very sad to say goodbye to the Tully and everyone from #pacsafe2025 🥲

we just saw one of the coolest sights yet on the #pacsafe2025 research cruise!! a huge pod of Pacific white-sided dolphins 🐬 looking for food off the back of the CCGS Tully

Black sky with stars, orange and white spots illuminating the horizon.

Black sky with stars and a shooting star.

awesome views from the night shift today for #pacsafe2025, including a shooting star!! fishing boats were just faint glows on the horizon

That wave was a paid actor. 🌊

But seriously, thanks to @nredick.bsky.social and our other Apply-to-Sail participants for capturing some cool moments on #PACSAFE2025!

sneak peek of @thobbsgeo.bsky.social’s interview for #pacsafe2025 during some 6m swells, she’s right: “…you’re not really in control of a lot of things” out here #fieldwork #scienceatsea #womeninstem

Aft deck of a research ship, with many large blue steel stillage crates containing yellow circular ocean bottom seismometers. It is sunny, and one adult man stands on deck looking at the instruments.

Yesterday afternoon we finished the final #Ocean Bottom #Seismometer recoveries for #PACSAFE2025, and started redeploying along the Explorer Plate! Here’s a look at our “full house”, with 23 instruments on deck.

Luckily it’s calmed down into a beautiful day today — fingers crossed to finish our last 3 recoveries for #PACSAFE2025

6 meter swells means no more science today for #pacsafe2025 🥲🥲 even the sub-bottom profiler wasn’t getting any useful data

A yellow seismic instrument is suspended above the ocean from a ship’s crane. In the distance, there are some islands visible. It’s sunny with clouds and the ocean is a deep blue.

Today we’re recovering #Ocean Bottom #Seismometers from near Cape St. James at the southern tip of #HaidaGwaii. They’ve been listening for a year and we hope they’ll tell us more about how the Pacific, North America and Explorer #TectonicPlates interact in this complex triple junction.

Some critters hitched a ride on our ocean bottom seismometers for #PACSAFE2025, but we don’t know what they are. Found in the north east Pacific off the coast of BC, Canada, from depths of around 2000m. Any #biologists or #marine #scientists have ideas? @whoi.edu ?

If you’re not already, consider following one of our #PACSAFE2025 Apply-to-Sail students, Nathalie!

A seismometer (yellow donut-shaped instrument) is suspended from a ships crane, off the side of the boat. It is visibly windy.

Had a sporty day yesterday on #PACSAFE2025: an instrument released early so we had to make a 3hr detour to get it before the storm carried it off. 4m seas by the time we got to it, but the awesome deck crew of the 🇨🇦 #CoastGuard Tully pulled it off no problem.

Today we start PACSAFE recoveries!

Hello from the North Pacific! We’re out on the #PACSAFE2025 cruise, deploying Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS) off the west coast of Canada. 🇨🇦

We spent the last 3 days at Endeavour Seamount, an underwater volcano expected to erupt soon. @rdave6.bsky.social & I got a selfie with it!

Survived day & night 1 aboard the CGS Tully! Sun is coming up and my food has not.

About a day away from stop 1: the seamounts along the Endeavour Segment of the Juan de Fuca ridge
