Researchers are using ocean-bottom and land-based seismometers to record the R/V Marcus Langseth’s soundings from afar, to better understand the potential impacts of large earthquakes in the Cascadia region.

Using sound and a 7.5-mile-long streamer towed behind the boat, scientists can collect a tremendous amount of data from under the seafloor.

Before embarking on a 6-week voyage to scan for Cascadia’s megathrust fault, the research team had to quarantine for two weeks in a hotel.

Researchers have set sail to find and map a fault that causes giant earthquakes in the Pacific Northwest.

In mid-October, Oregon’s Clark glacier was honored with a funeral and calls to protect the state’s often overlooked glaciers.
