🌊πŸ§ͺπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Working from small boats in #Antarctica πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ά to collect surface water samples for trace element analysis. Tia Anderlini on CBC's The National working in Admiralty Bay, South Shetland Islands. @seos-uvic.bsky.social @uvicscience.bsky.social youtu.be/XNyi9C2n1Hg?...

With all of these recent felt #earthquakes, many people are asking "does this mean the big one is coming?". These earthquakes are not connected - some are shallow, some deep, all are on different faults and even different tectonic plates. They are far from the locked subduction fault. So no... βš’οΈπŸ§ͺ

Worried that the recent earthquakes in Victoria are a sign that the "Big One" is coming? It's unlikely, according to @seos-uvic.bsky.social professor Lucinda Leonard. "There's no reason to think that changes in these stresses will trigger the next 'Big One'." vancouversun.com/news/bc-eart...

#earthquake just now in #yyj Victoria

That was quite the shake here in #Victoria πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ at 05:02 PT. M4.6 near Orcas Island, 45 km ENE from Victoria and 70 km from Vancouver. Felt all across southwest BC and northwest WA. Details and to report shaking: www.earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/recent/2025/...

Feb. 28, 2001 (at 10:54 a.m.), a damaging M6.8 earthquake rocked Seattle, rolled Victoria and was felt across southern BC and the #PacificNorthwest. This was a deep #earthquake in the subducting Juan de Fuca plate. See links to presentations and a Q+A session at: pnsn.org/blog/2021/02... βš’οΈπŸ§ͺ

Did you hear @earthquakeguy.bsky.social on CBC Radio Victoria On the Island yesterday talking about our recent #earthquake? Listen here about how the energy released when the earth moves is measured www.cbc.ca/listen/live-... www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

🌊πŸ§ͺ @tiaanderlini.bsky.social defended her PhD on Feb. 14th and almost immediately headed south to join this expedition. A Canadian πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ first where one of our vessels is conducting science around #Antarctica. Very exciting. Go Tia! @uvicscience.bsky.social

🌊πŸ§ͺ Canadian scientists are traveling to #Antarctica and the Southern Ocean under the Canadian flag πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ for the first time. Our @tiaanderlini.bsky.social is onboard studying trace element chemistry. @uvicscience.bsky.social @geotraces.bsky.social youtu.be/zK4Rw5zcPEY?...

Many thanks to the 1000’s of people who submitted felt shaking reports for Friday's M4.7 earthquake. www.earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/dyfi-lavr/fo... #CitizenScience data tells us about shaking from this earthquake and also provides a link with earthquakes past (pre-instrumental) and future! βš’οΈπŸ§ͺ

These are images I captured in Archer Fiord Ellesmere Island this past summer aboard the icebreaker CCGS Amundsen. We were studying the impact of tide water glaciers on seawater chemistry 🌊 πŸ§ͺ

New paper by Lei Zhao, visiting PhD student at @seos-uvic.bsky.social, on the devastating 2023 Herat, Afghanistan earthquakes. We show how subtle bends in fault geometry broke the sequence into its five successive M6 EQs, preventing a single through-going rupture. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Did you know that in southwestern #BritishColumbia, tectonic plates are moving at about the same speed your fingernails grow and that we get 3 types of #earthquakes here? Every day, small earthquakes are recorded (1000+/year). For details, see: www.earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/pprs-pprp/pu... βš’οΈπŸ§ͺ
