Discovery of the 1700 AD earthquake is a triumph of sleuthing!
In 1984, Canadian Geologist John Adams was the first to suggest that direct evidence of Cascadia earthquakes existed in the form of “turbidites”, deep sea deposits sometimes triggered by earthquakes

Geologic evidence of great earthquakes is abundant in the form of trees killed by saline incursion, and the peat-bay mud couplets formed by each earthquake.

Cascadia submarine canyon systems
traverse the locked zone, making them
sensitive to ground shaking. They are, for
the most part, isolated from river systems
during high-stand conditions

What actually happens during the earthquake?
Synchronous turbidity currents are triggered within a few minutes of each other along the length of the margin
![Page 7: Long-Term Paleoseismology in Cascadia: Probabilities ...dels.nas.edu/dels/resources/static-assets/besr/miscellaneous/BESR... · Cascadia: Probabilities, Clustering, and patterns of](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030920/5b77f3607f8b9aee298e141f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Turbidites are easy to
capture, but what do
they mean?
![Page 8: Long-Term Paleoseismology in Cascadia: Probabilities ...dels.nas.edu/dels/resources/static-assets/besr/miscellaneous/BESR... · Cascadia: Probabilities, Clustering, and patterns of](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030920/5b77f3607f8b9aee298e141f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cascadia Core Sites:
1999 = gray, 2002 = yellow
Older existing cores = white
Washington Channels defined by 12 days of multibeam survey, now
un-classified!
Turbidite Paleoseismology:
Extending the earthquake record
So our primary criteria for distinguishing earthquakes are
1) Aerial extent
2) Synchroneity, and
3) Sedimentology.
Synchronous means within a few minutes to hours at most…
14C dating gets us only to within a few decades at best, usually not that good.
So how do we constrain relative timing to within a few hours?
Cheat!

Detailed correlations are constructed from high-resolution physical property data collected from the
cores, including magnetic susceptibility (high and low), gamma density, P-wave velocity, resistivity,
and CT imagery.

In addition to the confluence test, we correlate turbidites between remote sites to
establish continuity, and test for synchronous triggering.
Correlations are made on the basis of grain-size/physical property “fingerprints”
within a 14C age framework
![Page 11: Long-Term Paleoseismology in Cascadia: Probabilities ...dels.nas.edu/dels/resources/static-assets/besr/miscellaneous/BESR... · Cascadia: Probabilities, Clustering, and patterns of](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030920/5b77f3607f8b9aee298e141f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
CT imagery is invaluable for understanding turbidite structure and defining stratigraphic boundaries in detail. This image breaks out the sand fraction,
the silt fraction, and the hemipelagic clay by their respective CT density values.
The CT can reveal such subtle features as a worm burrow which is apparently lined with material slightly more dense than its surroundings (biogenic clay)

Correlation is done using oil industry techniques such as stretching and squeezing “ghost traces” to examine correlations, and flattening the correlation diagram to event horizons. Correlations supported by numerous radiocarbon ages.

Cascadia: The Movie
This sequence shows the Cascadia Holocene earthquake sequence.
The slides are timed at 1 sec ~ 200 years.
Event pulses that correlate at all sites are shown by flashes of the “locked zone” in red. Event “size” shown by intensity of red shading

Rupture lengths from paleoseismic data, past 10,000 years. Segment boundaries are roughly compatible with ETS segment boundaries proposed by Brudzinski et al., 2007, though both sets of boundaries are quite crude.

For the northern margin,
probabilities are relatively
low, many intervals longer
than 360 years are in the
paleoseismic record.
The reliability analysis
suggests at 360 years, 25%
of repeat times will have
been exceeded. Conditional
probability in 50 years is 14%
(12-17%).

For the southern margin, if our
interpretation is correct, 70-93%
of repeat times will have been
exceeded.
Conditional probability in 50
years is 37% (32-42%).
Portland is in between these
extremes, with a recurrence of ~
340 years, and 50 year
probability of ~ 20%. (This is a
slight increase, 2016 Marine
Geology paper)

What about clustering?
There seems to be a poorly
developed clustering, suggested
here.
It certainly makes a difference
whether the next expected event
is part of a cluster or not, if
clusters exist, and if the next
event reflects a repeat of recent
behavior.
In cluster 50 year probabilities are
~ 25%, not in a cluster, ~ 2%.
Clustering seems better
developed in the latter half of the
Holocene. If a repeat were to
occur, a gap may be next.

Longer records would help answer some of the obvious questions such as whether clustering is a long term feature, or if our “short” 10ka record is
random.
The instrument already exists, and the experiment has already been run.
