Just published in Nature Water: Associate Professor of Hydrology Ali Ameli and co-authors discovered that most rivers in the world don't respond to rainfall the same way twice. But BC's West Coast rivers are a global outlier! https://www.eoas.ubc.ca/news/1789582149 @ali-ameli.bsky.social

A global analysis of catchments underscores the complexities of modelling river fun off and flooding—and provides new tools for hydrologists. @eoas.ubc.ca science.ubc.ca/news/2026-09...

We're hiring! EOAS at UBC is seeking a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in U-Pb Geochronology. Join Canada's top-ranked Earth Sciences department! Applications close Oct 14, 2026. https://ubc.wd10.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/ubcfacultyjobs/job/Assistant-Professor--Tenure-Track-_JR25854

That’s a wrap on my 3rd year co-teaching @eoas.ubc.ca's Vancouver Summer Program! From 15 students in year 1 to 42 this year, from all over the world and varied programs, + developing a new Sustainability course — it’s been a great way to develop my teaching 🧑‍🏫🌎 Exhausting, but very rewarding.

Mercury is the only known planet other than Earth that has both a global magnetic field and a field created by magnetized rocks in the crust. New research by UBC Earth scientists is detangling Mercury’s magnetic mysteries. In @pnas.org @eoas.ubc.ca doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Join PhD Candidate in Oceanography Becca Beutel @bbeutel.bsky.social for her first research cruise on the La Perouse biochemical survey! Spotting whales, dolphins, squid, pteropods... sounds like a pretty great first research cruise experience, even if we agree the night shift sounds a bit scary!

My paper with Susan Allen, @jilian0717.bsky.social, @jaytcullen.bsky.social, & @tiaanderlini.bsky.social is out! We show how Pacific source waters shape property flux into the Salish Sea, and separate dynamical vs property-driven change—useful for understanding coastal conditions in a changing ocean

The discovery of the first major lithium-bearing pegmatite in B.C. — and the geochemistry behind it — could help make Canada more self-sufficient in #criticalminerals resources. @eoas.ubc.ca mineralogist Dr. Catriona Breasley discusses her discovery via @science.ubc.ca medium.com/ubcscience/b...

UBC mineralogist Dr. Catriona Breasley has made the first significant discovery of #lithium in B.C. "There could be much bigger deposits out there,” she says. “We just haven't found them yet." @eoas.ubc.ca Learn more: bit.ly/4nPQOvV youtu.be/SV3yY1aaW6M
