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 ...

With eruptions in 1998, 2011, and 2015, the volcano serves as a perfect laboratory, and experts expect an eruption by the end ...

The result: the world's greatest earthquakes ... Scientists have long been working to understand the Cascadia Subduction Zone ...

However, a new high-resolution model shows that these remnants can also be found far from subduction zones, complicating ... edits about sci-fi and how our world works. You can find his previous ...

Oregon scientists are hoping to help the coastal communities survive a major inundation in various ways. One of those is detailed evacuation maps that anyone can access.

January 26 marked the 325th anniversary since the last earthquake struck the Cascadia subduction zone. Centuries later, the ...

Megathrust earthquakes occur when stress at subduction zones is released, causing significant plate slippage. These events disrupt long-term tectonic changes, complicating modeling efforts.
