Jason R. Patton

Greetings tooters!

this account is for Dr. Jason "Jay" R. Patton (aka EarthJay) and I march for science.

His main education/outreach effort is voluntarily writing up posts on earthjay.com. These are for and events of interest, sorted in different ways; sorted by year here: earthjay.com/?page_id=3220

they are an engineering geologist (PG license 9758) who serves the public while at the California Geological Survey, Seismic Hazards and Tsunami programs. conservation.ca.gov/cgs/

he has been studying the tectonics of the Cascadia subduction zone (a convergent plate boundary fault system) for over 25 years (MS thesis at cal poly humboldt, dept geology). he is an adjunct professor at this dept. geology.humboldt.edu/

they studied marine sedimentary records (submarine landslide deposits called turbidites) of earthquakes offshore of Sumatra/Cascadia for my marine geology & geophysics PhD at oregon state university. ceoas.oregonstate.edu/

capital letters are over rated but chocolate and oxford commas are not.

well, all day i have had it in my mind that the mag was M 7.4 and that is what i wrote for the ground failure and intensity interpreti e posters.

they are updated online and here is a tweet showing them.

here is the :

for M 7.4 offshore of

compressional (thrust) earthquake
generated tsunami
@USGS_Quakes models suggest high chance for liquefaction
triggered slip near interface (?)

for M7.6 offshore of the

generated ~10cm amplitude (20cm wave height) tsunami at Davao Tide Gage (which is in a somewhat sheltered location compared to epicenter so probably larger tsunami along coast)

Updated neotectonic map of the Cascadia margin is released!

faults, folds, and other tectonic features are mapped relative to the age of their most recent activity
