Yesterday afternoon we finished the final #Ocean Bottom #Seismometer recoveries for #PACSAFE2025, and started redeploying along the Explorer Plate! Here’s a look at our “full house”, with 23 instruments on deck.

Luckily it’s calmed down into a beautiful day today — fingers crossed to finish our last 3 recoveries for #PACSAFE2025

Today we’re recovering #Ocean Bottom #Seismometers from near Cape St. James at the southern tip of #HaidaGwaii. They’ve been listening for a year and we hope they’ll tell us more about how the Pacific, North America and Explorer #TectonicPlates interact in this complex triple junction.

Some critters hitched a ride on our ocean bottom seismometers for #PACSAFE2025, but we don’t know what they are. Found in the north east Pacific off the coast of BC, Canada, from depths of around 2000m. Any #biologists or #marine #scientists have ideas? @whoi.edu ?

Had a sporty day yesterday on #PACSAFE2025: an instrument released early so we had to make a 3hr detour to get it before the storm carried it off. 4m seas by the time we got to it, but the awesome deck crew of the 🇨🇦 #CoastGuard Tully pulled it off no problem.

Today we start PACSAFE recoveries!

Next we’re headed to the southern Queen Charlotte Fault to pickup instruments deployed last year, and redeploy them across the Explorer Plate.

We’ve had good weather, but now we’re outrunning a storm as we head north. Stay tuned for updates, like this important video from @charbottles.bsky.social

Hello from the North Pacific! We’re out on the #PACSAFE2025 cruise, deploying Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS) off the west coast of Canada. 🇨🇦

We spent the last 3 days at Endeavour Seamount, an underwater volcano expected to erupt soon. @rdave6.bsky.social & I got a selfie with it!

Outside of work, I’m pretty active.. I love hiking, weight-lifting, boxing, snowboarding, biking, swimming, and playing with my dogs. These are all things I post about, as well as political and social causes that are important to me (not affiliated with my professional work). Nice to meet you!(3/3)

I get to do really cool field work sometimes, meet passionate and talented researchers from around the world, advise inspiring students, contribute to meaningful problems and share my knowledge with others. These are my favourite parts of my job. (2/3)

Hello! Time to introduce myself here. I’m a researcher in the Pacific Division of the Geological Survey of Canada, studying earthquakes. I’m interested in modelling how earthquakes will affect people living in Canada as well as hunting for fault lines that may rupture in the future. (1/3)
