Large earthquakes in #Canada??
Not so often, but yes, some of the world’s largest #earthquakes, including:
M9 (offshore #VancouverIsland in 1700)
M8.1 and M7.8 (offshore #HaidaGwaii in 1949 and 2012, respectively).
More than 4000 earthquakes are located across Canada each year, from coast to coast to coast.

Wow. This needs to be read by everyone who joined Mastodon in the last week: https://www.hughrundle.net/home-invasion/

The largest earthquake I’ve felt was the 2016 M7.8 Kaikōura NZ. I was in Wellington and although the rupture started >200 km away, it travelled northwards towards us. The earthquake really kicked in at the top of the South Island with shaking of MMI IX (Violent), finally stopping in Cook Strait ~50 km away. More than 20 faults ruptured; the Papatea Fault displaced the coast by ~1.5 m👇 The fact that earthquakes can produce changes to our landscape in seconds is, to me, awe-inspiring and humbling.

In North America, there are numerous sites that allow us to visualise the history of #OurPlanet📜

The choices facing the world at #COP27.

The planet has already warmed by around 1.2°C.

Current policies set us on track for around 3°C of warming.

Only making radically different choices will give the world a chance of not exceeding the 1.5 or 2°C limits of the Paris Agreement

Just a reminder about Mastodon.

Try not to directly upload videos here.
You have to remember that these videos have to be stored on the server that you're hosted on.

This would also eat up on available bandwidth, storage and memory resources of said servers and slow them down. Which would force server hosts to upgrade at a substantial cost.

Suggested idea...

Upload to YouTube, Vimeo or other video streaming services and share the link to the video here instead.

Greetings tooters!

this account is for Dr. Jason "Jay" R. Patton (aka EarthJay) and I march for science. #hashtag #Introduction #MastodonIntroduction

His main education/outreach effort is voluntarily writing up #EarthquakeReport posts on earthjay.com. These are for #earthquake and #tsunami events of interest, sorted in different ways; sorted by year here: https://earthjay.com/?page_id=3220

they are an engineering geologist (PG license 9758) who serves the public while at the California Geological Survey, Seismic Hazards and Tsunami programs. https://www.conservation.ca.gov/cgs/

he has been studying the tectonics of the Cascadia subduction zone (a convergent plate boundary fault system) for over 25 years (MS thesis at cal poly humboldt, dept geology). he is an adjunct professor at this dept. https://geology.humboldt.edu/

they studied marine sedimentary records (submarine landslide deposits called turbidites) of earthquakes offshore of Sumatra/Cascadia for my marine geology & geophysics PhD at oregon state university. https://ceoas.oregonstate.edu/

capital letters are over rated but chocolate and oxford commas are not.

We are #obspy, resistance is fudel.

We make code that other people use to make code to make everybody understand this piece of rock better that we all sit on.

observations are that person that operates the seismometer their own

Hi, a first post to introduce myself. I'm Paul Denton from the UK, I'm interested in sailing and seismology, I prefer dogs to cats.

I have spent most of my life working in Seismology, and seem to have specialised in educational seismology. I spent some time setting up and running the UK school seismology project and still have an interest in trying to create the world's cheapest functional seismic sensor using Lego.

Currently working at DentonSeismo co.uk

About a month ago, NASA's Juno probe buzzed the Jovian moon Europa, and we got this cool picture, taken from a distance of about 400 km away.

With just this picture, we can see Europa is an active world, using one of the oldest rules in the geological book. Read on to find out how!

Southeast NSW #Australia is a relatively active region, but not many #earthquakes have occurred in the immediate area of yesterday's magnitude 4.0 east of Frogmore. Only 250 events are logged within 20km of this epicentre in the last 60 years, and this is the largest on record.
