Pacific Northwest Seismic Network
The PNSN gathers and interprets seismic data from the Pacific Northwest to
study volcanoes, subduction, crustal faulting, and urban hazards. Recent
studies have focused on understanding non-volcanic tremor, mapping the
influence of the deep basins on shaking in urban centers, and tracking the
myriad manifestations of volcanic unrest.

The group studies diverse topics from the physics of earthquakes to
the Earth's deep interior, including inner core structure and
rotation, the inner soul of subduction, and the intimate relations of
stress and shaking and creep on fault rheology.
