I took a chance buying and reading this 'earthquake & tsunami' book. Most of the information in it I was already aware of. But it is OK for someone just now looking into the subject. The author puts forward the case for the certainty that the Pacific Juan de Fuca plate pushing under the coastal area of Vancouver, Washington state and Oregon (North America plate subduction zone) will (again) result in an earthquake and tsunami on a par with the Sumatra quake and tsunami of Dec 2004. The event affected not only that immediate area of Indonesia, but also the entire North Indian Ocean basin. Deaths were in the hundred thousands.A considerable part of the book tells of evidence that points towards much earlier (pre-historic) quakes/tsunamis at 'Cascadia.'
This book is frequently recommended for people who live on the west coast of North America, especially from northern California into northern British Columbia in Canada, as residents of those areas are at risk for earthquake disasters, especially tsunamis from the Cascadia subduction fault. This fault line runs north of the San Andreas fault and appears capable of generating a 9+ earthquake and tsunami about every 500 years. The book covers the painstaking development of the awareness of the danger the fault represents and the emerging awareness generally as to the causes and characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis. This is a worldwide endeavor and the author covers the international scientific community that has led to the understanding of these events, with the close study of the recent historical events in Sumatra, Chile and Japan providing new insights into what can happen in these disasters, how they are similar and how they can differ. Of particular interest to me was the descriptions of the sharing of information among earthquake specialists internationally so that everybody benefitted from the information that became available through close study of these events. I was also very interested in the practical applications that different communities made to reduce the risks to the residents of these earthquake prone areas, especially when trying to educate the people about rapid evacuation to higher ground if they are in a coastal area when they experience a severe earthquake. The death toll in the 2004 earthquake and tsunami was partly due to the people not being aware of the risk of the tsunami until it was too late to get far enough away from the coastal area to be safe. I was very interested in learning how this knowledge is being used for the planning of mitigation for these events. This covers everything from developing quake resistant building codes to educating and training the populations of these coastal areas as to the importance of rapid evacuation of the lowlands in the event of an earthquake. Highly recommended.
Jerry Thompson treats the scientific effort to uncover the secrets of the Cascadia subduction zone into something akin to an adventure novel. It is thus understandable to both the scientists and the lay reader. A first rate job of investigation and story telling.
When you walked out of the front door of our beach house in NW Lincoln City OR, there was a plaque in the street, "Tsunami Zone". Didn't know how serious they were1 Great book, super research! VERY interesting, and when fact checked, validated itself. Scary! Read book with a pencil, you'll want to refer back to it when the "big one" hits. Thanks Jerry! Dave (in Colorado)
Cascadia's Fault addresses a probable scenario of a 9.0+ earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone from N. California to Vancouver Island, BC, followed by a tsunami that could rise as much as a 60 storey building at shorelineAlong the entire zone. Developing the potential risk from many different studies, indicating this subduction followed by a tsunami has occurred at a regular frequency over thousands of years, causing the shoreline to shrink. Jerry Thompson meticulously details studies done from many different angles, including studies of the history of Tsunamis in Japan, correlated with verbal records from Native North Americans regarding the tsunamis.If you have a scientific bent, or are interested in disaster preparation, this is an excellent book. If you live in a coastal area, you might begin to study the elevation of the land in your area relative to the location of your house. The appeal of the book is much broader than that.
This is the second book I've read about the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The first was a novel called Saving Cascadia which was about what happens when an mega-quake strikes the Seattle area.I've read a number of books on western North America geology; Basin and Range, The Big Rip, etc, this is a good one. Technical enough to be useful but broad enough to be readable.I wonder which will happen first? A Cascadia mega quake, Yellowstone eruption or New Madrid quake. I hope none of them happen during my lifetime.
This is an essential book about the very real threat of a mega-earthquake and mega-tsunami off the coast in the Pacific Northwest. The book documents the evidence and describes the chronology of discovery leading to the realization of the enormous hazard. I would have liked the author the spend more time on the frequencies of quakes in the area and especially the expected imminence of the coming humongous quake, but overall, anyone in the area living at low elevation who reads this book will definitely, and justifiably, consider moving the higher ground immediately.
