We're used to seeing waves in the ocean...but waves in the clouds?
A rare cloud formation called Kevin-Helholtz clouds was visible over Victoria's Inner Harbour yesterday, and @seos-uvic.bsky.social professor Adam Monahan has the scientific explanation:

Rare cloud makes waves above Victoria's Inner Harbour
Rachelle Purych was looking out the window when she noticed a peculiar wave-shaped cloud formation outside.

🌊🧪 This was my attempt to describe isotopes and how we use them to determine the fraction of lead (Pb) from various natural and anthropogenic sources to a lay audience. Have you ever had online meetings with someone and then be surprised by their appearance when you first meet in person?

I was interviewed a bit ago for an article about Foraminifera and a recent spate of papers.

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.
Victoria, there was a small earthquake 17km below South Oak Bay in the wee hours last night (around 03:41 AM). This was really well detected by our @raspishake.bsky.social network of @schoolshake.bsky.social seismometers! This was a very small event at depth, so would definitely not cause any damage
