Tyler Hodder @geohodder.bsky.social · 31/08/2026And a province with an even older mining legacy. Pictured below is the Penniac Reef Moore shaft, 1911-1915 production, southeastern Manitoba. So, gather your Manitoba-related thoughts and submit an article to this special issue. 010
Tyler Hodder @geohodder.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Large boulder the size of a small boulder resting nicely on glaciolacustrine silt. 160
Tyler Hodder @geohodder.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Here is a fun one…. LiDAR in NW Manitoba. What we all seeing here? 070
Tyler Hodder @geohodder.bsky.social · 06/06/2026CANQUA in Montreal was a great meeting of Quaternary scientists working in Canada and abroad. It was great to be able to present results from my PhD and further discuss on-going studies in Manitoba, such as this poster based on work in southeastern Manitoba. 020
Tyler Hodder @geohodder.bsky.social · 01/06/2026It’s always fascinating to find whole valves of marine specimens in till - a relatively common occurrence in the HBL. I’m sure this Macoma calcarea has had quite the ride. Glaciers are often perceived as these ‘grinding’ machines, but on a soft substrate this is less true. 041
Tyler Hodder @geohodder.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Captured this at the Winnipeg zoo the other day. Everyone needs a good Polar Bear snuggle these days. 010
Tyler Hodder @geohodder.bsky.social · 29/01/2026We talkin’ bout sand!!! Have to love the versatility of sand. Here is some interglacial sand overlain by till deposited during the Wisconsinan advance, Churchill River, HBL. 083
Tyler Hodder @geohodder.bsky.social · 07/01/2026If we want to have civilized conversations, then we need portray facts accurately. There are a number of things wrong with the Wpg Sun article today re: the Pandemic. The worst one is using conclusions and stats from a clearly withdrawn article. Do better @winnipegsun.bsky.social. 110
Tyler Hodder @geohodder.bsky.social · 17/12/2025Till-dominated stratigraphy with some rare interglacial beds exposed throughout the region. 020
Tyler Hodder @geohodder.bsky.social · 14/12/2025I made a grave error and bought a ‘3D puzzle’ rated 4+ for the kids. This horrific creation is impossible. Each piece changes. Whole thing makes me dizzy but we are committed at this point. 030
Tyler Hodder @geohodder.bsky.social · 13/11/2025I enjoy finding these relatively old literature comments. 020
Tyler Hodder @geohodder.bsky.social · 06/10/2025Yes, we get a lot of “is this a meteorite?” inquiries at the survey. Most often, the rocks are obviously not meteorites. However today someone strolled in with this material. This is by far the densest material that I have ever held. It puts a typical VMS Ni-Cu ore to shame. Anyone? 010
Tyler Hodder @geohodder.bsky.social · 04/09/2025There was also the large (1 m) holes where trees have completely burned downwards. Not to mention the hollowed out trees. Wildfires are something else. 020
Tyler Hodder @geohodder.bsky.social · 28/07/2025The relentless 2025 fire season continues to put northern Manitoba communities under siege. Flin Flon, Lynn Lake and Island Lake earlier this summer. Snow Lake and Leaf Rapids right now. It’s terrifying to think how bad this is going to get in a warming world. The Boreal is already feeling it. 010
Tyler Hodder @geohodder.bsky.social · 08/07/2025I’ve been keeping an eye on the fire near the Ruttan Mine since we were supposed to be heading there next week. It’s grown considerably over the past week. This whole area has been detectable within the last 24hrs. 000
Tyler Hodder @geohodder.bsky.social · 08/07/2025The fire situation in northwest Manitoba is nuts. Hard to comprehend the scale of these blazes. Every red dot is an active fire within the last 1-3 hrs. Only going to get worse with a balmy 28C and gusts up to 40 km/h tomorrow with more lightning to follow. Lynn Lake, Leaf Rapids evacuated. 100
Tyler Hodder @geohodder.bsky.social · 05/06/2025Alright. Need to start posting on this platform. Here is a lovely Omar erratic from the HBL. #Quaternary 000
Tyler Hodder @geohodder.bsky.social · 07/05/2025These Utah Mammoth jerseys are pretty awesome. I think I may need to run our beer league team so I can make some executive decisions moving forward. 010
Tyler Hodder @geohodder.bsky.social · 28/04/2025Nice! Geologists eh… I took such a similar photo back in 2016. 020
