3D crustal structure and long-period ground motions from a M9.0 megathrust earthquake in the Pacific Northwest region

January 1, 2008

We have developed a community velocity model for the Pacific Northwest region from northern California to southern Canada and carried out the first 3D simulation of a M_w 9.0 megathrust earthquake rupturing along the Cascadia subduction zone using a parallel supercomputer. A long-period (
