Like most Portlanders, Emma Pattee is worried about “the really big one.” That is, of course, a Cascadia subduction zone ...

The Cascadia Subduction Zone is capable of generating powerful earthquakes. The study found compact sediments along the coast of Washington and northern Oregon, a result that suggests that the ...

This study, published in Earth and Planetary Physics, explores the subduction thermal state, slab metamorphism, and seismic ...

Electrical resistivity data reveal that subduction-zone fluids exert an important influence on deformation in the region. Where the Earth's tectonic plates meet, they interact in complex ...
