Seafloor Geomorphology, Gas and Fluid flow, and slope Failure on the Southern Cascadia Continental Margin

Abstract

The objective of this project is to evaluate the role of fluid flow, overpressuring, and gas migration in the creation and moderation of submarine geomorphology. This project addresses questions about: 1) the lateral and vertical extent of detectable overpressued fluids and gas in the subsurface, 2) gas-related structures and manifestations of flow on the surface, 3) seafloor geomorphology related to gas and fluid expulsion, and 4) structural controls on gas and fluid conduits and ex%ulsion sites.
