Feeling the injustice [of climate events] is a fierce, protective, caring and nurturing instinct.”
In the lead-up to IMPAC 5 Canada next week (Feb 3-9), Britt Wray, climate psychologist and #IMPAC5 keynote speaker, discusses the complex array of emotions felt in the face of climate change and how we can channel emotions into collective environmental action and change.

In November, ONC's integrated deep-sea and land sensor networks detected the #Tofino 4.8 magnitude #earthquake 43 seconds before ground shaking hit Victoria and Vancouver.
This was made possible by ONC’s integrated deep-sea and land sensor network, located close to the Cascadia Subduction Zone off the west coast of Vancouver Island.
We are working with partners to launch an earthquake notification system, so operators of critical infrastructure in #BC can activate safety and emergency response measures and notify those in harm’s way.
