About This Project

Research Now generates best available science to inform policy decisions.Research Now proposes a scientific investigation of two recently discovered faults, Skipjack Island and Sandy Point. New knowledge will lead to better understanding of seismic hazards near the proposed Gateway Pacific Terminal site at Cherry Point, WA -- near the US-Canadian border. If built, it would be the largest coal transport facility in North America.
