Challenges and opportunities for research in tectonics: Understanding deformation and the processes that link Earth systems, from geologic time to human time. A community vision document submitted to the U.S. National Science Foundation.
(University of Washington, 2018)Geoscience is an inherently interdisciplinary endeavor, and one of the most interdisciplinary geosciences is tectonics. Embracing experimental, observational, and theoretical perspectives, tectonics focuses on the interactions ... -
Decoding ice sheet behavior using englacial layer slopes - Supporting Data
(Geophysical Research Letters - AGU, 2017-05-09)This archive contains radar data referenced in the paper "Decoding ice sheet behavior using englacial layer slopes", published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. -
gnss-ir derived accumulation history at the GNSS sites LTHW, UTHW, and KHLR maintained by unavco and the polenet team.
(2022-05-17)Accumulation time series were determined using GNSS interferometric reflectometry and MCMC inverse methods. Sites include KHLR, LTHW, and UTHW long-term GNSS stations on the Thwaites and Kohler glaciers. Included are the ... -
Ice-sheet height and thickness changes from ICESat to ICESat-2.
(2020)These data represent ice-column thickness-change-rate estimates based on data from NASA's ICESat and ICESat-2 satellites. These data aided the first estimates of ice-sheet mass change from these two missions, spanning the ... -

(2019)This archive contains profile and gridded radar data referenced in the paper "Linking postglacial landscapes to glacier dynamics using swath radar at Thwaites Glacier, Antarctica", published in the journal Geology in 2019. -
Long Beach Berm Modeling Study
(2018-03-28)A berm design was developed for compatibility with guidelines published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for vertical evacuation structures; the design utilized the maximum flooding depth results of a ... -
Modeling Study of a Proposed Vertical Evacuation Structure Site for the Shoalwater Bay Tribe Final Project Report
(2020-02)A Maximum Considered Tsunami (MCT) scenario was developed that includes projected sea level rise of 0.47 m over 75 years and a magnitude 9 tsunamigenic earthquake on the Cascadia Subduction Zone; development of the scenario ... -
