It was a pretty incredible day at work this past Friday!

he first Sentinel1 images are in after the Alaskan M7 earthquake beneath Hubbard Glacier - no shortage of new landslides. Below are 28/11 and a 9/12 images! @watershedlab.bsky.social @davepetley.bsky.social

I was on CBC's Yukon Morning today speaking about Saturday's Hubbard Glacier M7.0 earthquake and its aftershocks. Coincidentally, I got an audible alert on my phone for the M7.6 earthquake in Japan while we were on air! www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Very preliminary relocation results from the December 6th #Alaska - #Yukon #earthquake, The Hubbard Glacier Earthquake. Double difference locations (343) derived from catalog epicentres (372), both manual and automatic. Squares are catalog epicentres, circles are relocations.

Today's shallow M7 #earthquake near the Yukon-Alaska border has produced more than 60 #aftershocks (some as large as M5.1) during the first 5 hours. Live #shaking from a seismic station at Haines Junction (YT) shows a steady stream of aftershocks: www.earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/stndon/wf-fo... ⚒️🧪

Wow! 6.8 earthquake in Yukon near the border with Alaska! Shallow! Wondering if there is surface rupture? Or possibly landslides?

Pretty good shake here in Whitehorse. I didn’t feel it (I seemingly never do) but lots of other people did!

This is fantastic news!

OpenTopography is excited to announce a major expansion to its international data catalog with the addition of the High Resolution Digital Elevation Model from Natural Resources Canada. This 1-meter resolution dataset is ideal for a wide range of applications. opentopography.org/news/opentop...

A thread on this paper! 🧪⚒️ The Tintina fault is a major right-lateral fault, stretching ~1000 km across the Yukon, and having slipped a total of ~430 km in its lifetime. It's generally thought to have been inactive since the Eocene.

Really pleased to share our new paper in GRL, documenting evidence of multiple Quaternary surface-rupturing earthquakes on the Tintina fault in the Yukon. doi.org/10.1029/2025... @faultydata.bsky.social @earthquakeguy.bsky.social @thatfaultguy.bsky.social @tephrafan.bsky.social

Life update: got my PhD! What a journey. I'm especially grateful to my supervisors @faultydata.bsky.social and @earthquakeguy.bsky.social for their support and mentorship along the way. Also huge congrats to @thatfaultguy.bsky.social for graduating as well!

Felt that one clearly at UVic, in the midst of typing the final few sentences of my thesis on mapping active faults in western Canada. Ironically it’s the first I’ve felt around here since Nisqually 2001, when I was in grade 1. An education book-ended by earthquakes!

SSA abstract submission deadline has been extended until Tuesday the 14th! If you work in the Alaskan and Canadian Cordillera, please consider submitting to our session:

Attending the #SSA2025 meeting this year and working in the northern Cordillera and Alaska? Consider submitting to our session (#33) "Neotectonics and Geohazards of the Interior Alaskan and Canadian Cordillera" ! meetings.seismosoc.org/wp-content/u...

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 3, in Anchorage!

Just getting my land legs back after a few weeks at sea deploying OBS instruments and hunting for evidence of paleoseismic events on BC's coast. I think I could get used to ship-based research!
