Erin is a research geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Seattle, and an affiliate assistant professor at the University of Washington. Erin’s research focuses on earthquake hazards associated with the Cascadia Subduction Zone, and the amplification of earthquake ground shaking in sedimentary basins. One of the aspects of this project that Erin is most excited about is using the data to constrain sedimentary basin structure, and how that will impact future earthquake ground shaking in the Tualatin Valley and Portland region.
