GREAT BEAR NA̱NHiking in BC, both grizzly and black bear sightings are common. Nearly half the world's population, some 25,000 Grizzly Bears, roam the Canadian wilderness — of those, 14,000 or more call British Columbia home. These highly intelligent omnivores spend their days lumbering along our coastlines, mountains and forests.Both bear families descend from a common ancestor, Ursavus,

Seems an implausible lineage given the size of their very

Totem Poles at Stanley Park, Vancouver, BCIf you visit Brockton Point in Stanley Park, there are many carved red cedar totem poles for you to admire.  What you are viewing are replicas of First Nation totem poles that once stood in the park but have been returned to their homes within the province's diverse First Nation communities — or held within museum collections. Some of the original

Bear with me. Abstract: Emergence of blueschists on Earth linked to secular changes in oceanic crust composition - Richard M. Palin and Richard W. White The oldest blueschists—metamorphic rocks formed during subduction—are of Neoproterozoic age, and 0.7–0.8 billion years old. Yet, subduction of oceanic crust to mantle depths is thought to have occurred since the Hadean, over 4 billion

I’ve had a great three weeks in the Canadian Rockies, but now I’m heading out. It’s been an honor and a privilege to teach in these fine mountains, among amazing rocks with talented colleagues and thoughtful students, and I’ve really enjoyed the past week of GigaPanning with my colleague Aaron Barth. Yesterday, Aaron and I saw these bear tracks in the mud next to a creek where we were GigaPanning.

Today, I’d like to share some images with you from Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada. This is the Crypt Lake hike, a popular (but grueling) hike in the park. It starts at the Waterton Marina, across Emerald Bay from the Prince of Wales Hotel. Mount Crandell and the Bear’s Hump are visible in the distance. This image can be made much bigger if you click on it. Click

The 6th bear of the trip was the hardest to spot of all - the inlaws spent some time stomping around in the sun saying it did not exist - it was only visible from a particular angle. Apparently some of the doodles are older than others. I wonder why so many of the ancient people are depicted carrying beachballs. The cool thing about the ancient peoples that lived in what is now

Many years ago, I was working for a Canadian/Norwegian company that sold log homes to Japanese and Korean buyers eager to have a taste of the "traditional" Scandinavian mixed with the West Coast experience. Young and willing to work for pennies plus my living allowance, I'd always thought I was hired for my language skills. It was years later, upon looking at old photographs, that it dawned on me that my actual job, the one I was hired to do -- was stand at the from of the room flipping large [...]
