Bio/Research
Doug Toomey is a geophysicist and pioneer in the use of ocean-bottom seismology to study tectonic and volcanic processes at plate boundaries and hotspots. He is Oregon's lead participant in the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, a cooperative operation between the UO and the University of Washington to monitor earthquake and volcanic activity in the Pacific Northwest. He has led the push for increased seismic monitoring to strengthen Oregon's role in a full West Coast Earthquake Early Warning System. From 2011 to 2016 he was team leader of the Cascadia Initiative, a National Science Foundation-funded project that studied the offshore Cascadia Subduction Zone. He has led scientific oceanic expeditions around the world.
