A ridge of high-pressure just offshore will continue to bring dry conditions with mild spring temps today. An onshore flow will bring increasing cloudiness with a chance of showers this evening evening into Tues. High pressure will rebuild over the area Wed,Thurs, with dry conditions & warmer temps.

people will literally reconstitute the Bering Strait land bridge instead of going to therapy and getting greenhouse gases to zero

Increasing global ocean temperature by part of a degree seems not so bad, until you consider the amount of heat involved

April 13, 1949 - a damaging M6.7 earthquake near Olympia and #Seattle, WA rocked the Pacific Northwest and southwest #BritishColumbia. Deep earthquakes (within the subducting oceanic plate at ~40-60 km depth) are the most frequent source of damaging #earthquakes here. crew.org/wp-content/u... ⚒️🧪

April 12-18 is #TsunamiPreparednessWeek in British Columbia - a great time to learn more about the past and prepare for the future, starting with stories and lessons passed down from those who have lived on this coast for 1000’s of years hakaimagazine.com/features/gre... from @hakai.org magazine 🧪⚒️🌊

Flying from Zürich to LA yesterday we followed a great circle route north over Greenland. I happened to look out the tiny window in the door and saw this awe-inspiring view of Baffin Bay. I've never before gotten to see sea ice during this melt period - leads forming, water exposed.. 🌊

Another chapter of my PhD is now published! Using new lidar data and electrical resistivity tomography, we examine a potential fault scarp in the enigmatic Southern Rocky Mountain Trench near Invermere, BC. We think the scarp is a normal fault that has ruptured several times in the Holocene.

Arctic underwater noise is rising as sea ice shrinks + access expands. A decade of hydrophone data from ONC’s Cambridge Bay observatory, analyzed by researchers at The University of Bath sets a baseline for tracking vessel noise. 👉🏼 bit.ly/4sPw7no University of Victoria 🧪 🌊
