Carbon capture and storage could help B.C. meet its net-zero goals. #SFU professor Shahin Dashtgard is examining the viability of storing #carbon deep under the streets of Metro Vancouver in a soda-pop-like solution. @SFUEarthScience @SFU_Science

Recent events in Turkiye and Syria are a reminder of the dangers of living near fault lines. Is Vancouver ready? @SFUEarthScience professor John Clague weighs in on the risk.

The pending megathrust earthquake known as the "Big One" has been a source of worry on B.C.'s South Coast for years β but some scientists are even more concerned about the potential impact of smaller quakes closer to Metro Vancouver. bc.ctvnews.ca/the-big-one-isβ¦

It seems like more than two years ago I was teaching Terrain Analysis (Air photo mapping) during covid. But this course is a two year cycle, so it must be true! A reminder of how different teaching was then! See the old thread. #covidteaching @SFUEarthScience

One of the three courses I am teaching this term is Terrain analysis where the students learn how to make a terrain and a terrain stability map. Which is challenging given the physical distancing and limited face to face time. This is a short thread on the procedure. 1/8
