Numerical modelling of a Cascadia Subduction Zone tsunami at the Canadian Coast Guard base in Victoria, British Columbia / by Isaac V. Fine … [et al.]. : Fs97-18/324E-PDF
"The last major megathrust earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) off the west coast of North America occurred in January 1700. The massive tsunami waves generated by this moment magnitude (Mw) 9.0 event caused significant destruction as far away as Japan on the opposite side of the Pacific Ocean. Future CSZ events pose a high risk for destructive tsunamis for the British Columbia coast. This work uses a nested-grid numerical tsunami model to predict the tsunami waves and currents at Victoria generated by a Mw 9.0 CSZ failure. Two updated earthquake source models are used: A buried rupture model (A) and a splay-fracture model (B). Both models include new source areas to the west of Vancouver Island. The analysis is in anticipation of upgrades and modernization of the Canadian Coast Guard base at Victoria"--Abstract, p. iv.
