 Final
Project
2008
 An
Investigation
of
the
Cascadia
Subduction
Zone
 
 A
3’
x
4’
poster
presenting
geophysical
and
geological
observations
that
increase
our
 understanding
of
processes
occurring
within
the
Cascadia
Subduction
Zone.
 Due:
Finals
week
–
posted
on
the
ground
floor
walls
of
Johnson
and
orally
 presented.
The
poster
will
be
printed
for
you
from
an
electronic
file
submitted
no
 later
than
Monday
morning
Dec.
8.
PowerPoint
is
the
preferred
source
application.
 Content
Requirements:


 1. The
interpretation
must
make
use
of
more
than
one
source
of
geophysical
or
 geologic
observations
(gravity,
magnetics,
heat
flow,
seismic,
geodetic,
 mapped
units
and
structures).
 
 2. At
least
one
figure
presenting
data
must
be
created
specifically
for
this
 project.

You
cannot
simply
cut
and
paste
from
previously
published
sources
 
 3. The
scope
of
your
effort
can
be

 a. “regional”
–
looking
at
processes
acting
over
the
entire
Cascadia
 region
(examples:
what
are
the
large
scale
trends
of
gravity
and
 magnetics
and
how
do
they
relate
to
subduction
and
geologic
 structures?

How
do
geodetic
times
series
correlate
with
patterns
of
 seismicity?
)
 b. “local”
–
examining
a
specific
area
to
elucidate
its
origin
or
evolution
 in
the
context
of
the
larger
scale
processes
(examples:
Why
has
the
 Seattle
Basin
formed?

What
is
the
relationship
between
the
Benioff
 zone
and
seismicity
under
Mt
St
Helens?
).
 The
poster
must
include
clearly
delineated
sections:
 1. Title,
your
name
and
affiliation
with
ESS
403
“Global
tectonics”
 2. Abstract
 3. Description
of
a
“problem”
and
your
“methodology
“
 4. Presentation
of
data
(observations
from
various
sources)
in
the
form
of

 a. graphics
(images
and/or
graphs)
and

 b. text
(discussion
of
what
is
in
the
graphics)
 5. Articulation
of
a
theoretical
context
 6. Linkage
between
theory
and
data
to
show
either
success
(or
failure)
of
 the
ideas
to
explain
the
data
 7. Summary
of
Conclusions
 8. Sources
cited
or
used
in
creation
of
the
poster
