Recent discussions about the proposed Roberts Bank terminal and its potential transboundary effects are a reminder of the significance of the Fraser River for the entire #SalishSea. Map details: https://t.co/v8YI8WTrtO. #RBT2

@Aphantomknight1 I am surprised it took until so late in the day for someone to debate the boundaries :) There are many equally valid different definitions and no single authority. Here I use a definition of the Cascadia Bioregion based mostly on the Cascadia Institute's maps and text.

Happy #CascadiaDay! I had some #cartography fun making this #map of the #Cascadia #Bioregion's location relative to major North American #watersheds.

Western's new interdisciplinary Climate Change Minor, a 20-credit program open to all of our majors, could be a valuable addition to primary paths of study, regardless of field. Learn more about the new Climate Change Minor here: https://t.co/iDGPB6Qp66

My #WWU #Geography MA students Natalie Furness and Kailey Schillinger-Brokaw are published cartographers! Their #cartography appears in @ReginaJefferies' policy brief on challenges related to #transboundary flood management in the #SalishSea's Nooksack River Watershed.

Happy #CascadiaDay from the shores of the #SalishSea in the heart of #Cascadia! 💚

Such an honor to join this amazing cohort of Salish Sea Fellows next year! I will be working on a project to analyze and visualize climate change patterns in the #SalishSea Bioregion.

[Aquila Flower @AquilaFlower]

30% of the #SalishSea Bioregion's lands and waters have some level of park or protected status. You can explore more patterns of land ownership and management in the Salish Sea Atlas https://t.co/syxfFZrSVA. #SSEC2022

[Aquila Flower @AquilaFlower]

The Fraser River contributes more than half of the freshwater entering the #SalishSea each year, but there is considerable seasonal variability. Learn more in the Salish Sea Atlas https://t.co/syxfFZrSVA. If you're attending #SSEC2022, look for the atlas in the snapshots gallery.
