Friday afternoon feels.

Had such a blast talking about earthquakes to this super engaged class!

Dec. 6, 1918: A M7 #earthquake struck the west coast of #VancouverIsland . It caused damage in nearby communities, strong shaking in Victoria/Vancouver, and was felt as far away as the #BC interior and northern WA (and followed by many, many aftershocks). earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/historic-histo…

Our dedicated volunteer production team will take a well-deserved holiday break from Dec 11 to Jan 6, 2024.

Our website remains open, and submissions received during this time will be processed for initial checks and assigned handling editors after the break.

Happy Holidays!!

Thanks to the huge effort from our team that conducted this newly published study on the newly recognized XEOLXELEK-Elk Lake fault, crossing the #saanich peninsula north of #Victoria BC. Our study suggests this fault hosted a M 6.1–7.6 Holocene earthquake. See thread for more.

If you work on active faults that are challenging to study due to low strain rates and/or environmental factors such as recently glaciated landscapes or dense vegetation, please consider participating in our session at SSA 2024, April 29-May 4, in Anchorage!

Thanks to Adam Pascale for making us look cool 😎

The “Graveyard of the Pacific” is looking downright friendly today, as we start making our way back to Victoria.

'As scientists, we are increasingly being asked to tell the public the truth ... in simple and direct terms. The truth is that we are shocked by the ferocity of the extreme weather events in 2023. We are afraid of the uncharted territory that we have now entered.'

It's important to think about drop, cover, and hold on a group of protective actions. For instance, there are suggested actions if you use a cane, walker, in a wheelchair. If you are in bed, stay there. Here's a paper on it why this is the advice: library.seg.org/doi/full/10.11…
