ABSTRACT This study examines the subduction of the Subantarctic Mode Water in the Indian Ocean in an ocean–atmosphere coupled model in which the ocean component is eddy permitting. The purpose is to ...

CORVALLIS, Ore. (KOIN) — Researchers with Oregon State University revealed a three-dimensional fluid model that gives new insight on seismic activity in the Pacific Northwest. According to OSU, the ...

A novel three-dimensional model of the fluid stored deep in Earth's crust along the Cascadia Subduction Zone provides new insight into how the accumulation and release of those fluids may influence ...

Closure of the Neo-Tethys Ocean and the subsequent formation of the Tibetan Plateau is one of the most significant tectonic events on Earth. How the Indian subcontinent drifted northward anomalously ...

Map highlighting the Atlantic subduction zones, the fully developed Lesser Antilles and Scotia arcs on the western side and the incipient Gibraltar arc on the eastern side. From Duarte et al., 2018.

Should a great earthquake occur along the Cascadia subduction zone, Belingham residents theoretically may have only an hour and a half to prepare before an 18-foot-high wall of water from a resulting ...

A budding subduction zone offshore of Spain heralds the start of a new cycle that will one day pull the Atlantic Ocean seafloor into the bowels of the Earth, a new study suggests. Understanding how ...

What scientific question(s) does your research address and what motivates this work? My research project addressed the controversy regarding the plate tectonic reconstruction of the western North ...

Note: This is the second post in a three-part series – Part 1 from earlier today is required reading. Without it you will have no context for most of this post. After reading this, go to Part 3.

Way back when, "15 years ago," I would tell people that there isn't a model available for what might happen in the Puget Sound when there was/will be a Cascadia subduction earthquake out in the ...
