The USGS is offering a Cooperative Agreement for a CESU-affiliated partner to conduct critical research on tectonically active continental margins. This grant aims to understand the complex linkages between subaqueous tectonic geomorphology, tsunami generation, and fault damage zones through cross-disciplinary collaboration. The USGS seeks to develop observational frameworks connecting earthquake physics, active fault zone properties, and 3D structure. This study is crucial for the Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Programs (CMHRP) mission, focusing on identifying and characterizing marine geohazards like earthquakes, tsunamis, and submarine landslides, and developing probabilistic hazard assessments. Results will also benefit the offshore energy industry, wastewater infrastructure, and maritime commerce.

| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research on tectonically active continental margins. Specifically, we seek to understand linkages between subaqueous tectonic geomorphology, tsunami generations and fault damage zones through a cross-disciplinary collaboration. The USGS is interested in developing observational frameworks that tie earthquake physics and the constitutive properties of active fault zones, to 3D structure and geomorphology. The extent of distributed damage surrounding faults affects an earthquake’s propagation, its associated strong motion, and perhaps even the distribution of slip, aftershocks, and slope failure around the fault. The goals of this study are part of the Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Programs (CMHRP) mission to identify and characterize marine geohazards (earthquakes, tsunamis, and submarine landslides) and to develop probabilistic hazard assessments for the nation. In addition, results from this study will provide information and data valuable to the offshore energy industry (both conventional and renewables), offshore municipal wastewater infrastructure, and maritime commerce associated with major ports. |
