This map models locking at the Cascadia Subduction Zone, with red showing where the plates are tightly locked and orange/yellow indicating less locking. The study sites are marked with small red ...
Phys.org: The Cascadia Subduction Zone isn't shutting down—but it's more complicated than previously thought
Recent seismic imaging off Vancouver Island has revealed something extraordinary: a tear in the subducting oceanic plate beneath the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The finding briefly raised the public's ...

The Daily of the University of Washington: New study shows fluid in Cascadia Subduction Zone creates variability in earthquake impacts
A new UW study on the Cascadia Subduction Zone was released in February 2026. The study indicated that a difference between the northern and central areas of the subduction zone may create variability ...
New study shows fluid in Cascadia Subduction Zone creates variability in earthquake impacts
The Cascadia Subduction Zone off the Pacific Northwest is overdue for an earthquake – and when it happens, coastal communities will be devastated.
KOIN 6: Fluid in the Cascadia Subduction Zone could impact how the region responds to a massive quake, UW finds
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – The Cascadia Subduction Zone is “unusually quiet,” for a megathrust fault, making it more difficult for scientists to understand its behavior and structure. With help from ...
Fluid in the Cascadia Subduction Zone could impact how the region responds to a massive quake, UW finds
The Pacific Northwest sits atop one of the most dangerous fault systems on Earth, yet daily life from Seattle to Portland rarely reflects that reality. The Cascadia Subduction Zone, a 700-mile ...
KING5: The Cascadia Subduction Zone looks a little different than researchers thought. Here's what that means for 'The Big One'
SEATTLE — Newly-released research led by the University of Washington (UW) showed that a feature scientists hypothesized was present along the Cascadia Subduction Zone is missing in places. What does ...

Phys.org: Stress-testing the Cascadia Subduction Zone reveals variability that could impact how earthquakes spread
The Cascadia Subduction Zone is unusually quiet for a megathrust fault. Spanning more than 600 miles from Canada to California, the fault marks the convergence of the Juan de Fuca and North American ...

Oregonian: New study shows how massive Cascadia subduction zone earthquake would completely remake the Pacific coastline
A major Cascadia subduction zone earthquake is coming for the West Coast. During that earthquake, parts of California, Oregon and Washington could shake for up to five minutes, as the Juan de Fuca ...

AOL: Catastrophic San Andreas earthquake could be triggered by the Cascadia subduction zone
If the Cascadia subduction zone and the San Andreas fault can act in concert, then seismic models must consider the possibility of coupled behavior. That could mean a higher short-term risk of back-to ...
Catastrophic San Andreas earthquake could be triggered by the Cascadia subduction zone
A major West Coast earthquake along the Cascadia subduction zone could have an unexpected and destructive side-effect for shoreside communities throughout the region. Research recently published in ...
KOIN 6: A Cascadia subduction zone earthquake could increase West Coast flood risk, study finds
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – A major earthquake waiting to strike the Cascadia Subduction Zone isn’t the only natural disaster looming in the Pacific Northwest, new research shows. A powerful quake, ...
