Renewal of Tidal Forests in Washington State after a Subduction Earthquake in A.D. 1700
Renewal of Tidal Forests in Washington State after a Subduction Earthquake in A.D. 1700
With few exceptions, today's tidal trees near Washington's Pacific coast postdate an earthquake that lowered the region by 1 m or more. The earthquake, which occurred in A.D. 1700, is the most recent to have ruptured much of the plate boundary at this central part of the Cascadia subduction zone. Because of the coseismic subsidence, lowland forests became tidal flats where thousands of trees died. Most of the trees killed were Sitka spruce ( Pice…
Relative sea-level change inferred from intertidal sediments beneath marshes on Vancouver Island, British Columbia
Tsunami Deposits Beneath Tidal Marshes on Northwestern Vancouver Island, British Columbia
Two sand sheets underlying tidal marshes at Fair Harbour, Neroutsos Inlet, and Koprino Harbour on the northwestern coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, were probably deposited by tsunamis. The sand sheets become thinner and finer-grained landward, drape former land surfaces, contain marine microfossils, are locally graded or internally stratified, and can be correlated with earthquakes that generated tsunamis in the region. 137 Cs dating …
