Superb footage of our British Columbia coast, before an M9+ Mega Quake and subsequent tsnami– 4:39 minutes

Filmed in high definition. This is mostly not far from my home. The city scenes are of Vancouver.
Enjoy! Amazingly, it was warmer here in the Vancouver area today, than in New Orleans on the Gulf Coast! But when one is already in Paradise…!

If an email is not received, please contact the registration office at register@jibc.ca, 604-528-5590 or 1-877-528-5591. Students must complete the course -- including the discussion boards, exercises, and exam -- within the scheduled dates.

Emergency Management Certificate Program. All materials and text books will be provided in class and no special equipment is required. Please note that all Emergency Management Division courses require 100% attendance. The costs for the 15-credit Emergency Management Certificate are on a course-by-course basis and will vary based on the electives chosen by each student. For individual course prices, please follow the links under “Courses” below and costs will be available for specific offerings in your area. All course materials, including manuals, are included in the course prices.

Please note that international course prices are double those listed on The Justice Institutes of British Columbia's website.

Cascadia, the BIG ONE - M9+ Momentum Flux Mega Quake (moment magnitude scale) Will Soon Hit Western North America - Countdown to catastrophe: Earthquake in North America

Once an earthquake exceeds 7.0 on the Richter magnitude scale (M_L), that scale does not work very well.  It had the goal of quantifying medium-sized earthquakes (between magnitude 3.0 and 7.0).  The Richter magnitude scale was developed in 1935 by Charles F. Richter of the California Institute of Technology as a mathematical device to compare the size of earthquakes. The magnitude of an earthquake is determined from the logarithm of the amplitude of waves recorded by seismographs.)

The moment magnitude scale (abbreviated as MMS; denoted as M_W or M) is used by seismologists to measure the size of earthquakes in terms of the energy released.^[1] The magnitude is based on the seismic moment of the earthquake, which is equal to the rigidity of the Earth multiplied by the average amount of slip on the fault and the size of the area that slipped.^[2] The scale was developed in the 1970s to succeed the 1930s-era Richter magnitude scale (M_L). Even though the formulae are different, the new scale retains the familiar continuum of magnitude values defined by the older one. The MMS is now the scale used to estimate magnitudes for all modern large earthquakes by the United States Geological Survey.^[3]

This movie shows a physics-based computer simulation of the tsunami expected from the next Cascadia Earthquake. The last large Cascadia earthquake happened in January, 1700. It is thought that the fault is getting toward the final stages in the earthquake cycle and could break again at any time. The simulation suggests wave run-ups (tsunamis; sometimes erroneously called tidal waves) of as much as 10 meters (60 feet) could hit most adjacent shores within 30 minutes.

*  The Richter magnitude of an earthquake is determined from the logarithm of the amplitude of waves recorded by seismographs (adjustments are included to compensate for the variation in the distance between the various seismographs and the epicenter of the earthquake). Wikipedia

The moment magnitude scale was introduced in 1979 by Tom Hanks and Hiroo Kanamori as a successor to the Richter scale and is used by seismologists to compare the energy released by earthquakes. sciencedaily.com

Unlike the moment magnitude scale (formerly Richter scale), which measures the energy released by the earthquake, the JMA scale describes the degree of shaking at a point on the Earth's surface, and is analogous to the Mercalli intensity scale. Wikipedia

**  In the various subfields of physics, there exist two common usages of the term flux, each with rigorous mathematical frameworks. A simple and ubiquitous concept throughout physics and applied mathematics is the flow of a physical property in space, frequently also with time variation. It is the basis of the field concept in physics and mathematics, with two principal applications: in transport phenomena and surface integrals. The terms "flux", "current", "flux density", "current density", can sometimes be used interchangeably and ambiguously, though the terms used below match those of the contexts in the literature.
