Tectonic Geohazard Sources and Integrated Probabilistic Modeling
Cascadia coastal communities face a Destructive Combination of Hazards:
- Earthquake shaking
- Tsunamis
- Landslides
Recent Advances:
- High-resolution imaging
- High-precision geologic dating
- 3D earthquake and tsunami simulations
- Simulation of impacts of shaking and tsunami on infrastructure
Team 1 Goals:
- Advance understanding of Cascadia earthquakes, tsunamis and landslides and their recurrence rates
- Enable comprehensive coastal multi-hazard planning and mitigation through advanced probabilistic simulations
