The Cascadia Initiative is an ongoing experiment exploring the tectonic forces of the Cascadia subduction zone, and associated earthquakes and volcanism. Scientists from multiple disciplines have collaborated on this project which receives funding from the National Science Foundation. A special component of this scientific endeavor involves community outreach and education by engaging Community College and High School students with research based, real world, problem solving opportunities.

Making Sense of it All
We all survived the voyage on the New Horizon, even the stormy seas that knocked objects on the floors and tossed people into walls. All of the OBS's were successfully recovered and the scientists and technicians have begun the daunting task of calibrating and interpreting the data. Now as we compile the footage and decide how to present our wealth of knowledge and experience the bigger picture of our mission unfolds. How do we share this experience with the people of the North American West Coast in a way that is meaningful, informative, and not boring? Wish us luck and feel free to make comments!
