Introduction west urban areas during M9 subduction scenario earthquakes on the Cascadia megathrust by simulating wave propagation from an ensemble of kinematic source descriptions. Velocities and densities The Cascadia subduction zone, which extends in our computational mesh are defined by integrating the regional from the Mendocino Triple Junction northwards to Cascadia Community Velocity Model (CVM) v1.6 (Stephenson et al. P-and S-wave velocity models incorporating the Cascadia Vancouver Island, marks the * 1000 km long subduction zone for 3D earthquake ground motion simulations— boundary between the Juan de Fuca (JdF) plate to the update for open-file report 2007–1348, US Geological Survey, west and the North American (NA) plate to the east 2017) including the ocean water layer with a local velocity model of the Georgia basin (Molnar, Predicting earthquake ground (Fig. 1). The paleoseismic record shows that the shaking due to 1D soil layering and 3D basin structure in SW Cascadia subduction zone has repeatedly produced British Columbia, Canada, 2011), including additional near-surface large megathrust earthquakes (M TI - Numerical Simulation of M9 Megathrust Earthquakes in the Cascadia Subduction Zone JF - Pure and Applied Geophysics DO - 10.1007/s00024-018-2085-5 DA - 2019-01-10 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/numerical-simulation-of-m9-megathrust-earthquakes-in-the-cascadia-L0YkIhgGe5 SP - 1 EP - 17 VL - OnlineFirst IS - DP - DeepDyve ER -
