Unravelling The Dance Of Earthquakes - Evidence Of Partial Synchronization Of The Northern San Andreas Fault And Cascadia Megathrust
--
https://doi.org/10.1130/GES02857.1 <-- shared paper
--
“Previous paleoseismic work has suggested a possible stress triggering relationship between the Cascadia subduction zone and the northern San Andreas fault based on similar event timings. Turbidite successions correlated to both systems may support this hypothesis. Historic earthquakes in 1980 and 1992 in the Cascadia subduction zone and the 1906 earthquake on the northern San Andreas fault left turbidite records that are temporally well constrained by bomb-carbon−supported age-depth models..."
