A new study mapping the Cascadia Subduction Zone is giving scientists clues about the state of the fault line as the Pacific ...

called the Cascadia Subduction Zone, two pieces of the Earth’s crust slide against each other, building up stresses capable of unleashing a catastrophic 9.0-magnitude earthquake and generating a ...

1. Figure 1: Map of the northern Cascadia subduction zone showing the distribution of earthquakes in the subducting Juan de Fuca plate and the locations of seismic cross-sections. Green dashed line ...

January 26 marked the 325th anniversary since the last earthquake struck the Cascadia subduction zone. Centuries later, the ancient quake has left clues for scientists to prepare for the next one.

One robotics team in Oregon City, Skynet, has worked to get rid of the financial barrier that kept some kids out of STEM programs. A Salem man was arrested Friday for the murder of a woman who was ...

The Cascadia Subduction Zone is capable of generating "megathrust" earthquakes with magnitudes of 9.0 or higher. Such an event, which last occurred over 300 years ago, could trigger a tsunami ...

The new bridge will be earthquake-ready, so crews are digging a 10-foot-wide, 125-foot-deep hole to see how concrete supports react during a simulated seismic event.

"We have the potential for earthquakes and tsunamis as large ... for the building codes and zoning." The map of the Cascadia Subduction Zone showed several interesting findings.

Wildfires and hurricanes are dominating the disaster spotlight, but the threat of a massive earthquake still simmers beneath the surface in the Pacific Northwest. The National Science Foundation ...
