La zona di subduzione dell'Alaska-Aleutine è una delle regioni sismicamente più attive al mondo, con una storia di terremoti di megathrust che hanno raggiunto una magnitudo di 9,2 (il terremoto dell'Alaska del 1964). I terremoti più potenti al mondo si verificano proprio lungo queste megathrust di subduzione e rappresentano quindi un grave pericolo per le comunità costiere. La sismicità in queste zone di subduzione si manifesta in modo diverso lungo il margine ed è in parte determinata dalla batimetria e dalla geometria della porzione di litosfera in immersione, che varia anch'essa lungo la direzione del margine. È quindi importante comprendere la geometria della litosfera in subduzione per comprendere meglio i rischi sismici lungo una faglia di subduzione. -- Per ottenere immagini della complessa geometria del fondale marino, sono stati acquisiti profili sismici multicanale utilizzando la sorgente da 6600 cu. in. del Langseth e due streamer da 8 km, sia perpendicolari che paralleli alla fossa. La porzione in acque profonde di una linea normale alla fossa e di una linea parallela alla fossa è stata elaborata e interpretata per trarre conclusioni sulle implicazioni che la geometria del fondale marino avrà sulla sismicità futura.
