Notes"Coastal marshes record a 6500 yr history of coseismic displacements in great earthquakes at the Cascadia subduction zone. We compiled estimates of coseismic displacement for past megathrust events based on correlations with megathrust-triggered turbidites, and estimated megathrust slip based on comparisons of marsh displacements with dislocation model predictions."
