Ethan Losasso is an Earth and Atmospheric Sciences undergraduate student with interests in geophysics and environmental science, planning to graduate in Spring of 2023. Last semester, he began research with Dr. Andrew Newman with the goal of developing a tool that uses Python code to produce interactive bathymetric maps of the area around the Puerto Rico trench, which can then be analyzed to produce slip models for normal faulting events in the outer rise, which are useful for evaluating tsunami generation potential. After applying for and receiving the Rutt Bridges Award, he is continuing this research through the Spring 2022 semester, working towards a publishable final product. He is also involved in Outdoor Recreation at Georgia Tech (ORGT) as a rock climbing instructor-in-training and is a member of the Georgia Tech Climbing Club team. Outside of school, he enjoys hiking, climbing, playing bass guitar, and spending time in the outdoors.
