| Abstract | Subduction, where one tectonic plate moves beneath another, can lead to large magnitude earthquakes. The Alaska Peninsula has a history of such events, making it an ideal location to explore the relationship between different geological features and these earthquakes. This project will use high-quality data from community seismic experiments to better understand the structure of the Earth's plates in this region. This will in turn allow testing hypotheses related to how structures in the overrid |
