Morphology of the Explorer–Juan de Fuca slab edge in northern Cascadia: Imaging plate capture at a ridge-trench-transform triple junction

The Explorer plate is a young oceanic microplate that accommodates relative motion between the Pacifi c, Juan de Fuca, and North America plates near northern Vancouver Island, Canada. The northern limit of Explorer plate–Juan de Fuca subduction and the fate of the slab in northern Cascadia are poorly understood. We use passive teleseismic recordings from an array of POLARIS broadband seismic st...

Ground Motions for Earthquakes in Southwestern British Columbia and Northwestern Washington: Crustal, In-Slab, and Offshore Events

Regional ground-motion generation and propagation must be characterized to adequately assess seismic hazard. In the Cascadia region of southwestern British Columbia and northwestern Washington, the ground-motion issues are particularly complex because of the contributions to hazard from five distinct types of events, all of which behave differently in terms of their ground-motion propagation ch...

Evolution of the Walvis Ridge-Rio Grande Rise Hot Spot System' Implications for African and South American Plate Motions Over Plumes

Crystallization ages of volcanic rocks, dredged or drilled from the Walvis Ridge (ten sites) and the Rio Grande Rise (one site), have been determined by the 40Ar/39Ar incremental heating technique. The fundamentally age-progressive distribution of these basement ages suggests a common hot spot source for volcanism on the island of Tristan da Cunha, along the Walvis Ridge and Rio Grande Rise, an...

Results from Prior NSF Support: William Menke. Award Number OCE-11965 Amount $304,958; Period 08/15/98-11/30/00, Title Active Seismic Imaging of Axial Volcano, PI's

Period 08/15/98-11/30/00, Title Active Seismic Imaging of Axial Volcano, PI's William Menke & Maya Tolstoy. The region of Axial Volcano, Juan de Fuca Ridge region provides an excellent opportunity to study the interplay between active "hot spot" and "mid-ocean ridge" magmatic systems. Important questions include how the two magma systems are fed; their magma and heat budgets; the degree of inte...

Microearthquakes on the Endeavour segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge

[1] We report the results of a 55-day microearthquake experiment on the Endeavour segment of Juan de Fuca Ridge. The network covered a 5-km section of the ridge axis centered on the Main vent field and extended 15-km off axis on the west flank. The ridge axis and flanks were seismically active, and 1750 earthquakes were located with a minimum of five travel time picks including at least one S w...
