GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANT

Emma Martin applies seismic imaging techniques to identify and characterize subsurface geologic structures shaped by tectonic processes using both reflection and refraction seismic methods. She earned her B.S. in Marine and Coastal Sciences from Western Washington University in June 2024 and is particularly interested in geophysical imaging and tectonic processes shaping the world’s oceans. Her current research focuses on the Puerto Rico Trench, where she works to image features associated with plate subduction. When she’s not studying the ocean’s geologic features, she enjoys spending time on the water, hiking, and sharing her love for marine science with others.
