I want to note that some sources do not think this feature is a supervolcano. However, these same sources agree that the large caldera DOES exist. Thus, I am making the assumption that the 100 m thick ignimbrite mentioned in one of the linked scientific paper’s in this video’s description is the relevant deposit from the caldera forming eruption. I used several methodologies to estimate the deposit volume, and different features mmmm evidence all pointed towards the same 350-400 km^3 figure.
I actually enjoy videos on historical geological events. This is especially true when covering areas that would normally leaving a person scratching their head asking “why is this here?”
Visiting cool geological sites is exactly what I do on vacation so the EU really got this sponsorship right. I'm glad you're getting sponsorships like this, instead of weird games and supplements.
Congrats on the sponsorship, especially given the incredibly informational material (and generally interesting subject matter)! I hope to see more of these in the future :D
I love the fact that you are being sponsored by a multinational government organization to educate. Without being part of that organization or being a company created by them. Edit: i mean this in a good way!
Speaking collectively, the volcanoes of mainland Europe are scary because they've mostly been dormant since before living memory (or even before historic memory) and Europe is much more densely populated now than it was whenever they last erupted. I'm not sure if any of the European volcanoes outside Greece and Italy are monitored; most people don't even know they're there, and even if they do, they're certainly not ready for an eruption. Worst case scenarios waiting to happen...
The only really concerning ones are Laacher See or potentially Ciomadul (assuming it's still capable rather than just slowly dying) and both are monitored. Chaine de Puys could be concerning should it reactiavate and I'm not sure how much France is how many seismic monitoric stations they have, but the rest are mostly small cinder cones not to mention those kinds of volcanic fields tend to erupt very rarely and may take an extreme amount of time before a new active episode.
Thanks! As I have stated in the comment section of yesterday's video, it is fascinating to think that just 20 or 30 million years ago, Southern Europe was a geologic mess, full of continental fragments, microcontinents and terranes accreting to Central Europe to produce the landscapes and ocean basins we know today. You should really cover some other lesser known and extinct supereruption calderas or large volcanic areas. The Parana and Etendaka traps, which might have had the largest explosive eruption that we know of (The Guarapuava Tamarana Sarusas supereruptions), is an example.
Everything everyone else is saying, but also want to say how much I appreciate the effort you go to to properly enunciate the names of volcanos and then you also spell them correctly (or transliterate well) in the closed captions. I may be just a little too concerned about both of those, but you sure make it pleasant to listen and learn from!
A really cool video on a fascinating geological feature, and great to hear that you have found a sponsor for your channel (even if in a limited capacity.) Glad that all of the excellent work you have put in helping to inform people is being recognized.
Good video. I would like to suggest a few other volcanoes that you probably have not covered. I would like to learn more about these volcanoes because there is not a whole lot of information perhaps because they are in such an arid and desolete region, that it is not possible for scientists to study them and/or maybe because they will never erupt again. The volcanoes are La Reforma Caldera, Tres Virgins which consists of three volcanoes: La Virgin, El Azufre, and El Viejo, El Aguajito Caldera aka Santa Ana Caldera, and the San Quintin Volcanic Field. These are all located throughout Baja California and there are more volcanoes, but I did not name all of them. I look forward to seeing more videos in the future!
Nice win-win situation for you here -- getting paid, _and_ it's actually very interesting geology, and this sort of unusual deposit with the volcanic history is entirely in keeping with what the channel covers anyway.
The development of Slovakian (and surrounding area) silver mines in the 7th century was a major impetus for Charlemagne's conquest of the area in the name of Christianizing the heathens. There was an explosion of silver coinage using new minting techniques (thin flan vs. Roman thick flan) than resulted in exchangeable monetary systems across Europe.
Please do an update about Askja and last but least now the surprising uplift in Torfajökull (last erupted in 1477 but that was an intrusion from other volcanic systems the icelandic scientists say)
This reminds me of a video that I’ve never heard anything about it since then. In Europe, we know Germany’s historic volcanos, volcanos no longer active. However, I haven’t see anything on the super volcano mentioned in a video. That video mentioned that until the space age, no one had identified the valley area really a filled in super volcano. Seen from the sky, they realized it was close to round. The possibility of it being a gift of crash landing a space rock into planet Earth wasn’t mentioned, only that they had identified it as a super volcano. Since then, I’ve never read or seen anything about it. I seem to remember a mention of a 100 mile wide caldera. Are you familiar with it at all? I don’t remember much else about it other than it was in Germany. When one person commented on the EU, that’s when it jogged my memory.
To be fair, Laacher See and the Eifel area in general are confirmed to still have present magma chambers so they may erupt again at some point in the future. There's also an area near the Czech border that is leaking magmatic gases confirming magma still at depth. As for why the Slovak one has never been mentioned it has been extinct for millions of years as the volcanism in the Carpathians has mostly died out with the exception of maybe Ciomadul in Romania.

Congrats on getting sponsored! Ďakujeme Slovensku, že podporuje tento kanál a poskytuje nám obsah o vašej krajine!
Zabawne, że jako Polak doskonale rozumiem co napisane jest po Słowacku, pozdrowienia z północy!
Nikdy by som nečakal že niekto od nás by ho takto sponzoroval :D
Congrats on the sponsorship! Well deserved!
This is great content regardless of it being sponsored. Neat topics youve been covering.
I am so glad that you got this sponsorship. I knew nothing about the geology of this part of Europe and I am finding it fascinating.
Nice video! You should cover more supervolcanoes in Central Europe like Altenberg-Teplice caldera or Wurzen caldera
A direct, honest and eloquent way to mention a sponsor. Another great video, thanks for posting.
I love the fact that you are being sponsored by a multinational government organization to educate. Without being part of that organization or being a company created by them.
Edit: i mean this in a good way!
I'm glad that you're being paid to do something you love and not by some company totally unrelated to this channel!

The EU is doing something right that USGS isn't.
Don't blame the USGS. They'd love to do more but don't get the funding.

I like these videos, they highlight areas I might want to visit one day.
nice, I hope you'll cover more European geology in the future
Fascinating stuff!! Slovakia looks beautiful. 👍
Awesome video, very satisfying, thank you again! Hoping to see something about Poľana someday but this video really nailed it for me, what a treat 😅

I'd wish to hear something about volcanism in Poland as it is hard to learn anything about it
Your sponsorship is so much better and more interesting than some game ad, like most channels! I'll watch your's all day long..
🇪🇺 happy for your sponsorship
Amazing geological history!
These are so good. Can you get more countries to pay for these.?
Nice win-win situation for you here -- getting paid, _and_ it's actually very interesting geology, and this sort of unusual deposit with the volcanic history is entirely in keeping with what the channel covers anyway.
I hope the next video will be about Pol'ana. That volcano is still quite high and clear.

Congratulations on getting paid 🎉. Good thing the earth settled down several thousand years ago so it makes it easier on us😂
I really enjoyed this video
That volcano looks like Mount Rainier!
Awesome that you got paid for this by the EU. Hope they keep sponsoring your content.
You should do a video about the zuidwal volcano in the Netherlands.

@@Arthion thank you. I’ll look those up. That’s valuable information.
Yaaaaaaass!! Get that money Geohub!! And what a beautiful place Slovakia is :')
Sucks I only speak English, Slovakia seems like a beautiful country to visit.
You can get by on English if you are humble and not a 'loud American'.
Can you please do pico de orizaba volcano from mexico when you can
As cool as the other one...
And the pronunciation is good now!
Have you covered famous interesting Road Cuts?
great video this is the sponsored content i like
gud work soldier
I magine there would be gold under that lake thats gone, on top of the bedrock.
Please talk more about the gold. Delighted you are sponsored but this "gold" reference is CODE for something. Is this ALCHEMY?
What the hell is Skacnica? I'm reading Stiavnica.
Are there empty magma chambers that do not collapse?
Yes, there’s one in Iceland that you can travel down into
@@zk8738, wow!
@@Mnogojazyk ua-cam.com/video/flBnBOUuoio/v-deo.htmlsi=PNzyTZ-jhqTJnaHG that’s a video of it from an Icelandic channel
Get that paycheck!!!! Glad to see it.
Switzerland
Woo
slow down I can't keep up thank you
🗨️📺
Thank god it’s extinct
One more paid video? How disappointing
Why? It's actually good because he's getting paid for his passion which he shares with us.
Would you be disappointed if someone from your country paid him to cover interesting stuff there?
I mean, I'd rather have this than a Raid Shadow Legends or NordVPN sponsorship.
@@frzferdinand72 Or Skillshare, or fine art investing.
Yeah. He should just live on likes and positive comments. 😂
