In our display case @seos-uvic.bsky.social we have some well preserved fossils. For example consider this Pycnodontid, this Trilobite, or this Zip 100 disk…

Can you identify the other fossils? Did you ever use them?

🌊 How do we collect sea ice to measure tor trace elements and isotopes? You need a big drill to collect the core and then a lot of patience to shave down the outsides with a ceramic blade…to get clean ice to melt and analyze. Dr. Tia Anderlini on the trigger here.

🌊 We never did find the mooring we were looking to recover here off the western edge of central 🇬🇱 Greenland. The bergs probably took it…but it was a beautiful spot to look. Summer 2024

Intense FOMO but very happy to see @tiaanderlini.bsky.social and Sofie Ohrling of @seos-uvic.bsky.social @uvicscience.bsky.social off to a great start on CCGS Amundsen in the Canadian 🇨🇦 Arctic Archipelago. First trace element samples collected for 2025 for us in the North

I will never forget that moment. That he was such a gentleman, lawyer, and devoted public servant later in his life speaks to his character and importance for Canadians across the country. Sad to learn he has passed #29
