Collaborative Research: Active deformation and exhumation at the transition from subductio — NSF Award to Western Washington Unive
Earth’s outer shell consists of rigid tectonic plates that interact primarily along their edges. Several factors control these interactions, including the composition of the plates (oceanic versus continental) and the relative sense of motion between them (colliding, diverging, or sliding past one another).

| Abstract | Earth’s outer shell consists of rigid tectonic plates that interact primarily along their edges. Several factors control these interactions, including the composition of the plates (oceanic versus continental) and the relative sense of motion between them (colliding, diverging, or sliding past one another). These factors combined control the natural hazards expressed along tectonic plate boundaries, including earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, and volcanoes. Because Earth’s tectonic plates are n |
