Welcome! You’ve found your way to the Research Group website of Dr. Emily Roland at WWU. of We are interested in exploring how the structure of the Earth influences natural hazards such as earthquakes, landslides and tsunamis. Research in this lab considers scales spanning the shallow subsurface to the lithosphere. Much of our work is focused on observing the earth from beneath the oceans, using tools like ocean bottom seismometers, sonar mapping systems, marine seismic imaging tools, and other geophysical techniques. However, geologic and tectonic process often cross shorelines, so we also work in terrestrial settings with the goal of connecting observations and processes across continental margins.
Check out the Research page for current projects, and Opportunities if you are a student interested in joining the lab or looking for outside experiences related to geology, geophysics or marine science.
