Jan. 26, 2025, marks 325 years since the last great earthquake on the Cascadia subduction zone. It’s a time to reflect on what we’ve learned about this largest fault system in the lower 48 states ...

Its eruption won’t trigger a tsunami or a massive land-based earthquake because of its depth and its distance from the region’s megathrust Cascadia fault. But scientists can use the lessons ...

An undersea volcano off Oregon’s coast will likely erupt in 2025, scientists say. Known as Axial Seamount, it’s the most active volcano in the Pacific Northwest – though one most people ...

The Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center (CRESCENT), a research project focused on the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ), was established in 2023 following a $15 million grant from the National Scie ...

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.

The new threat level issued by Japan’s Earthquake Research Committee is similar to estimates published in the journal ...

The timing and location of such megathrust earthquakes depend on factors such as the shape, roughness, composition, and fluid content of the fault. Aside from the danger they pose, such ...
