Physical scientists have estimated that the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) has as much a 25% chance to produce M9.0 earthquake and tsunami in next 50 years, but few studies used survey data assess household risk perceptions, emergency preparedness, evacuation intentions. To understand these phenomena, this study conducted mail-based questionnaire using Protective Action Decision Model (PADM) gu...

In this study, a series of solid solutions (1−x)BaTiO3-xCa(Sn1/2Zr1/2)O3 (abbreviated as (1−x)BT-xCSZ, x = 0.00–0.15) ceramics have been prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method to search for high performance lead-free piezoelectric materials. The structural evolution, microstructure, and properties are investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicate that phase symmetry s...

The Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) is an exceptional geologic environment for recording evidence of land-level changes, tsunamis, and ground motion that reveals at least 19 great megathrust earthquakes over the past 10 kyr. Such are among most impactful natural hazards on Earth, transcend national boundaries, can have global impact.Reducing societal impacts future events in US Pacific Northwest...

The corpus callosum facilitates communication between the cerebral hemispheres. Morphological abnormalities of the corpus callosum have been identified in numerous psychiatric and neurological disorders. To quantitatively analyze the thickness profile of the corpus callosum, we adapted an automatic thickness measurement method, which was originally used on magnetic resonance (MR) images of the ...

Goldfinger et al. (2012) interpreted a 10,000 year old sequence of deep sea turbidites at the Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) as a record of clusters of plate-boundary great earthquakes separated by gaps of many hundreds of years. We performed statistical analyses on this inferred earthquake record to test the temporal clustering model and to calculate time-dependent recurrence intervals and pro...
