I write about it all over the place. On my personal blog KULSHAN - Lead Author: Stan G. Webb - In Retirement © ®™ [https://stangwebb.blogspot.com/] and, everywhere.

I have personally been through five memorable earthquakes in my past 78 years. The first, when I was living in Minto, a M7.3 in 1946 killed two people in Courtney, BC when I was 22 months old.  It almost knocked me to the ground.. That shook me to the bottom of my soul. My second was a M8.1 in Haida Gwaii in 1949. In Haida Gwaii everyone ~ people, cats and rats and cows were knocked to the ground, right now. There was no 'duck, cover and hold.'

Summary: 839 buildings in The District of North Vancouver will partially or completely collapse. There is a 30% probability that a magnitude M7.3 earthquake in the Salish Sea, say midway between The District of North Vancouver, Nanaimo and Victoria in the next 50 years will cause the partial or complete collapse of 839 buildings. That does not count the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation, The City of North Vancouver, the Squamish First Nation, t 227 pages of political bafflegab and pettifoggery If you download and print out the .pdf with all of its pretty colourful maps it will cost you about $96.00 in ink toner. But without 227 pages of political bafflegab and pettifoggery about $96.00 in toner ink just the same.


For: With great honour and respect; I first met Geswanouth Slahoot / Chief Dan George at the Williams Lake Stampede. I was 12. I thought, “This is how a man can be and should be”. YouTube - 17 minute video of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation – People of the Inlet

  1. 1. The Tsleil-Waututh Nation ("TWN") are Coast Salish peoples who speak hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓, the Downriver dialect of the Halkomelem language, and are closely related to but politically and culturally separate from the nearby nations of the Squamish and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam). A little while ago the Xwmelcsten and Ooyápelálexw Sto:lo villages occupied both sides of the Capilano River, the Xwmelcsten village was to the west, on what the District of West Vancouver now calls Ambleside Park

  2. I lived in Port Hardy for 12 years, on the land of Kwak'wala speaking people. Jody Wilson-Raybould is my Chief.

I hope you enjoy my recent photograph of 3,288 m (10,786 ft) Mt. Baker Stratovolcano (Kulshan). The United States Geological Service rates it a VERY HIGH RISK [https://www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/mount-baker/volcanic-hazards-mount-baker].


Around 5:30-7:15am. If it is a clear day I can see forever. I took this photograph just after the sun had come up over the mountains in the east, around the Coquihalla / Chilliwack / Hope area as the sun's rays struck the bottoms of the clouds overhead, but before the sun cleared Mount Seymour and the local mountains. I never photo-shop anything, ever. Just get up in the morning.

Mt. Baker (Kulshan) Eruption

During an eruption, if the wind is from the east at 10,000 feet (outflow), the tephra will fall on Vancouver, Canada in about an hour.  If the winds are from the west  (inflow) the tephra will fall on Merritt, BC in about 40 minutes. There are extremes in preparedness, of course. As a basis of my work I use the 2015 Profile of Earthquake Risk in the District of North Vancouver by Earthquake Canada, wherein they state that there is 30% chance of a M7.3 in the middle of the Salish Sea, say between North Vancouver, Nanaimo and Victoria, in the next 50 years, that will bring down 839 buildings, just among the 80,000 residents in the District of North Vancouver.

Plate tectonics have shaped the continents for millions of years. In British Columbia, they have created the mountains, and are the source of frequent earthquakes along the coast. To understand plate tectonics, we must first understand the internal structure of the Earth. Figure 1 (left) shows a cross-section of the Earth with its layers exposed. The solid inner core is surrounded by the liquid outer core which is surrounded by the mantle. Heat from the Earth’s core rises toward the surface, which causes the mantle to circulate. The outermost layer of the Earth is broken into eight major plates and dozens of smaller ones, and they move up to fifteen centimetres a year. The movement and interaction of these plates is referred to as plate tectonics.

Plate Tectonics Shape (and Shake) British Columbia.

Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Plate Boundaries

Many of the world’s earthquakes and volcanoes are concentrated in distinct zones along the edges of tectonic plates. Most are the result of plates colliding (at convergent boundaries), pulling apart (at divergent boundaries) or sliding past each other (at strike-slip or transform boundaries). Shallow earthquakes are in yellow, the deepest are in red.

It would be hard to find someone who lost as much money as quickly as Bill Hwang did in March 2021. The previously unknown Wall Street whale and his family firm, Archegos Capital, triggered losses of more than $20 billion in just two days. The result was one of the most spectacular implosions in modern financial history.  Read more about Bill Hwang on Bloomberg Businessweek: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/featur... #Asia #Storylines #BloombergQuicktake -------- Like this video?

In addition to the Panic At Sea in some quarters there is Panic on Shore as infrastructure including railways and roads, gas and oil pipelines and hazardous hydro electric projects are snaked under Kulshan / Baker a high risk, live, active stratovolcanoes~

Seismology (/szˈmɒləi, ss-/; from Ancient Greek σεισμός (seismós) meaning "earthquake" and -λογία (-logía) meaning "study of") is the scientific study of earthquakes and the propagation of elastic waves through the Earth or through other planet-like bodies. The field also includes studies of earthquake environmental effects such as tsunamis as well as diverse seismic sources such as volcanic, tectonic, glacial, fluvial, oceanic, atmospheric, and artificial processes such as explosions. A related field that uses geology to infer information regarding past earthquakes is paleoseismology. A recording of Earth motion as a function of time is called a seismogram. A seismologist is a scientist who does research in seismology.

Panic At Sea: 100,000 Sailors Stuck At Cargo Ships As Global Shipping Crisis Goes From Bad To Worse

https://youtu.be/GABLJbNvTIc [13:13 minutes]



The explosion in consumer demand over the past year and a half was the trigger of the ongoing global shipping crisis. There was some hope demand for goods would ease this year, but up until now, it has stayed at record highs. On the other hand, wait times have never been longer and the logistical nightmare faced by global supply chains seems to have no clear end in sight. Experts are now predicting that it will take at least another year before the shipping crisis starts to stabilize. However, the uncontrolled spread of the new virus variant and the slower pace of staff vaccination may jeopardize that forecast. Unfortunately, this means also the worst is yet to come. Supply chains are about to face many more disruptions and consumers will have to deal with extensive shortages from now on. The backlog at ports is a problem that has only been intensified since March 2020, compounded by a challenge that definitely won’t be solved in the next five to six months: increasingly large container ships, and ports that haven’t been remodeled to accommodate the gigantic vessels. In fact, the Port of Los Angeles just recorded its busiest month in history, with over 1 million shipping containers waiting to get unloaded. To make matters worse, a shortage of port workers and the unprecedented volume of cargo are overwhelming longshoremen and seafarers who are having to work for months beyond their contracted lines. At this point, the crew change is severely worsening, with thousands of workers trapped at sea for over a year. "I've seen grown men cry," revealed Captain Tejinder Singh, who hasn't set foot on dry land in almost a year and isn't even sure when he'll finally go home. "We are forgotten and taken for granted," he said in an interview with Reuters. At least one hundred thousand workers are stranded at sea as the Delta variant rapidly spreads onshore. The Maritime Labour Convention highlighted that that the maximum continuous period a seafarer should serve on board a vessel without leave is 11 months, but many thousands of crew have now been at sea for over 16 months. “The situation is going from bad to worse. We need more than lip service from governments, we need concrete action that allows crew changes to be carried out in a safe manner,” stressed Stephen Cotton, general secretary, International Transport Workers’ Federation. With virus outbreaks occurring on ships and endangering the lives of marine workers, further disruptions on trade are expected, according to a new Bloomberg report. On the flip side, another 100,000 are stuck on shore, unable to board the ships they need to earn a living on. Can you even imagine the nightmare of being stuck at sea for over a year? According to the United Nations, the situation is quickly evolving into a major humanitarian crisis. Given that only 2.5% of seafarers have been vaccinated, the vast majority of them are not allowed to go back home. An imminent labor crunch could halt global shipping indefinitely and threaten the operations of global supply chains for months. Keeping in mind that the global economy is heavily dependent on the world's almost two million seafarers who operate the global fleet of merchant ships, which transport around 90% of the world's trade, the aggravation of this crisis also poses a major threat to the US supply chains. We are extremely reliant on exports to keep our economy up and running. Everything -- from oil to iron, to food and electronics -- either comes or is processed overseas. According to Insider's Rachel Premack, this also means that American consumers should brace for yet higher prices and shortages of many products. As chaos sweeps across global supply chains, we're might be headed to a holiday season of empty shelves yet again. Right now, the international shipping crisis is deepening the financial pain faced by our producers as U.S. agricultural exports are seeing their shipping times increase dramatically. The imbalances between supply and demand are only intensifying global supply chain woes. And this crisis will only truly ebb when demand does. “The import level we’ve seen in the past year is astronomical and not something that our infrastructure can handle,” as Premack laid out. This is a tumultuous and unprecedented time, and we all should start getting prepared for the imminent chaos while we still can because there are serious threats emerging on the horizon. https://www.epiceconomist.com​
