While working at UBC, I’m often amazed by some of the some spectacular sunsets I have ever seen. If you’re interested in learning more about the weather associated with these clouds have a look at the Cloud Appreciation Society website.
If you are interested in learning more about the weather in general, check out the Weather School.
For a more complete list of websites have a look at the Science and Engineering Library subject guide for Atmospheric Sciences
Today’s weather in Vancouver? Kiel?

Scott Dunbar is an associate professor in the Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering at the University of British Columbia. His recent work on biomining was highlighted in UBC Reports a few months ago – “The virus that binds: A novel idea marries biology and mining”
You can see much of the biomining research in the Web of Science database (for UBC folks, here is the direct link to the appropriate search )
