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!
After three years of exploration, the Royal BC Museum palaeontology team has unearthed a trove of over 90 dinosaur fossils in the Skeena Mountains! Read more at bit.ly/3B2k8g4 @cangeo @trebekinitiative

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…

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/new…

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

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
