A new view into the Cascadia subduction zone and volcanic arc: Implications for earthquake hazards along the Washington margin A new view into the Cascadia subduction zone and volcanic arc: Implications for earthquake hazards along the Washington margin
In light of suggestions that the Cascadia subduction margin may pose a significant seismic hazard for the highly populated Pacific Northwest region of the United States, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the Research Center for Marine Geosciences (GEOMAR), and university collaborators collected and interpreted a 530-km-long wide-angle onshore-offshore seismic transect across the...

New seismic images of the cascadia subduction zone from cruise SO 108-ORWELL New seismic images of the cascadia subduction zone from cruise SO 108-ORWELL
In April and May 1996, a geophysical study of the Cascadia continental margin off Oregon and Washington was conducted aboard the German R/V Sonne. This cooperative experiment by GEOMAR and the USGS acquired wide-angle reflection and refraction seismic data, using ocean-bottom seismometers (OBS) and hydrophones (OBH), and multichannel seismic reflection (MCS) data. The main goal of this...

Nonlinear refraction and reflection travel time tomography Nonlinear refraction and reflection travel time tomography
We develop a rapid nonlinear travel time tomography method that simultaneously inverts refraction and reflection travel times on a regular velocity grid. For travel time and ray path calculations, we apply a wave front method employing graph theory. The first-arrival refraction travel times are calculated on the basis of cell velocities, and the later refraction and reflection travel...

Uplift of the Transantarctic Mountains and the bedrock beneath the East Antarctic ice sheet Uplift of the Transantarctic Mountains and the bedrock beneath the East Antarctic ice sheet
In recent years the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM), the largest noncontractional mountain belt in the world, have become the focus of modelers who explained their uplift by a variety of isostatic and thermal mechanisms. A problem with these models is a lack of available data to compare with model predictions. We report here the results of a 312-km-long geophysical traverse conducted in...

Three-dimensional models of deformation near strike-slip faults Three-dimensional models of deformation near strike-slip faults
We use three-dimensional elastic models to help guide the kinematic interpretation of crustal deformation associated with strike-slip faults. Deformation of the brittle upper crust in the vicinity of strike-slip fault systems is modeled with the assumption that upper crustal deformation is driven by the relative plate motion in the upper mantle. The driving motion is represented by...

Images of crust beneath southern California will aid study of earthquakes and their effects Images of crust beneath southern California will aid study of earthquakes and their effects
The Whittier Narrows earthquake of 1987 and the Northridge earthquake of 1991 highlighted the earthquake hazards associated with buried faults in the Los Angeles region. A more thorough knowledge of the subsurface structure of southern California is needed to reveal these and other buried faults and to aid us in understanding how the earthquake-producing machinery works in this region.
