Hi! I’m a research scientist at the Geological Survey of Canada and adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia and the University of Victoria. I study #earthquakes and focus mostly on #SeismicRisk and #ActiveTectonics. I’m interested in #Paleoseismology #Neotectonics #Seismology #Geodesy and #SeismicHazard.

I’m also chair of the #AGU Hazards Equity Working Group, a Fast Reports editor at @weareseismica and a Building Equity & Capacity committee member for #SZ4D.

It’s #FollowFriday so boost this post and help God get more followers! The more people that follow Me here the more comedy people on Twitter will realize they should move to Mastodon!

I am just dying right now! ☠️

HOW was this done last year- and I missed it? 😳 #StarTrek #AllIWantForChristmasIsQ #Christmas 🎄

If you or a loved one was diagnosed with Muskothelioma you may be entitled to financial compensation. Muskothelioma is a rare brain disease linked to Twitter exposure. Exposure to Elon Musk’s brain via his Tweets, replies, emojis, or by directly working at Twitter may put you at risk. Please don't wait, call a lawyer today!

An #ASTER image of the Zagros Mts in Fars, #Iran, because #FridayFold and #Geology rules!

And sorry, I can't remember the band combination I used… It's an old composition, but it's false colour, that's for sure 😅

It represents shortwave #infrared and near infrared light, combined as red, green and blue. The colours highlight different rock types that would be "invisible" to the naked eye. It's perhaps 30 km wide.

Amazing #folds

Soft sediment folds for #FoldFriday These gorgeous blocks of downslope slump folds, with a syn-sedimentary, mini erosive unconformity above, are from the Upper Ordovician Ardwell Farm Formation, exposed on the shore south of #Girvan. #Hunterian museum collections. #Geology #Sedimentology #FridayFold

One of my favourite #Fridayfold locations in the Åland Islands, between Finland and Sweden.
Flattened pillow lavas buckled by later minor folding.

This is my first post to this group. As #introduction, I am a scientist that hopes to connect with newsies that are civil, want fact-based information, and that care about humanity and our planet. I love #geology, but I'm not much of a rockhound. I am very much interested in #education and seeking research-based teaching methods that are most effective for our future citizen.
