Measuring, modelling and projecting coastal land subsidence
Coastal subsidence contributes to relative sea-level rise and exacerbates flooding hazards,
with the at-risk population expected to triple by 2070. Natural processes of vertical land …

Invited review paper: Some outstanding issues in the study of great megathrust earthquakes—The Cascadia example
Because of a combination of new observational tools and a flurry of large megathrust
earthquakes, tremendous progress has been made in recent years towards understanding …

Slip rate deficit and earthquake potential on shallow megathrusts
Most destructive tsunamis are caused by seismic slip on the shallow part of offshore
megathrusts. The likelihood of this behaviour is partly determined by the interseismic slip …

Subducting plate structure and megathrust morphology from deep seismic imaging linked to earthquake rupture segmentation at Cascadia
The origin of rupture segmentation along subduction zone megathrusts and linkages to the
structural evolution of the subduction zone are poorly understood. Here, regional-scale …

Fluid transport and storage in the Cascadia forearc influenced by overriding plate lithology
Subduction of hydrated oceanic lithosphere can carry water deep into the Earth, with
consequences for a range of tectonic and magmatic processes. Most of the fluid is released …

Toward an integrative geological and geophysical view of Cascadia subduction zone earthquakes
The Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) is an exceptional geologic environment for recording
evidence of land-level changes, tsunamis, and ground motion that reveals at least 19 great …

The deep Shumagin gap filled: Kinematic rupture model and slip budget analysis of the 2020 Mw 7.8 Simeonof earthquake constrained by GNSS, global seismic …
Abstract On 22 July 2020, the Mw 7.8 Simeonof megathrust earthquake struck offshore of the
Alaska Peninsula. This was the largest event since 1917 in the enigmatic area known as the …

Geodetically inferred locking state of the Cascadia megathrust based on a viscoelastic Earth model
In a viscoelastic Earth, stresses slowly built up due to fault locking are relaxed concurrently
during the entire interseismic period. This interseismic stress relaxation causes crustal …

Links between sediment consolidation and Cascadia megathrust slip behaviour
At sediment-rich subduction zones, megathrust slip behaviour and forearc deformation are
tightly linked to the physical properties and in situ stresses within underthrust and accreted …

Correlation of porosity variations and rheological transitions on the southern Cascadia megathrust
The unknown onshore extent of megathrust earthquake rupture in the Cascadia subduction
zone represents a key uncertainty in earthquake hazard for the Pacific Northwest that is …
