Who am I
I’m Asif Ashraf, a PhD candidate in Earth Sciences at the University of Oregon, specializing in geophysical imaging to uncover Earth’s subsurface structures and the dynamic processes shaping our planet.
My current research centers on the Cascadia Subduction Zone, one of the most geologically active and intricate tectonic regions in the world.
I use active source ship-borne seismic data collected on nodal, broadband, ocean bottom seismometers to develop high-resolution 3D tomographic model of Cascadia subduction zone
My tomographic model illuminates shallow part of the subduction zone
My research journey has been an incredible adventure, blending my passion for science with the thrill of exploring extraordinary places around the globe.
Galapagos, Ecuador
Yet, my heart belongs to the Cascadia Subduction Zone—a fascinating region that lies at the core of my geophysics research.
This dynamic and complex system fuels my curiosity and drives my quest to uncover the secrets beneath the Earth's surface.
My latest project involves analyzing active seismic data to image the Cascade coastal ranges
