The great Tohoku earthquake and tsunami of 2011 has reminded us of the hazards to life and property that attend such events, and of the need for a focused scientific effort to understand both their causes and effects. Cascadia, which extends from northern California to southern British Columbia, will be the site of a future great earthquake that will affect a number of large metropolitan centers, including Seattle and Portland. The Cascadia Initiative is an effort to gain a better understanding of seismicity in the region that includes the deployment of an array of instruments both onshore and offshore. Several ancillary studies are also planned or under way; one such study is a sophisticated 3D (three dimensional) seismic survey to be carried out off the coast of Washington. The suite of 2D seismic profiles that will be acquired by this project will provide essential data for planning and carrying out the 3D survey. The chief broader impact of this study is the very high societal relevance of gaining an improved understanding of the seismic risk in this region.

2011年的伟大的Tohoku地震和海啸使我们想起了参加此类事件的生命和财产的危害，以及需要进行专注的科学努力来了解其原因和影响。卡斯卡迪亚（Cascadia）从北加州到不列颠哥伦比亚省南部，将成为未来大地震的地点，该地震将影响包括西雅图和波特兰在内的许多大都市中心。 Cascadia倡议是为了更好地了解该地区的地震性，其中包括部署在陆上和海上的一系列工具。还计划或正在进行一些辅助研究；一项这样的研究是在华盛顿海岸进行的一项精致的3D（三维）地震调查。该项目将获得的2D地震概况套件将为计划和进行3D调查提供必不可少的数据。这项研究的主要广泛影响是对该地区的地震风险的了解非常高的社会意义。
