Kenji Satake is a Japanese seismologist who has made significant contributions to subduction and tsunami research. Along with Brian Atwater and David Yamaguchi, Satake assembled disparate pieces of information regarding a Japanese tsunami that had no known origin. The three scientists worked together to pinpoint a date, time, and location for the 1700 Cascadia earthquake – 9 p.m on January 26, 1700 – on the Cascadia Subduction Zone off the Pacific Northwest coast of North America.[1]
