@ingalls yes, it could be in the top, but i suspect that, if in the jdf plate, it might be in the lower part because the plate is starting to bend here (causing extension in upper part and compression in lower part).
after i posted this, the depth got closer to the megathrust interface depth, so i began to think that this may be on the megathrust itself.

read our paper on slip deficits calculated for megathrust and crustal faults in southern #Cascadia subduction zone & #Mendocino triple junction in northern #California
we used 3 geodetic datasets: GNSS, benchmark leveling, tide gage
Today, #TEKTONIKA #DOAJ has published its first paper ! 🎉

@wearetektonika @earthjay @RobinLacassin As one of the reviewers of this work, I am thrilled to see my review report published in #openaccess, along with the paper. This is a big step forward toward #transparency of the #peerreview process, and recognition of the work involved in reviewing scientific papers. Congratulations to the authors for their paper, and to @wearetektonika editors for their work!
