Northern Cascadia Subduction Zone Observatory (NCSZO): an interdisciplinary research initiative to assess tsunami and earthquake hazard from the Cascadia megathrust
Bibliographic record
Abstract
There is presently insufficient information to accurately assess the hazard posed by a tsunamigenic megathrust earthquake rupturing the Cascadia Subduction Zone in the Pacific Northwest. We report our plans to deploy a Northern Cascadia Subduction Zone Observatory (NCSZO) offshore Vancouver Island, Canada, which will comprise a seafloor network of seven new Global Positioning System sites to measure deformation caused by the subduction of the oceanic Juan de Fuca Plate beneath the continental North America Plate, and a Deformation Front Laboratory at the oceanic trench to monitor aseismic creep events on the shallow part of the plate interface. The NCSZO will make effective and sustainable use of the Ocean Networks Canada NEPTUNE observatory, and be complemented by the highest density of land-based seismic and high-rate geodetic stations in Canada. We expect the NCSZO will enable significant improvements of tsunami and earthquake risks assessments after only a few years of measurements.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
