s High Lava Plains Province (HLP) has strongly bimodal basalt and rhyolitic volcanism. The Province caps the northern margin of the Basin and Range Province and serves as a transitional region between westward extension of the Basin and Range Province and unextended crust to the north . The High Lava...

The primary goal of this study is to assess the impact of a subduction component
added to the mantle wedge beneath the Oregon Cascades to the composition and fO2 of
primitive Cascade basalts. Olivine-hosted melt inclusions from compositionally diverse
basalts across the Cascade arc (~100 km) are utilized in an...

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...

Distributed deformation in the backarc of Cascadia is complex. Off the west
coast lies the Cascadia convergent margin. East of the plate boundary,
clockwise rotation of the Oregon Coast Range block with respect to stable
North America influences backarc deformation, causing extensional faults in
southeast Oregon, contraction folding in southeast...
