EXPRESS: Expanding Pacific Research and Exploration of Submerged Systems - Interagency Collaborative Efforts Explore Deep Ocean Areas
As state and national interest in offshore renewable energy development and substantial commercial and recreational fishing activities grows, managing offshore habitats becomes increasingly challenging. In response, USGS and BOEM have joined NOAA and several non-Federal partners to initiate EXpanding Pacific Research and Exploration of Submerged Systems (EXPRESS), a multiy
Earthquakes, Landslides, and Tsunamis: Mapping Geohazards in the Cascadia Subduction Zone
The geologic research and mapping in the offshore areas is foundational to understanding how to manage resources and improve public safety in subduction zone areas.
Scientists Map Tectonic Structure Below the Seafloor of Puerto Rico
The USGS is working to identify and map faults in southern Puerto Rico, to estimate the location and magnitude of potential earthquakes.
