Cascadia M9
Subduction Rupture

The Pacific Northwest megaquake. 1,000 km fault. 4–6 minutes of violent shaking. Tsunami in 15 minutes. FEMA projects 13,000+ dead — the deadliest natural disaster in American history. Last rupture: January 26, 1700.

Great Salt Lake
Toxic Dust Crisis

800 square miles of exposed lakebed — loaded with arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, and uranium. Wind events drive toxic dust east into the Wasatch Valley where 1.2 million people live. A 2026 USU study found arsenic and uranium in leafy crops even after washing. The lake needs 10 more feet of water. That could take decades. The dust is already here.

The TerraSense Mission

Pioneer all fronts.
Leave no one behind.

"TerraSense exists to pioneer earth intelligence — making disaster preparedness universally accessible, advancing environmental science literacy, and building the world's most accurate public simulation — for everyone, simultaneously, with no one left behind."

01
Education before revenue.
Monetization exists to sustain the mission. The mission does not exist to sustain the business.
02
No audience is secondary.
There is one version of the truth. Everyone gets it. No second-class users.
03
Accuracy is non-negotiable.
We will say we don't know yet before we say something inaccurate.
04
Awe is not decoration. It is the mechanism.
Awe is how knowledge becomes motivation. Motivation is how people prepare.
05
Pioneer means uncomfortable.
We are not finding a better path. We are making one that did not exist.
