Do you enjoy studying submarine slopes and landslides? Then we have a MendenhallPostDoc for you! We’re planning to study how submarine landslides connect to subduction processes in Cascadia: Apply by 1/6/22! USGS_YES
deep sea turbidite records are a critical component of long-term earthquake recurrence estimates along the margin and are used to infer greater earthquake frequency in southern Cascadia. However, the sources, triggering mechanisms, and pathways of these turbidity flows are poorly constrained, and lead to substantial uncertainty in the inferred earthquake recurrence and seismic hazard of the CSZ.
We encourage innovative research proposals designed to advance our understanding of submarine landslides in the Cascadia Subduction Zone that can be connected to subduction zone processes, including preconditioning factors, sensitivity to triggering, or associating geomorphic signatures to paleoshaking.
