Introduction
I'm a computational marine geophysicist. I study plate margins with a focus on the crust and upper mantle processes in subduction zones, rifted margins, and mid-ocean ridges using seismic and drilling data. I'm interested in developing and implementing state-of-the-art imaging and rock physics modeling techniques.

High‐resolution velocity models developed using full‐waveform inversion (FWI) can image fine details of the nature and structure of the subsurface. Using a 3D FWI velocity model of hyper‐thinned crust at the Deep Galicia Margin (DGM) west of Iberia, we constrain the nature of the crust at this margin by comparing its velocity structure with those i...
Full waveform inversion (FWI) is a data-fitting technique capable of generating high-resolution velocity models with a resolution down to half the seismic wavelength. FWI is applied typically to densely sampled seismic data. In this study, we applied FWI to 3D wide-angle seismic data acquired using sparsely spaced ocean bottom seismometers (OBSs) f...
The Galicia margin, west of Iberia, is one of the most studied magma-poor rifted margins to understand the rifting process leading to continental breakup. Seismic imaging has been instrumental in understanding rifting in the Galicia margin. In this work, I derived a high-resolution P-wave velocity model of the Deep Galicia margin (DGM) where the fi...
Plain Language Summary
New oceanic crust forms along mid‐ocean ridges from melt extracted from the upwelling mantle. Accretion of the upper crust is well understood, but the process involved in the accretion of the lower crust is still debated. Here we present new seismic images of the crustal magmatic system of the western Galápagos Spreading Cent...
