Quantifying coseismic land-level change along the Cascadia subduction zone in central Oregon
… seismic hazards. Estimates of the magnitude of coseismic subsidence produced by these great (>M 8.5) earthquakes provide critical constraints for rupture and hazard models. Coastal subsidence from these earthquakes is preserved in tidal wetland stratigraphy, where sharp contacts between peat and …

The Application of Macro- and Microfossils to Identify Paleoearthquakes in Sumatra, Indonesia and to Characterize Geomorphic and Ecological Succession on a Marsh Platform After Hurricane Isabel in North Carolina, USA
… of the lower buried soil, which is indicative of coseismic subsidence from a paleoearthquake estimated to have occurred ca. 6500-7000 years BP. Approximately 1-3 m above the lower buried soil sequence is an upper buried soil with an age of ca. 5500-6000 years BP. I used a multi-proxy method that …

Refining tsunami inundation limits for the 1700 CE Cascadia earthquake: detailed mapping of fine-grained deposits and diatom biostratigraphy at the Salmon River estuary, central Oregon
Stratigraphic evidence of coseismic subsidence and sandy tsunami deposits preserved in coastal wetlands provide tangible evidence of the 1700 CE Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) earthquake and tsunami. Such evidence has been used to evaluate earthquake source models by comparing simulated tsunami …
