The Cascadia margin: Linking geophysical characteristics with subduction zone structure and evolution
The Cascadia margin: Linking geophysical characteristics with subduction zone structure and evolution
Session ID#: 123910
Session Description:
The Cascadia subduction margin poses some of the most significant hazards related to earthquakes and volcanism in the conterminous United States, and shows significant variability in seismogenic processes, deformation, and magmatism at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. In recent decades, geophysical observations have drastically increased, allowing researchers to explore the relationships between geophysical characteristics and geologic processes operating along the Cascadia margin. However, linking these observations is non-trivial, requiring an integrative understanding of both geophysical datasets and subduction-related geologic and tectonic processes.
To better understand these relationships, we invite research contributions that seek to interpret geophysical and geologic information in the broader tectonic context of structure and evolution of the Cascadia margin. Studies that focus on geophysical, geodynamic, petrological, structural, geochemical, and/or geochronological data are welcome.
