Improving Subduction Zone Hazards Assessments Using the Stratigraphic Record
 
Abstract: Climate-driven sea-level is increasing flood risks worldwide, but sudden land subsidence from great (>M8) earthquakes remain an overlooked factor. Along the Washington, Oregon, and northern California coasts, the next Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) earthquake could cause 0.5-2 m of rapid subsidence, dramatically expanding floodplains and exposing communities to heightened flooding hazards.
