Carbonate cements indicate channeled fluid flow along a zone of vertical faults at the deformation front of the Cascadia accretionary wedge (northwest U.S. coast)

Sedimentary rocks were collected from a vertical fault zone that transects the deformation front of the Cascadia accretionary wedge in order to help understand the relationship between fluid seeps and structures. The research findings are discussed.
