Emilie is a geophysicist studying the structure of the Cascadia subduction zone and how magma is transported from Earth’s mantle to the surface. She has led numerous field expeditions and her current research uses novel, dense geophysical data sets and inverse modeling on high performance computers. Emilie is an Associate Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Oregon. For Emilie, this project represents an exciting opportunity to create a detailed model of the geology and topography of the megathrust to better understand the along-strike segmentation of locking at Cascadia and the transition from shallow locking to deep stable sliding.
