Fiedorowicz for the Master of Science in Geology presented June 5, 1997. Title: Geologic Evidence of Historic and Prehistoric Tsunami Inundation at Seaside, Oregon Over the past decade, research conducted along the Cascadia subduction zone coast established evidence for coseismic subsidence, liquefaction, and nearfield tsunami deposition. Seaside is a low lying northern Oregon coastal city potentially at risk for nearfield tsunami inundation from a Cascadia earthquake.
