Earthquakes can strike at any moment. On the final Season 1 episode of FieldSound, UW seismologists Harold Tobin and Audrey Dunham discuss the impending threat of “The Big One” - a large-scale earthquake that will strike along the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Tobin and Dunham also share recent advances in earthquake and tsunami preparedness for communities inland and along the coast in the Pacific Northwest.
Harold Tobin is a professor in the UW Department of Earth and Space Sciences and holds the Paros Endowed Chair in Seismology and Geohazards. He is also the Director of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, and the designated Washington State Seismologist, studying tectonic plate boundaries, how faults work, and the conditions that lead to earthquakes.
Audrey Dunham is a UW Department of Earth and Space Sciences Postdoctoral Scholar working with the Cascadia Coastlines and Peoples Hazards Research Hub (CoPes Hub) focused on ground motion simulations of potential Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquakes and quantifying hazards for coastal communities in the Pacific Northwest.
The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network is supported by the Friends of Earthquakes fund.
