We are nine USGS earth scientists who work primarily on geologic hazards in the Pacific Northwest, Hawaii, and in similar geologic settings around the world. In addition to our common interest in natural hazards, we share partnership with the University of Washington in Seattle, particularly with the Earth and Space Sciences department, the Quaternary Research Center, and the school of Oceanography. Our current research directly benefits from this UW-USGS partnership. To contact us, please refer to our staff page.

For detailed information on current and historic earthquake activity in the Pacific Northwest, you can visit the Geophysics Program's Earthquake Information web sites. An excellent overview of ongoing research related to reducing losses from future large earthquakes in the Pacific Northwest is available from the U.S. Geological Survey.
