Cascadia Magnitude 9 Earthquake Scenario
Embedded Files
Below is my final project for ENVS-418 (Cartography) at Western Washington University. I compiled data on the potential M9 mega-thrust earthquake that is looming over the entirety of Cascadia and put together a maps series showing where damage is likely to be the most concentrated.
For this project, I also made an associated storymap, check that out here: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/6410c8495f3e4c35bf91217ad005e9eb
