Imaging the next great Cascadia earthquake: Optimal design for a seafloor acoustic-GNSS network

Up to 90% of the world?s primary plate boundaries are located in the ocean. This includes the Cascadia subduction zone offshore the Pacific Northwest of the United States of America, which is known to produce magnitude 9.0 earthquakes, and accompanying tsunamis, every ~600 years. An outstanding question in this region, as in most subduction zones, is the degree and spatial extent of strain accumulation...

Development of a CSUN GeoAnalytical Center for Research, Teaching, and Outreach in Earth Systems Science

This project will create a “GeoAnalytical Center” within the Department of Geological Sciences (DGS) at California State University, Northridge (CSUN) with the goal of expanding STEM research and educational opportunities in laboratory and computational settings. The GeoAnalytical Center will consolidate existing CSUN DGS research facilities with the requested instrumentation to create an exce...
