Andrew Frederiksen (U. Manitoba) gave us a very clear explanation of a better way to analyze shear-wave splitting as a way to probe the fabric (heterogeneities) of the upper mantle under continents.
The red and orange contours of large split times in British Columbia represent aligned olivine from present-day horizontal mantle flow. Splitting in Alberta represents fabrics formed and preserved from the Precambrian.

This afternoon, I was given a tour and demo of the brand new #VirtualReality lab at the Helen Glass Centre in the #CollegeOfNursing in the #RadyFacultyOfHealthSciences at the #UniversityOfManitoba in #Winnipeg.
They are using the #UbiSim #VR software to train #nursing students (https://ubisimvr.com/).
This is the first virtual reality lab at #umanitoba, but both the Department of #ComputerScience and the #Libraries are working on plans for the second and third VR labs! #education #metaverse
