A team of scientists is reportedly working to obtain the sharpest pictures of the Cascadia subduction zone ever taken.
To investigate Cascadia's Oregon and British Columbia portion and the reason for this lull, researchers – including students – from the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, University of Washington, Oregon State University and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have boarded Columbia University's R/V Marcus G. Langseth for the weeks-long expedition funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation. Science technicians are also present to help operate the seismic equipment as well as marine mammal observers and the Langseth's officers and crew.More Related News
