January 26 marked the 325th anniversary since the last earthquake struck the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Centuries later, the ancient quake has left clues for scientists to prepare for the next one.

Megathrust earthquakes occur when stress at subduction zones is released, causing significant plate slippage. These events disrupt long-term tectonic changes, complicating modeling efforts.

Now, scientists aim to get their clearest picture yet of the complex mechanics of our big-risk Hikurangi Subduction Zone – and what sets it apart from similar systems around the planet.

The Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center (CRESCENT), a research project focused on the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ), was established in 2023 following a $15 million grant from the National Scie ...
