This is fantastic news!
OpenTopography is excited to announce a major expansion to its international data catalog with the addition of the High Resolution Digital Elevation Model from Natural Resources Canada. This 1-meter resolution dataset is ideal for a wide range of applications.

A thread on this paper! 🧪⚒️
The Tintina fault is a major right-lateral fault, stretching ~1000 km across the Yukon, and having slipped a total of ~430 km in its lifetime. It's generally thought to have been inactive since the Eocene.

Really pleased to share our new paper in GRL, documenting evidence of multiple Quaternary surface-rupturing earthquakes on the Tintina fault in the Yukon.

Life update: got my PhD! What a journey. I'm especially grateful to my supervisors @faultydata.bsky.social and @earthquakeguy.bsky.social for their support and mentorship along the way. Also huge congrats to @thatfaultguy.bsky.social for graduating as well!

Felt that one clearly at UVic, in the midst of typing the final few sentences of my thesis on mapping active faults in western Canada.
Ironically it’s the first I’ve felt around here since Nisqually 2001, when I was in grade 1. An education book-ended by earthquakes!

That was a shallow M5.1 earthquake, 24 km NNE of Sechelt and 60 km NW of Vancouver at 1:26 p.m. PT. Shaking was felt by 1000's across southwest British Columbia.

If you work on active faults that are challenging to study due to low strain rates and/or environmental factors such as recently glaciated landscapes or dense vegetation, please consider participating in our session at SSA 2024, April 29-May 3, in Anchorage!

Just getting my land legs back after a few weeks at sea deploying OBS instruments and hunting for evidence of paleoseismic events on BC's coast. I think I could get used to ship-based research!
