However, studies that would help us understand these hazards are few and far between in this remote, sparsely populated region. A major new shoreline- crossing community seismic experiment spans the Alaska Peninsula subduction zone, with the intention of filling gaps in our knowledge of this region. Information that we collect along this margin can provide direct information about many first- order questions about subduction zone processes that influence earthquakes and volcanism.2019-10-0110180220Eos1001030-350096-3941https://doi.org/1654568National Science Foundation
