They come however in many different energies requiring different observing system to detect them. We at @oceannetworks.ca are helping the #P-ONE Collaboration build a large facility to detect the most energetic ones.

Ok. Peak-to-peak is more like 6cm now. Looks like double what I remember from Tohoku. #Tsunami @oceannetworks.ca

… and a better view of the first wave. Amplitude 2cm (but by 2,400m depth!). @oceannetworks.ca

Here we go. Here’s the first sign of the #Tsunami wave arriving near the Canada-US border offshore: this is the de-tided signal at the Endeavour site 300km offshore on the NEPTUNE observatory @oceannetworks.ca

This #Tsunami looks serious. Here’s what it looks like at Midway: Image courtesy of @noaa.gov

This is a VERY large earthquake, possibly/probably among the 10 largest ever recorded. A clear subduction zone megathrust event. And it is another M>8.5 event with a notable foreshock (the recent M7.4 in same location), like Tohoku in 2011.

Our @oceannetworks.ca Observatory Physical Operations staff Caleb and Peter are presenting the #P-ONE frame design at the P-ONE 2025 workshop hosted at @sfuscience.bsky.social

Just arrived at the 2025 #P-ONE workshop and was greeted with this pair of socks with our @oceannetworks.ca logo! Nice and welcoming!

Planetary delivered the world's first verified carbon removal tons from Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE)! www.linkedin.com/pos... OAE helps undo ocean acidification to allow the it to naturally absorb more CO2 from the atmosphere.

1/👩‍🚀ONC is celebrating the legacy of politician & #astronaut Honourable Marc Garneau, a friend to ONC & the ocean. As Transport Minister, Honourable Garneau was not only dedicated to space exploration but also recognized the important role of ocean observing in protecting Canada’s ocean. 🧪 #Canada

Exciting news from the UN Ocean Conference + One Ocean Science Congress in Nice, France! ONC has been named as an Implementing Partner of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030). Learn more 🌊 bit.ly/43RvH4J @uvic.ca #OceanDecade #KnowTheOcean #UNOC3 #UNOceanDecade

The primary energy fallacy is the idea that all primary energy from fossil fuels must be replaced with equivalent amount of clean energy. BUT: Not necessary because conversion losses don’t need to be replaced. 2/3 of all primary energy is lost as waste heat. knowledge.energyinst.org/new-energy-w...

American Exceptionalism on full display. “We can belittle you, threaten you, punish you. But how DARE you push back in the slightest way. That’s an insult.” F this guy.

@katemoran.bsky.social - happening in BC!

In this diagram showing battery production capacity by country, Canada is currently only #20 by energy capacity, but has projected production by 2027 that should bring it closer to the top. Let’s hope that materializes.

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

"it would require about 31 hectares of corn ethanol to produce the same amount of energy generated by one hectare of land covered in solar panels" www.anthropocenemagazine.org/2025/04/new-...

🤔 this truly is his mental model for America at its finest. 😡

Best one I’ve seen so far:

It's getting more and more serious @climate.noaa.gov:

This is what the TeslaTakedown should have their focus on. Not destroying the company.

Curious about the constituent parts of Canada's 65Mt (8.5%) GHG reduction since 2005? Here's how different sectors contributed - or not:

‘“Nature has its way of taking out the weak and the not so well and the injured. The eagle likely thought it would be able to take it out quite easily,” Sequeira [the Ontario-based photographer] said. “But, it wasn’t.””

Our future Canadian F35s could be crippled with a few keystrokes by Trump. Another contract to rip right now! We don’t want to be Zelenskyy’d! www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Apparently making a bid for the record for the largest number of illegal and unconstitutional declarations to be fit inside just one short social media post

Almost looks like Trump wants to launder some money and not get caught 🤔

Absolutely. And that is true for any archive -whether physical samples or digital records. We must strive to maintain those at all costs for future generation to discover what we may have missed or could not have conceived of initially!

Wow, there truly is an app for everything now! 🇨🇦

Well said James!

Do you know (or are you) a senior scientist in the USA who might like to move to Canada in the near future? The 2026 call for CERCs (Canada Excellence Research Chairs) was posted last month: 🧪 ⚛️ 🔭 🇨🇦

We were happy StarLink users for data collection in remote areas. Now for the obvious reasons, we have to look at the OneWeb competition.

1/🫨 ONC’s land+seafloor seismic network successfully detected the earthquake felt in #YVR + #YYJ this afternoon & notified critical infrastructure subscribers. The earthquake was located 23 km NE of Sechelt & occurred at 1:26pm PST. YYJ received 17 seconds’ notice before ground shaking arrived.

Just a reminder that Canada and the EU have a common land border. It’s on Han island and is all of 1.2km. But that should count for something right? Does that make us eligible for membership?

Curtis Yarvin. Remember his name and read up on him — he is a big part of what is happening to our country right now. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

I’m writing something about what government around the world should do about ocean-based climate solutions. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy had some reports I wanted to see, but when I visited, they’re just gone. Sad.

Grad students across Canada are invited to apply for the $20,000 Roy Hyndman Ocean Observing Award to support their research projects that use data from ONC’s ocean observatories. 📅 Apply by 31 Jan 2025 Learn more 🔎 bit.ly/3rI4gHP

physics of climate impacts 101: - Stuff gets hot (worse heatwaves) - Hot air holds more water vapor (heavier rainfall) - Hot air is thirstier air (higher drought risk) - Warm water is hurricane food (stronger storms) - Hot water expands and hot ice melts (sea level rise)

While Trump threatens to invade Canada and his MAGA movement bullies and harasses Canadians and other US allies, Canadians are busy saving USians from burning alive. Canadian air crews in Los Angeles risked their lives to save US civilians. #palisadesfire

When a partial meltdown of Ontario's Chalk River Nuclear Power Plant occurred in 1952, one of the 150 Americans brought in to help dismantle the parts of the reactor was Jimmy Carter. He was lowered into the reactor in 90 second shifts, which was enough time to remove one bolt.

Axial seamount, off the Oregon coast, is getting ready to erupt (again) in 2025. The most well instrumented under sea volcano has reached similar inflation as when it erupted (as predicted at that time) in 2015. Real time data is online for anyone to see! ⚒️🧪🌋 www.sciencenews.org/article/scie...
