  1. Cascadia: The Movie This sequence will start automatically and shows the Cascadia Holocene earthquake sequence, starting 10,000 years ago as modeled from paleoseismic data. The slides are timed at 1 sec = ~65 years. Your computer may play them faster or slower. Approximate event ages are in years before present (BP). Event “size” is estimated from consistent turbidite thickness among core sites, and is shown by width and intensity of red shading Updip and downdip limits to slip are not constrained by our data, and are generalized from other studies referenced on the last slide.

  44. The Cascadia earthquake sequence was created by the Active Tectonics and Seafloor Mapping Laboratory, College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Oregon State University. It is a realization of compiled paleoseismic data from offshore and onshore studies compiled and analyzed in the following publications and references therein, and represent the preferred model from that publication. Other models are possible.
