SSA 2024 session alert! Join us in Anchorage for "From Faults to Fjords: Earthquake Evidence in Terrestrial and Subaqueous Environments." We seek presentations that highlight paleoseismic records from all depositional environments/laboratory analyses/ modeling studies/syntheses.

@NWSAnchorage @SummerOhlendorf What about Hope?

[USGS Coastal Change @USGSCoastChange]

"Geologists can't predict exactly when, where, or how big the next earthquake and tsunami might be, but we can use evidence of past tsunamis to figure out how often these events occur, and how large potential future tsunamis might be." Learn more here: https://t.co/8c74oO5dNB

Years in the making, the SZ4D Implementation Plan is out! This is the culmination of the SZ4D and MCS Research Coordination Networks - and also the opening of the next chapter for this massive community effort.

Pacific coastal communities have experienced several devastating tsunamis over the past few decades. Some of the most dangerous started from earthquakes along Alaska’s Aleutian Islands between 1938-65. Learn more: https://t.co/3jjuM1w3hB #worldtsunamiawarenessday @USGS_Alaska

Check out our new article in EOS reviewing over a decade of coastal paleoseismology work along the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone and how it informs tsunami hazard assessments in the Pacific region 🌊🧵

Good thing I’m here on this Cascadia paleoseismology fieldwork, no one else could get this core out of the ground!* @WitterBanter @_sourcetosink @seismicdave1 @vtgeosciences #cascadiasubductionzone #tsunamis #earthquakes

Tsunami update from @WitterBanter @rangefront @diatomdura @SeaLevelChange @USGS_Quakes @USGS_Alaska @vtgeosciences.

New research indicates that the Aleutians, cradle of Pacific tsunamis, launch dangerous waves every 60–90 years, on average.

Cascadia paleoseismic fieldwork at the Sixes River in southern Oregon. It’s a dream to be here with the Sixes River OG paleoseismologists Rob Witter and Harvey Kelsey. Our mission is to collect new vibracores for quantitative diatom analysis 🌊

[Geosciences at VT @vtgeosciences]

David Bruce and Jessica DePaolis, PhD students in the Coastal Hazards Lab with @diatomdura, traveled to north-central Chile this summer to describe and measure the 9/16/2015 tsunami deposit. The samples collected will undergo more detailed analyses in the lab this school year. 🧵
