- From 2016: CWU's Nick Zentner at Dry Falls State Park in north-central Washington. "Nick On The Rocks" is a series of short geology videos that air on Public Television stations across the Pacific Northwest.
I loved the animation and I'm looking forward to hearing more about dating rocks
I was passing the Coulee and Dry Falls repeatedly in late 1982 for work, and never did lose my awe of the place
These videos stand as a testament to the wonderful geology resource you've created and a pretty good way to get the viewers all fired up for the A to Z starting in November! Thanks, Nick.
Will this be a new AtoZ ?
Answering my own comment! An earlier video announced Ice Age Floods A-Z in Nov 2023 !
I always enjoy your videos, sir. I really liked the water visuals in this one, it's more impactful than just imagining. Thank you!
This must Episode 1 of the new season. So awesome to know Nick on the Rocks brought me to this channel and now, here we go again!
This episode is from season 1.
He went over this a little in class today.
Good series. Thanks for re-uploading them.
When I watched with my granddaughter "Ice Age 2", I thought it irrational, for our Northern Germany dammed glacier lakes did not break out, but drained northward to the sea. Thank you, it's very interesting.
Videos better by the day. You are the professor everyone wished they had!
Wow! Just... wow! Your productions were already great, but... wow.
I water skied and jumped off the cliffs at Sun Lakes, Dry Falls Deep lake about 60 years ago, I had no clue but had some questions. Thanks
This is from season 1, 2016. I noticed that PBS Passport is now offering all four seasons. I hope that means they will have the new erpisodes when they are ready to show.
Another classic 2 Minutes of Nick on the Rocks episode. Have learned so much from these. Thank you Mr Nick.
AMEN. I would love to be young again.
I look out my window at the ridges overlooking the East end of Rock Island, Washington just above Batterman Rd. and can see the fractured lava on the cliffs above and can relate to this well done video presentation.
Worked an alfalfa farm in high school, clearing rocks from a field. We saved the biggest for last and could not move it. After digging down a few feet around the rock there was native American markings. Later in life realized it was placed there by a flood, 2 miles up hill from the columbia river.
Love the nick on the rocks
Great video. I love the simulation of the water.
That animation was awesome! Always have tried to imagine what it’d look like, hard to comprehend how large of a displacement went through
Awesome. I would like to know more about geochronology.
Given that we now know that humans were in North America around 15-20,000 years ago, it's wild to think that maybe just maybe a few of them witnessed this massive flood. Wild.
30,000 years maybe, from a recent find in NM. These floods must have looked apocalyptic to them if they were around. Or they would have complained about it wrecking their favorite fishing spots.
@@fallinginthed33p I wonder if these ice age floods became part of the lore or history.
@@charliewatts6895 I doubt it. I don't think anyone could have survived these floods. The water level would have quickly risen by hundreds of feet and any encampments in river valleys would have been destroyed.
I live here! Well, here in Ephrata. It's cool to see the basin getting some attention!
It's amazing to think of this bone dry desert was not only the sight of massive floods, but of lush forest and Gingko trees.
Would you tell me more about this lush forest and
That is what I was told. I know there is petrified wood all over the place. Saddle Mountain, Moses Coulee and of course Gingko Petrified Forest. All in the central part of the central Washington desert. @@josephkaiser800
Alway love a NIck on the Rocks episode!! I would also love to know if there is a table somewhere showing all the erratics that have been tested and dated with this technique together with their location and elevation. Think how this might have changed how Bretz viewed the landscape while he was formulating his explanation!
When that giant waterfall simulation was occurring, Dryfalls was already cut back to its current shape, which means there were many many many many many more floods before that one simulation
That drone view animation never gets old. However the animation show the present day basalt that remains after the last
of over a dozen or so amazingly big floods happened. You mentioned over 350 feet of water careening across the land
but a shot with a real size RV on a road ahead of the flood that is at best 15 feet tall shows the animation flood very conservatively high at about 60 feet and not the 350 feet tall flood as mentioned. That's not shown here but is in your
"making of the animation" video . Would love to see a more modified vid where the basalt land forms were like before
any flood and the actual 350 feet of flood water with erratics and small chunks of icebergs digging up the basalt
formations as the very first flood did its work! I bet you would too Nick! Computers today can handle that animation
work better than back in 2016 and would love seeing pre Dry Falls flood animation made today !
Hello I see are of a like mind.
Also very interesting that there is something called the "Ephrata fan". I've never heard of that before.
Excellent!! Fresh, with a variety of perspectives, science and visuals. I'm happy to see the flood gaining on the motorhome included. Looking so good, Nick.
I live in west virginia and I've been watching his lectures for years
EXCELLENT, I enjoyed the fast pace - quick points and especially Andrea’s smile as she explained her craft … like “Iiiiiii got this” - super enjoyed it Nick - Good Job
Been there several times. Building the excitement.
I love dry falls, my spirit sings there. I love this video.
Nick On The Rocks was such good show
Hello from Salmon, Idaho...In watching your video on the "Dry Waterfalls". I really enjoyed your water from the Missoula Ice Age, flooding over the desert of central Washington current of today. unless someone has already thought of it, why not show the (flat)?? desert plains and then the results of the action of the waters today.
This new dating technique sounds interesting and useful - hope we get to see some results soon
Is it that new? This episode is from 2016. Cosmogenic radionuclide dating is a fascinating technique that looks for certain elements and isotopes known to be created from exposure to cosmic rays. The longer a rock surface has been exposed to the air, the more time it's had to be bombarded by cosmic rays, and the amount of certain isotopes changes.
LOVE that intro !
Epic as always
Exellent
Who did the flood fluid visualization at the beginning of the vid? Looks well done and modeled off the actual topography
❤❤❤
in about one week I'm going to receive 1932 THE GRAND COULEE BY BRETZ COLUMBIA WASHINGTON AMERICAN GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY in the mail! I found a copy in England. All maps and stereographic images included.
Jealous!
It is awesome. It is easily a book to get lost into and keep reading. I found one in a little old book store in Spokane. Enjoy the read!!
Does anyone know when the new PBS segments Nick referenced might be released?
Dios te bendiga 🙏🏻 Nick por la muy interesante y apasionante información que nos brindas con estos videos.
Mi sueño en la vida es conocer personalmente los Scablands y visitar Missoula y conocer con mis propios ojos toda esta bendita maravilla de Dios.
Saludos y bendiciones desde el bello Cancún 🇲🇽🌴🐠🌊🌞
Question： There is a huge rock in Big Rock Park sammamish, is it delivered by ice sheet?
Yhea, image trying to throw your satellite dish and big old solar panels into that shuttle bus and driving that shuttle bus out of there before you sank it. Pretty cool video!
3:28 Two Sisters on the left.
Good content as always, but the tone shifting with the music was a lot
I really want to know how they can date when a drop-stone was dropped!!
Hope that guy in the RV gets away! :)
Probably some young guy with a bunch of nerdy friends driving his parents RV. Bet they were pissed when he got home. Probably kicked him out of the house.
😎
Ok so - if Nick on the Rocks was a drink, what would be in it? 😅🤔
Nick is this your new series ?
It's old (from 2016 ) but as a refresher for coming this Winter he is going to do Ice Age Floods so stay tuned.
Thank You for replying , I look forward to it @@hestheMaster
And to think that the Missoula Floods happened ~40 times...🤔
I wonder what the white water canoe folks would rate Dry Falls?
Holy crap Nick..have you lost weight? Love the vids!
More animations! Better idea of scale!
The cello is much better than the guitar 😉
