Nature : After extracting and analyzing more than 80 core samples from the sea floor off the coast of America’s Pacific Northwest, Chris Goldfinger of Oregon State University and his colleagues have concluded that the chance of the region being hit by an earthquake of at least magnitude 8 has more than doubled to 37%. Goldfinger’s study will appear soon in a report published by the US Geological Survey.
