Up close with the Cascadia Subduction Zone

SEATTLE -- An ocean exploration right off the Washington coast  last month was the first of its kind! A team of experts on board an exploration vessel used Remote Operated Vehicles to search along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, mapping methane seeps, marine life, and the overall ecology of the area.

Lindsay Holladay of the Seattle Aquarium joined the expedition last month as a science communication fellow. She mediated a conversation with the public as they watched everything unfold in the live stream online,  which included questions about what their research might show about the possibility of an earthquake (experts have predicted "the big one" could hit the Puget Sound Region, stemming from the Cascadia Subduction Zone).
