#ICYMI: The United States Department of Defense recently announced the selection of 11 university scientists and engineers to fill the 2024 class of the Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship (VBFF), the DoD's flagship single-investigator award for basic research. The department will support the 2024 class with up to $33 million to explore the frontiers of knowledge and advance transformative, fundamental research at their respective universities. Named for Dr. Vannevar Bush, who played a monumental role in shaping the defense research enterprise as the director of the Office of Scientific Research and Development after World War II, the VBFF nurtures high-risk and innovative ideas that push scientists toward breakthrough discoveries.

PRAx and the College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences - Oregon State University Present: Rising on Friday September 27 at 7 p.m. in Detrick Hall. Enjoy an evening that brings together a Grammy-nominated chamber trio, a New York City-based dance company, and the voices of ocean scientists.

Between 70 and 100 miles off the coasts of southern British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and northern California lies the Cascadia subduction zone: a 600-mile-long strip hosting a “megathrust” fault capable of generating 9.0+ magnitude earthquakes and tsunamis 100 feet high. To bring this hazardous fault into sharper focus, a team of NSF-funded researchers led by Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory used seismic instruments to “peer” under the seafloor, characterizing the geometry of the overlying sediments of the subducting Juan de Fuca plate, as well as the structure of the overriding North American plate. The team discovered that the megathrust fault is not one continuous structure but rather four segments, each potentially unaffected by movements from the others. This means that movement on one of the segments could be buffered from movement on another. Insights like this can help scientists forecast probabilities of multiple earthquake scenarios, which in turn helps authorities who design building codes and warning systems minimize natural hazard damage and ultimately save lives.
