Researchers took a ship off the coasts of Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia over the summer of 2021 to map the Cascadia Subduction Zone – discovering one plate near Washington is smoother ...

Researchers using new technology to map the Cascadia Subduction Zone off the U.S. West Coast discovered a new danger zone. Here’s where, and why.

MELBOURNE, Dec. 12 (UPI) -- An Australian-led science team says it has developed a new global map of subduction zones that could help predict where giant earthquakes might strike.

To map the subduction zone, researchers at sea performed active source seismic imaging, a technique that sends sound to the ocean floor and then processes the echoes that return.

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 ...
