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.

Why do we need a new I-5 bridge? "Pressure is mounting for another Cascadia Subduction Zone megathrust. At risk are the two ...

Plate subduction and collision zone is one of the most active tectonic regimes on the Earth, which controls the mass and energy circulation between the Earth’s surface and interior, produces the ...

Jiaqi Fang and colleagues describe a new subduction model that can better capture both long-term tectonics and short-term earthquakes and that agrees with existing observations. The model combines ...

Donna Shillington, associate research professor at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, will present a lecture titled "Diet Affects Behavior: How Ingested Fluids and Sediments Influence Alaska Subduction ...

Amid Earth’s mobile tectonic plates, subduction zones arise as regions of intense geological activity and concentrate minerals into ore deposits like gold.
