Quick video about the M7.8 earthquake off the coast of Russia, including an animation from @earthscope.org showing the seismic waves detected by seismic stations across North America. 🧪

This mornings M3.0 felt earthquake near Duncan was well recorded on the #SchoolShake network. No damages expected, but a great reminder to be prepared. Felt reports and details: www.earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/recent/2025/...

Small M1.9 earthquake this morning just offshore #VictoriaBC, at 5:39 am PDT, at 9 km depth. While not large enough to cause damage and not likely to be felt, another reminder of the hazard across the region. Well recoded by the @schoolshake.bsky.social @raspishake.bsky.social network.

Another local earthquake, beneath the south end of the peninsula. Once again really nicely picked up by the @schoolshake.bsky.social @raspishake.bsky.social network operated by @seos-uvic.bsky.social, @hakai.org and the Geological Survey of Canada.

A shallow Magnitude ~2.5 occurred 5:41pm local time near the Canada-US border, between Langley and Abbotsford. Detected with @raspishake.bsky.social instruments across the MVRD and CRD.

The Geological Survey of Canada (Pacific Geoscience Centre near Victoria, BC and Vancouver, BC) has an opening for a research scientist in Earthquake Seismology. Join a great, diverse team doing cutting edge science. ⚒️🧪 Details: emploisfp-psjobs.cfp-psc.gc.ca/psrs-srfp/ap... Apply by 25 April, 2025

The latest models from the USGS show slip, and associated strong shaking, extending much further to the south. Here I have plotted contours of estimated shaking over a map of population density. Note that the fault runs south through a narrow valley that is densely populated. ⚒️ 🧪 Myanmar earthquake

Just curious, any other seismologists out there having difficulty getting data from the @earthscope.org SAGE/GAGE fdsnws services, or are getting a "system currently overloaded" message from the web-based metadata aggregator?

The US Geological Survey (in the Dept of the Interior) is the federal agency that runs our volcano observatories & monitors volcanoes in the US for imminent eruption. Their work is critical to protect lives & infrastructure when volcanoes awaken like this. 🌋

Small Earthquake just off from Colwood this afternoon at 4:24 PM local time. A small M0.8 event at 9 km depth, but still detectable with the local seismic networks and a few of the SchoolShake stations!

To celebrate @mark-carney.bsky.social’s decisive win of the @liberalca.bsky.social leadership contest I’ll be drinking a Canadian English ale. Mr Carney was Governor of both Bank of Canada and Bank of England, after all. #FinestHour 🇨🇦

Another small but felt earthquake occured March 6th at 16:18 PST, deep within the Olympic Mountains of Washington State. While a M3.8-3.9, at 42km depth it was not as widely felt as Monday's. Picked up nicely on the SchoolShake @raspishake.bsky.social Network.

Uh oh... some new house construction in the neighbourhood and ground shaking from the excavator shows up nicely on my RaspberryShake seismometer. Sadly, this will hide shaking from any tiny daytime #earthquakes... Thanks @raspberrypi.com @earthquakeandrew.bsky.social ⚒️🧪

Very nice signals across southwest BC picked up by the @schoolshake.bsky.social Raspberry Shake seismic network, operated by the Geological Survey of Canada, @seos-uvic.bsky.social, and @hakai.org

Lovely flowers out already. It feels so early for them, but somehow it is already March!

M5 earthquake north of Sechelt, BC, occurred at 13:26:33 local time (PST). Widely felt across the Sunshine Coast, Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. Picked up across the SchoolShake Network.

🧪⚒️ The seismic swarm in Greece continues - and GPS stations on Santorini show that the island itself is deforming, signaling likely movement of magma deep in the crust. In our latest post, we explore a new detailed seismic catalog and come up with a possible interpretation. Read more:

Did you feel the M~3.8 earthquake South of Victoria,BC, just a few minutes ago (21:59:18 PST)? If you did, register your experience with Earthquakes Canada Did you feel it! Nicely picked up across the @schoolshake.bsky.social Network!

Here are the waveforms from the 23:23 UTC Cayman Islands Mw7.6 that occurred earlier today. You can see the waves arrive across the SchoolShake Network Raspberry Shakes in South West BC a bit more than 8 minutes after the earthquake.

Hello all my #Quaternary #Geology friends, the Yukon Geologic Survey is hiring a term position (until Sept. 2026) in surficial geology. It just opened and closes fast, Feb 17th, so if you are interested, jump quickly. ⚒️🧪

Regarding the earthquakes near the greek island of #Santorini there a few things to know. #Earthquake swarms are common throughout the aegean, and usually they end without causing problems. So there is a high likelyhood that nothing will happen. However, there are several potential issues. 1/7

New paper alert! 🧪⛏️ Led by the amazing @spacequakes.bsky.social, here's a seismologically ordinary earthquake that got outsized attention due to some misinformation. It was cool to be a small part of this work! Open access in @weareseismica.bsky.social : seismica.library.mcgill.ca/article/view...

If Canadian universities had a bit of vision, they would be launching a Manhattan project to poach every US-based top researcher. And the federal government would be drastically expanding tri-council funding and creating an expedited review process for those holding NSF and similar grants.

Even when you know how magnitudes work and so how big a M9 earthquake would be, it's still hard to fully fathom an event like 1700 Cascadia. The rupture area is just SO huge.

Dec. 14, 1872: A damaging M6.8 earthquake rocked northern #WA and southern #BC. One of the largest known shallow earthquakes in Cascadia and followed by 100's of aftershocks. Felt strongly at #Seattle, Victoria, Vancouver and north into central BC ⚒️🧪 www.earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/historic-his...

Just coming to the end of a very nice 2 week vacation to the south western Pacific islands, North Island New Zealand, Fiji and Tokoriki. No seismology on this trip, just a family getaway to visit good friends and attend another friend's wedding.

In case you missed it, the big news last week was the release of a study that discovered the source of an unidentified seismic signal that caused a ringing vibration that was recorded all over the globe for 9 days.

I have been behind the 8-ball posting images from this summer's fieldwork. I am not quite there yet, but close. In the meantime, I'm also going to start posting images and videos of specific seismic stations we are running around BC and the Arctic.

Fine, fine. I made a starter pack for #EarthSurfaceProcesses and #geomorphologhy folks. 🧪⚒️ Am still adding folx but please let me know if you'd like to be added! go.bsky.app/CQzthwb

Significant Earthquake off BC, along the southernmost stretch of the Queen Charlotte Fault! It is an M6.1 event (will be revised), strike slip, south of Cape St James. Felt across a broad region. It was preceded by a foreshock (M4.2) by about 1 hr and since an M4.2 aftershock. (1/)

@mike.raccoon.bike I just wanted to reach out as I am interested in the @canadaquakes.bsky.social rss feed system that you set up. I'm a seismologist with NRCan (Geological Survey). There is no DM yet, so not sure the best way to have a conversation with you directly.
