I’m incredibly proud of my undergraduate mentee, Ashley Martinez, who presented her research at the UW Undergraduate Symposium on May 17, 2024. Her project, titled “Comparative Analysis of Geomorphic Markers: Synthetic Landscapes vs. Remote Observations of Strike-Slip Faulting in Northern Chile,” was a great contribution to the symposium.
Ashley created a high-resolution DEM using structure-from-motion data of the Salar Grande Fault zone, gaining technical skills learning how to use Agisoft and ArcGIS Pro. I had the pleasure of serving as her main mentor, working closely with her under the supervision of my advisor, Alison Duvall.
We connected through the IBIS program, and this was Ashley’s first research experience as a junior majoring in Environmental Science and Terrestrial Resource Management (ESRM). She did an outstanding job!
Great job, Ashley!
