Teeth from a relative of the Tyrannosaurus rex, bones from at least one large herbivore, the foot of a small meat-eater...

Congratulations to two of our graduate students, Emily Cross and @ltdickson on contributing to this amazing discovery!

What a great day to be out on the Salish Sea. Southern #VancouverIsland

[John Cassidy @earthquakeguy]

The offshore #VancouverIsland earthquake swarm continues today with a M6.1 #earthquake at 8:08 a.m. PT.
This earthquake was located ~200 km west of Tofino. Mild shaking was felt by a few people. No damage, no tsunami.

On a hot, summer day, nothing beats looking across the Salish Sea at a cool, snow-capped #volcano!
This is Koma Kulshan (Mt. Baker) today, as seen from southern #VancouverIsland 125 km away…

New research offers a clearer picture of a fault line hundreds of kilometres long off the West Coast that is predicted to generate a major earthquake and tsunami commonly known as "The Big One." @faulty_data @uvic @UVicSEOS https://t.co/eBRQjbuMup

[Hannah Robutka @HRobutka]

I’m ecstatic and incredibly grateful to be named as one of the recipients of the Roy Hyndman Award. I’m looking forward to the continued collaboration with @Ocean_Networks on my PhD research! @UVicSEOS

New information shows that an earthquake on Southern Vancouver Island could be more devastating than originally thought.

Ed Nissen @UVicSEOS explained what this report means for people in Greater Victoria. #yyj

When it comes to monitoring the impact of climate change, we may have a new candidate for an oceanic early alert system: marine plankton. A new Nature study by @UVicSEOS prof Andy Fraass explores the fossil records to bring us new insights. https://t.co/CHD6uFCq0A

"Geology let's us see the planet's past, providing glimpses at potential futures--futures we should try to avoid."
