Teeth from a relative of the Tyrannosaurus rex, bones from at least one large herbivore, the foot of a small meat-eater... Congratulations to two of our graduate students, Emily Cross and @ltdickson on contributing to this amazing discovery!

What a great day to be out on the Salish Sea. Southern #VancouverIsland

The offshore #VancouverIsland earthquake swarm continues today with a M6.1 #earthquake at 8:08 a.m. PT. This earthquake was located ~200 km west of Tofino. Mild shaking was felt by a few people. No damage, no tsunami. Details: earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/recent/2024/20…

The @RoyalBCMuseum palaeontology team is coming to Terrace! Join us at Lakelse Lake Provincial Park on July 22 to hear about our fieldwork on the Spatsizi Plateau!

#UVicInTheNews: Congrats to @UVicSEOS's Dr. Paul Hoffman for being awarded the Kyoto Prize for his contributions to early earth history research! He is the first geologist to receive the honour. Find more on Dr. Hoffman and his work on the #ScholComBlog: onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca/scholarlycommu…

On a hot, summer day, nothing beats looking across the Salish Sea at a cool, snow-capped #volcano! This is Koma Kulshan (Mt. Baker) today, as seen from southern #VancouverIsland 125 km away…

We are saddened to share the passing of Kim Juniper. Kim was a former professor in @UVicSEOS and Biology, and chief scientist for @Ocean_Networks. He was a world-renowned scientist who had an enormous impact on ocean science. 🔗More about Kim's legacy: ow.ly/SCla50SvBzq

Amazing achievement. Congratulations Paul!

Paul Hoffman wins the Kyoto Prize for his profound influence on our understanding of Earth’s early history. The geologist and adjunct professor @UVicSEOS has made groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of global freezing and plate tectonics. ow.ly/c6RN50Sweff

We're proud to share that @UVicSEOS adjunct professor Paul Hoffman has been awarded the Kyoto Prize for his groundbreaking contributions to early Earth history. The Kyoto Prize is widely considered the Japanese equivalent of the Nobel Prize. uvic.ca/news/topics/20…

Congratulations to my @UVicSEOS colleague Paul Hoffman for winning the Kyoto Prize for his seminal work on early earth history and the Snowball Earth kyotoprize.org/en/laureates/p…. What an incredible honour (on par with a Noble prize) and so well deserved. #science

New research offers a clearer picture of a fault line hundreds of kilometres long off the West Coast that is predicted to generate a major earthquake and tsunami commonly known as "The Big One." @faulty_data @uvic @UVicSEOS theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weathe…

I’m ecstatic and incredibly grateful to be named as one of the recipients of the Roy Hyndman Award. I’m looking forward to the continued collaboration with @Ocean_Networks on my PhD research! @UVicSEOS oceannetworks.ca/news-and-stori…

New information shows that an earthquake on Southern Vancouver Island could be more devastating than originally thought. Ed Nissen @UVicSEOS explained what this report means for people in Greater Victoria. #yyj iheart.com/podcast/962-mo…

When it comes to monitoring the impact of climate change, we may have a new candidate for an oceanic early alert system: marine plankton. A new Nature study by @UVicSEOS prof Andy Fraass explores the fossil records to bring us new insights. ow.ly/NNTR50RiA3P

"Geology let's us see the planet's past, providing glimpses at potential futures--futures we should try to avoid." - Andy Fraass (@macromicropaleo), @UVicSEOS prof

Delighted to host the wonderful Jon Husson of @UVicSEOS at @UVicScience’s Cafe Scientifique at @HermannsJazz club last night. Great tale on snowball Earth and a super-interested crowd busting with questions afterwards
