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 – but some scientists are even more concerned about the potential impact of smaller quakes closer to Metro Vancouver. bc.ctvnews.ca/the-big-one-is…

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
