Collaborative Research: 3D Imaging of Controls on Subduction Zone Megathrust Rupture and S — NSF Award to Lehigh University (PA, $
The largest earthquakes worldwide occur in ‘subduction zones’ where oceanic plates descend beneath continents and into Earth’s deep interior. These earthquakes, which occur on faults that separate the descending oceanic plate from the overlying continental plate, can have devastating human and economic impacts. Regions

| Abstract | The largest earthquakes worldwide occur in ‘subduction zones’ where oceanic plates descend beneath continents and into Earth’s deep interior. These earthquakes, which occur on faults that separate the descending oceanic plate from the overlying continental plate, can have devastating human and economic impacts. Regions of the world at risk from these earthquakes include the U.S. Pacific Northwest and Alaska, Central and South America, Japan, and Southeast Asia. In this project, Meltzer, Beck, an |
