Tsunami
ONC tests earthquake early warnings
Media release
Ocean Networks Canada has installed the final set of underwater earthquake early warning sensors off the west coast of Canada, and will mark a significant operational milestone in partnership with Protrans BC, operator of Vancouver’s Canada Line rapid transit system, with a simulated exercise.
Tsunami detection array
The Ring
The installation of components of a deep-sea tsunami “antenna”—the first of its kind in the world—is one of the highlights of the current NEPTUNE Canada ocean expedition off the west coast of Vancouver Island. The star-shaped array of four ultra-sensitive bottom-pressure recorders is being positioned at the ends of new 25-km arms of powered fibre-optic cable and will, when completed, provide real-time data to Canadian scientists and the Pacific Tsunami Warning Network.
"Gray tsunami" a myth

Grim predictions that our rapidly aging society will act like a “grey tsunami” to overwhelm and bankrupt our health care system aren’t accurate, according to UVic’s Canada Research Chair in Social Gerontology Neena Chappell and Marcus Hollander, president of Victoria-based Hollander Analytical Services.
