UVic professor @schaefferaj is part of a five-year program studying earthquake hazards in the Canadian pacific. The program has the biggest deployment of Canadian broadband ocean bottom seismometers in Canadian waters.

First two of the Canadian NFSI OBS being deployed off Canada's west coast, to better understand earthquake hazard throughout the region. Great start to the 5-year @GSC_CGC @UBCeoas@UVicSEOS and @dalhousie NFSI collaboration!
@SchoolShake@raspishake This plot shows signals from the 4 booms recorded at 14 stations, from 10 km to 55 km (top to bottom). Another interesting little find for @SchoolShake! (@GSC_CGC @UVicSEOS@HakaiInstitute) See https://t.co/Ng8kDXJ81s for a station map.
๐ขPostdoc opportunity in seismology!
Keen to uncover the mantle dynamics beneath Iceland? Keen to work on ocean bottom seismic data?
Sergei Lebedev and myself offer this in Cambridge https://t.co/LGzDuuTTPb

@raspishake#citizenscience community, the @SchoolShake program would love to talk with any shakers running a Raspberry Shake on Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, Sea to Sky, Squamish, Whistler, Puget Sound, San Juan and Gulf Islands. Please reach out to us!
@PaulaJohanson@SchoolShake@UVicSEOS @GSC_CGC @HakaiInstitute@raspishake Thanks for submitting your felt report @PaulaJohanson , that is valuable information for us! This swarm is really quite interesting. Such swarms are common generally, though new for this location. I would tell your friend these are likely unrelated to the big one :)
Fascinating swarm of small earthquakes north of Sooke, BC today. More than 30 events most <M1 and quite shallow. These detections were made possible by the @SchoolShake network run by @UVicSEOS, @GSC_CGC and @HakaiInstitute, using @raspishake instruments. (1/3)
@VictoriaNews this is a continuation of the shallow inland earthquakes reported yesterday. The rest of these weren't felt like the early M2 were, but likely part of the same sequence.
This small sequence of events serves as another reminder of the need to be prepared. Well timed for #EmergencyPreparednessWeek#EPWeek2023! Checkout our @SchoolShake webpage https://t.co/4kTqf1nTE9 to learn more about the program, and view our earthquake map and stations. (3/3)
The largest event in the sequence was an M2.1 which occurred at 9:34 pm May 7th, and was reported as felt. The bulk of the events occurred during a 4.5 hr window between 9:30 pm May 7th and 2:00 am May 8th. (2/3)
4 more schools are starting off the school year with a @raspishake. Welcome EMCS in Sooke (RE0FF), St John's in Shawnigan (RD862), @SD63NSaanich (R01DF) and @yourSMUS (RF395). Looking forward to working with all of you and your students!
It was a pleasure to work with the incredible Jalal Norooz Oliaee & Chase Sun from the Metrology Research Centre @NRC_CNRC. We used their in-house developed sensors to measure & map natural sources of #methane. Jalal makes final preparations before a day of surveying. @GSC_CGC.
This is @faulty_data showing me one of the Raspberry Shake instruments (miniaturized seismometers) being installed in Vancouver Island schools to further #earthquake research and education. If youโd like one in your school, check out: https://t.co/KcD2Wq5Dce
