Huge thank you to everyone who came out to @NRCan’s first ever participation in the @vancouverpride Parade #PrideSeason2022 #SaisonDeLaFierté #PSPW2022 #SFFP2022 #NRCanTogetherWithPride #RNCanEnsemblAvecFierté #OurNRCan #MonRNCan #TogetherAgain

A break from geoscience to prepare for @NRCan's participation in the @vancouverpride parade this Sunday. Here's a few bts shots of our float build - can you guess what it will be? #PrideSeason2022 #SaisonDeLaFierté #PSPW2022 #SFFP2022 #TogetherAgain #OurNRCan #MonRNCan

#Geoscience is essential for mineral exploration while supporting competitiveness. It also helps us understand #ClimateChange and keeps Canadians safe from natural hazards. That’s why today we endorsed the Pan-Canadian Geoscience Strategy: canada.ca/en/natural-res…

Today marks 40 years since the 5.6 magnitude Miramichi #earthquake that shook much of the Maritimes. Our seismologist Dr. Maurice Lamontagne compiled a report with images, newspaper clippings and reports detailing the event. ow.ly/StOM50Hq1cF

Interested in #volcanic hazards in #Canada? Check out this new (freely available) report by Wilson + Kelman “Assessing the relative threats from Canadian volcanoes” geoscan.nrcan.gc.ca/starweb/geosca… the website: chis.nrcan.gc.ca/volcano-volcan… + follow @KelmanMelanie @VolcanoCanuck @GSC_CGC

It's important to know what to do during an earthquake: drop, cover and hold on. It's also important to practice these steps, and #ShakeOut is a great opportunity! This year's ShakeOut takes place on Oct 21, and you can register at shakeoutbc.ca

🎶 Under pressure, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo 🎶 Pressure’s not just for people – the tectonic plates beneath the Earth’s surface feel it, too! Watch our scientist Camille explain what’s going on when an earthquake happens. #OdySci #SimplyScience @Sci_Od

On the shores of Sidney B.C. sits the world renowned Institute of Ocean Science. Let us show you around -- the full tour is waiting for you: ow.ly/366850EHLp3 #OdySci2021

Open call for contribution to BC #ResiliencePathways Report! The project is led by @NRCan and supported by provincial and local partners. Learn more and submit an expression of interest by May 15: drrpathways.ca/expression-of-… All Risks. All Sectors. Whole of Society Role.

Who says belemnites can’t be beautiful? I’ve been working with the @GSC_CGC collection and came across this amazing photo of one of our specimens! @NRCanScience @WCdaGeosci

Join the GSC risk team for the launch of CanFlood, a new tool to support flood risk assessment in Canada to reduce flood risk and improve decision-making in communities. Webinar launch party May 4th 2021 9 – 10am PDT/ 12 – 1pm EDT at ibiviz.com/CanFlood/

Since 1970 #EarthDay has aimed to diversify, educate and activate support for the environment! Mark it by speaking with someone about how important geosciences are to environmental understanding and protection. Spread the word, inspire thought, and help protect our planet 🌍

How can we be more resilient to #earthquake, #wildfire and #flood? Join us on Nov 2 to learn about Canada's National Risk Profile at #urbc2020. Examine #hazard & #risk case studies, mapping initiatives, risk assessments. urbc.ca/emstrategyforc… #emergencymanagement

DYK not every earthquake produces a tsunami? @earthquakeguy explains how tsunamis are generated youtu.be/LGzusy3I-EA . Join us on October 15th and practice your #dropcoverandholdon #BCEarthquake

#TipTuesday (this time with video!) Seismologist @alisonlbird shares how she reinforced the area around her chimney to help prevent bricks from coming through the ceiling during an earthquake. #preparednotscared youtu.be/baTDa5n8V5c

Have you ever wondered how seismologists got interested in earthquakes? We were curious so we asked Dr. John Cassidy (AKA @earthquakeguy). He says is all started with waves! Listen here youtu.be/KXelEQDxqwU #BCEarthquake

SEND IN YOUR QUESTIONS: Do you have questions about earthquakes? Are you a teacher and interested in chatting with seismologists Alison Bird and Dr. John Cassidy by video call? Post your questions, tweet us @ShakeOutBC or email us! #ShakeOutBC

'Twas the week before @ShakeOut (15 October 10:15 a.m.) - a great day to watch the 3 minute @IRIS_EPO video "what to do when the shaking begins (where ever you are)" iris.edu/hq/inclass/ani… Register: shakeout.org/register/ + check with your local emergency preparedness groups

ONE WEEK until ShakeOut BC's virtual drill - have you registered? Help us spread the word and practice your #DropCoverandHoldOn so you can be safe when the earth shakes! #ShakeOutBC shakeoutbc.ca/register/
