- Title
On Borrowed Time: North America's Next Big Quake.
- Authors
Edgington, David W.
- Abstract
There is no better place to study earthquakes than right here in the southwest of British Columbia (BC), Canada's earthquake country. These include the off-shore Cascadia subduction zone, which produces a catastrophic magnitude 9.0 earthquake and coastal tsunami every 500 years or so, as well as shallow crustal quakes and deep intra-slab quakes. While this is not a strictly academic study, Craigie uses his journalism skills to pose pertinent questions to seismologists, engineers, and earthquake survivors, as well as scrutinizing many reports and web sources.
