- Nick Zentner presents 'Baja BC A to Z' during Winter 2022 - 2023.
Wednesdays at 2:00 pm. Saturdays at 9:00 am. Pacific Time.
Central Washington University. Ellensburg, Washington, USA.
Dear viewers: The first 45 minutes of this video are OK...but after that....probably not worth your time. Jerome and I will be doing a special bonus video this Friday, Dec 2 at 2:00 pm Pacific...to make up for our technical difficulties.
Goodies!😄💚💫Thank you, Jerome and Nick!!
Seeing the full production-with the real-world challenges-is very much worth the time. I come from Laramide country, and have seen major sporting events in our mountains stream less-smoothly than this with far more tech and operational crew. Thank you for the full immersion. Looking forward to the make-up session!
We love you Nick and Jerome. Thank you so much for trying. It was cool to see the Geologist try to help.
Thank you for the laughter. I look forward to Friday.
Jerome really gave it the old college try. Lol - I wrote that just before you said it!
👍👍
“Jerome’s in the livechat?” When you have friends, you can’t fail. Thanks Nick.
Except I can't see it in replay!
@@pollyb.4648 It usually takes a couple of hours until the live chat is visible in replay. Some youtube thing, i guess
Nick: Failure is the best teacher. Love the show.
If you don't have an occasional "disaster" you aren't trying hard enough. My dad used to tell me that if you didn't stall the car on a hill every once in a while you are letting the clutch out too slow. Keep pushing the boundaries, don't be afraid!
Love you Nick. Your level of professionalism and calm in this setting of extreme frustration is inspiring. We can all learn from your example!! Bravo Nick! Bravo!
Despite all the things that went wrong, you got the important thing right - ATTITUDE! Nick, Jerome and the audience, YOU ROCK!!
Nothing makes me happier than an hour of Nick talking about talking about Geology, with a few small nuggets of actually talking about Geology mixed in.
I missed the live session today so I’m starting late. But I wouldn’t miss the beginning session or hot mike for anything. The elation I feel is from joining with the positive energy I get from each session. Learning is fun.
If I'd took off work, hired a babysitter and paid $9 for the popcorn I might ask for my money back. But this is highly entertaining. As Monty Python said, " And now for something completely different."
I commented earlier before the technical difficulties arose. You’ve all handled this very well. I feel your pain and admire your pluck and perseverance. The issues didn’t phase this audience, this community, they remained positive and supportive. I still have my learning buzz enhanced by the happiness generated by being a part of this community.
Who knew geology could be so much fun.! Thanks Nick no matter the outcome. I have learned so much. I appreciate it.
Thank you Nick and Jerome - looking forward to a supplemental session this Friday if you guys can pull it off!!! The synergy of of all the geologists working together to toss around ideas and data and interpretations is a key part of what makes these series so fascinating to so many of the amateur armchair geologists like me. Your dedication to making this show happen is very much appreciated
WOW Nick! Your patience was incredible. I appreciate Jerome trying new stuff but life does happen. Thank you for wondering out loud, recognize you're still so many steps ahead of some of us but we are still learning from your second thoughts. That final pic is AWESOME!! We gotta hear more about Finn! Just sayin'. You got this. WE ARE THE STUDENTS, WE SHALL LEARN :D Love you sir stay with it!!
Even with it all it is quite amusing 😆😄and interesting also a bit like sports cause you don't know what the outcome will be so not at all boring. Best wishes to you all for your efforts. Laughing at your toast love your humor and attitude . oh good we'll also see you on Friday I hope . Stay well and warm all . Thanks again
In spite of the mischief of the naughty space aliens, Professor Nick and Jerome provided us with significant knowledge.
WHEN IN THE FIELD IN AN UNTESTED AREA, MAYBE A PRERECORDED ON LOCATION CLIP IN ADVANCE WOULD BE A GOOD BACKUP SO YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE?
JUST TAKE IT AS AFFIRMATION THAT WE ARE HERE FOR THE RIGHT REASONS, LOOK HOW MANY STUCK THROUGH THE WHOLE STREAM , HICCUP AND ALL
WE LOVE YOU NICK
THANKS JEROME, WE APPRECIATE THE EFFORT OF WHAT YOU WERE TRYING TO DO!
"I refuse to fast-forward" LOL This is seriously entertaining. Of course, the scientific part is quite well presented. This professor does not disappoint. Thank you, Sir. It is always a pleasure.
It's a metaphor for the geology. Reading the layers behind Jerome, we are all as clueless as trying to read his mind during the 5G issues.
Thank you Nick and Jerome, you guys did all you could do, looking forward to “bonus Friday” who else would do that for viewers, you guys rock, pun intended… watching this in replay and just saw “without Jerome” in the title of the vid, love your sense of humor Professor Nick, great attitude
Mr Merle Beck, sending good thoughts to you and healing energy enabling you to be well fast. thank you Jerome that was such a good try. we were really wanting to hear what you wanted us to learn. we are open for other times. We are stuck like glue to this feed. we love you we bless you and appreciate the growing pains of live streaming.
It's nice to have a shoulder to cry on, even if it's a shoulder in the road. Thank you Jerome! Considering professor Nick, you are doing all this un funded, you're doin' a helluva job! With help of many friends and colleague's who love you very much as do we your fans. Never stop!
Thanks for the laughs Nick, and Jerome! Good luck! 👍
Thank you Nick and Jerome for your commitment to bringing great content to us geology enthusiasts. Too bad it didn't work out today, but I have no doubt you two will be back with an even better show. We love you Nick!
As a Yukon resident I am excited about the Carmacks group. Watching this in order, so will get there when I get there
I started with the live show, but I had problems on my end. When I was able to tune back in, you and Jerome were having problems. I had missed so much, I gave up for a time. I always enjoy your programs and learn so much. Thank you.
It was still worth watching. Hopefully you will be able to have Jerome on again.
Schist happens....especially to the best of us sometimes.
I love that Nick's INS placement idea, it would make all sense!😃 Now, we just keep learning the evidences that may or may not support the idea by Nick zooming into those focal points?!✨💚
Get well soon, Myrl! Thank you for all you've taught us!
Excellent try, intriguing papers and thoughts, and a lot more entertaining than you are probably willing to admit to…. Lol…
You and Jerome are both awesome!
Hi Nick! I forgot to set my alarm clock, so I missed the live. But here I am, looking forward to hearing what you have to say. Please send Meryl wishes for a speedy recovery.
When I heard that Jerome was on Gabriola I was not entirely surprised that you had bandwidth issues. I am in Switzerland, but my son is married to a woman from Canada and they live in Nanaimo. When I was visiting we went to Gabriola. It's a beautiful place, a wooded island abeam of Nanaimo, but kind of a vacationing spot. You know, the type of place where there is plenty of housing, but not occupied all year round. Dimensioning infrastructure for such places is notoriously difficult, and I can well imagine that the connection to the backbone is not all that great, even if you have a strong signal from the cell tower to your phone.
Hi Nick from Mammoth Lakes!!
Good to know the new planC
Thankyou
I don’t feel so bad about my sketchy internet
Get well soon Mr. Beck! ❤️
Gneiss try, but schist happens
😂
I need that on an official Zenter merchandise t-shirt.
I WANT ONE!
It may have been a train wreck, but I sure enjoyed it. Made me laugh more than once!
Unsolicited (I won’t be hurt if it’s unwelcome!) advice from experience for future on-challenging-location streams:
Camera on tripod if possible causes smoother video due to fewer pixels changing per frame (those spider-wrap handheld tripods can cling to trees). Rocks make good tripods.
When the data signal strength is challenging, giving each device one task (if possible) increases the horsepower available to achieve goal in real time.
We had to work around this kind of location challenge by bring all of our old phones to the hill & set up like a news crew: broadcast van parks within wifi range of broadcast location but where the cell data signal tests with fastest upload, with the fast cell data / wifi hotspot device plugged in to power at the van to increase its available broadcast power.
Lowest-res device camera does the streaming by turning its cell data off attaching to the wifi hotspot in the van. The camera resolution won’t be missed, the cell uplink is the bottleneck and a smaller video stream will fit thru the pipelines smoother.
If possible especially in winter we plug the streaming phone into power/battery pack for better CPU speed and broadcast power to reach the van. The battery getting cold affects how fast and loud it thinks, which doesn’t help when snow is already scattering the uplink signal.
If terrain allows the van to park at or below the elevation of the cell tower with clear line of sight (or at least minimal rock blocking the view) to it, it will have better uplink speed at the same number of signal bars, and be more resilient to snow attenuation due to the stream broadcasting from a location the cell tower antenna is optimized to hear.
Long and short of it: you guys did great and I learned from you! Sharing what limited knowledge I can in hopes of helping someone someday perhaps have a smoother field day.
Two video screw ups in all these videos? That’s kicking ass Nick!! Call the redo the DB Naniamo Group!
Had to check out the comments a little confused about Friday Talks and the D2 lecture attempt... , going to have to check if Friday Talks were/are scheduled and so on...
I love the renaming of this one! The next try *will* work!😊
Still informative video even with its challenges. A lot of info can be gained just through listening. Very interesting.
Fascinating and complicated. Awesome.
Obviously space aliens infused the Nanaimo Group with a WiFi blocking substance. The difficulties experienced in this episode were very amusing and entertaining. Please do not remove this episode. Complicated technology sometimes demonstrates its limitations just to frustrate us and to prove that space aliens are messing with us.
Professor Nick I am a big fan and have been watching for a long time. As an older person I do not like to chat, but content myself with simply watching and listening and learning from you and your guests. You are a person who demystifies geology for the common people. You are the rare type of professor which can make a subject interesting to anyone who cares to listen. I have a great love and admiration for what you are doing and your style of presentation.
This is why it is frustrating for me to watch as The mystification of technology frustrates you. It simply does not have to be this way, take it from ancient me!
I cannot count the number of episodes in which I have watched you read very wrong misinformed advice from your audience, then subsequently take that advice.... Please don't get me wrong, I am not saying this as a criticism of you... I have had my fair share of frustrations with this new fangled technology... But a lot of experts have helped ti demystify it for me. And I watched several months ago as one of those experts who has several degrees in IT Was blocked from your live chat for trying to help you correct the misinformation you were getting from your so called friends.
As an old person who doesn't like to chat but just witnessed this unnecessary thing happen again, I just wanted to encourage you to:
1. Take a short course or 2 in UA-cam and Wireless communication. You don't have to be an expert but knowing a tiny bit will help a ton.
2. Unblock anyone that you have blocked from your channels chat, Assign some MODerators to pay close attention to what is really going on and do the blocking for you.
I only say this because I witnessed your regulars give you the wrong information then a professional correct them and then get blocked. Much love to you and good luck with everything I will probably not chat again. But I will watch for as long as I can and as long as you are posting series about geology lessons. Blessings to you and your family.
Hello from fans in Victoria, BC! Speaking of Nanaimo, just across the water is Protection Island, where the Dinghy Dock Pub beach is loaded with pink pumice. Was wondering where that came from? Thanks for today's video!
I spent many happy days hunting ammonite fossils in the Nanaimo and Comox Groups.
Trent River, Denman Island and Haslam Creek.
I watched this on Sunday December 4th- had things to deal with so got a bit backed up. But the "special spots" thing- I can see why it doesn't appeal. I'd call them Very Important Places... or VIP's for short. 🙂
Nick, I suggest that you look up Carol Finn PHD, if possible. She was a research geophysicist with the Geology, Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center in Denver, CO. She is now retired. But I think she may be as fascinating as the LIDAR mapping guy you interviewed last year.
Nick we could hear and see Jerome and not you most recently and now we see and hear you only but can't see and hear you together with Jerome . We now hear Jerome laughing and see his face. Lol 😆🤣😂😆 probably the storm coming in today now off shore is messing up the internet feed ug. Please do it again after the situation improves in a few days.
I think focal point is a good name for the special spots. Because you’re focusing on these points.
Maybe have Jeromy take a picture and display it behind him, so he can point out the features that illustrate his points. Don't delete this video. Thank you
NT = Northern Territory or The Top End as we say. Great area to visit as a Geologist.
I had a problem receiving your stream on my laptop when you started for some reason today, after I started seeing you then your end had also a problem..., it could be just a coincidence but, maybe something to do with the weather?? You were fine on our TV screen so, I know all this... I was too distracted with all that things happening on the screen, Nick, I was lost!😆 A make up session with Jerome would be great somehow... Thank you so much, Jerome and Nick for your time for being good sports trying things out live!😘💞💗💫
Oh, wow! It's snowing like crazy out right now!!
The west needs snow so badly...!
Fruit cake for the "Lunatic Fringe" is perfect.
I can't hold it.. on the schedule calendar, why is Thursday labelled as R not T?
Also, I must commend your good humour in dealing with the technical gremlins :)
Tim, Somerset UK.
Just an observation. Recent solar activity may be making outdoor location UA-cam pod-casting more difficult. 🤔
58:00 "May still be appearing."
🤣🤣🤣🥰
“The best laid plans of mice and men” and as it turns out, of Canadians and Washingtonians! Way to make a solo purse out of a sow’s you-know-what! What a melange!
Second point: as several others have noted, this appears to have been a field location fail rather than a simple technical fail. More like Drumheller Columns than like the Erin snafu, in other words. Not saying not to attempt this (Jerome's excitement to share the site was palpable), but perhaps best to either test beforehand or to have some sort of fallback plan (others have made more specific suggestions below). Thanks for going to the extra effort to give us the supplementary version of D, Jerome and Nick!
Good try anyway.
Could the mid-cretaceous collisional orogen explain why the Bell Pass Melange terrane is about as old as Alexander and has pieces of Alexander as well as Tethyan fossils that seem to relate it to Cache Creek? I figured there could have been a collision to cause that, but also considered a couple of other options. I considered that perhaps Alexander came through the Tethys sea and then across the Pacific along the same approximate path of Cache Creek, but have had a hard time understanding how Cache Creek came that way given it was so far west of the Pacific spreading ridge (with general westward direction/movement) and considered the potential that perhaps Cache Creek came through the Uralian sea/'arctic' on approximately the same path as Alexander and perhaps collided and then separated prior to Cache Creek joining the twins (Q & S) to form the IMS. Since Bell Pass is a melange, perhaps the timing could have been after the accretion / during the run.
I've also been thinking about the model for westward subduction related to the INS. One question is- since the twins (Q & S) have a volcanic arc history and NA craton basement, doesn't that mean they had to have been made with eastward subduction (at least at some point prior to potential westward subduction)? Perhaps eastward subduction to form the arcs, then eastward subduction until the accretion of INS (connected to IMS) (due to IMS disconnecting from NA after initially accreting) and could the disconnect of IMS from NA craton be due to the (possible) change to westward subduction? 🤔
Okay, my brain hurts.... 🤯
Can't wait for the next one... 🥳 I have a good feeling the tech will be better. 🍀
💐
Hilarious. Kudos for standing for and not being run by.
hell yeah shout out to port hardy. that is where i see this rock formation every day.
Special spots are Cherry Cakes as everything relates to food.
You could do a double bill next show. First do the next scheduled show then after ( or before) have Jerome do his talk and field views. Just an idea.
Well that didn't go as planned. First time for anything like this. So sorry for the techie hiccup in getting your guest.
SPECIAL SPOTS = ACORNS IN THE FRUITCAKE they bring a little something special not normally found (Case Study level of examination)
Just Call them SWEEET SPOTS
Special Spots = Unique Location Maybee? Additional question, If Wrangelia and other terrains slammed into the Pacific North West, Could the Northerly movement of the Terrains be accomplished by the Terrains not actually being able to , i use the term loosely, "weld" itself to the Kraton of old North America, or for geologic or chemical reasons? If so, then it could have "slid" upon the Kraton and hence.....Northward movement...? What i am trying to say is that northward movement was possibly either induced by the contact with the N/A Kraton or by faults, as mentioned as before, but no account was taken for, as far as i have seen, for movement northward to not include the clockwise rotation, maybe this was happening then. I am such an Amateur, if i am wrong in any way, i do not mind being told i am wrong.
There was value in this whole video, so please don't delete it! When reviewing a video, at a minimum viewers who are distracted trying follow both the main presentation and the chat can take their time and follow both. (Why would anyone want to review the chat? In addition to being social and funny, there are questions and speculations. Some of these may drift off the point, but as we all know, there are no dumb questions. Plus there are answers and info from knowledgeable viewers, whether professional geologists or folks like Avana or davidnewton.) And here, of course, Jerome popped up in the chat after he exited the stream.
Your special spots are the 'go to's' in support of the BC.
How about " Nomos Necesario Nanaimo" ?
If you pull the rock hammer from the stone do you become the " King of the Scablands " ?
Oops “silk purse”
Special Spots = Particular Places
Where is Jerome's Starlink?
Special Spots = Focus Point (or FPs).
Exotic Spots?
THE SMALLER WINDOW FOR JEROME ALLOWED A BETTER VIDEO! KEEP HIM IN THE SMALL WINDOW!
What was that map NZ flashed at about 19:19 ?
Special Spots = Singular Sites
Moley. We'll talk about the holy later. Super.
It may be that Jerome is in fact just in a bad place for internet reception, like Nick wondered about. Gabriela is off the beaten track.
Kind of vanilla, but how about “Focus Points”?
If it is broken, edit it down to the parts that work. Don’t waste time.
Nick: COULD THE INS, HAVE BEEN IN THE PACICIC PLATE MOVING NORTH BEFORE IT HIT THE NORTH AMERICIAN CRATON
Am I still a member of your group? I don't think so. Just now, November 30th, I find out that you have been putTING on your shows the entire month of November, and yet I have not heard about them until just now. If I somehow got de-registered, would you please re-register me again.
I “subscribe “ to his UA-cam. You can get notifications but I don’t. I follow Nick on Facebook and he has been sending out announcements for a couple of months.
From you tube, subscribe and click the bell for notifications; if you already subbed, unsub and resub, and click the bell. Sometimes yt gets cocky and resets things.
Ooops !!
Lol funny
Technical difficulty hall-of-fame stuff! The signal-loss is not just suspect, it appears malicious.
"D -take two"
People love a train wreck
Even in extremely slow motion, i.e. collisional terranes.
I really appreciate what Jerome was doing by taking the discussion out into the field. There is nothing better than being able to see the actual rocks you are talking about, with a local expert to explain why they matter and how they contribute to the whole story. Thank you Jerome!
Nick - if possible can you get your guests to summarise the known facts and separate them from their interpretation? Jerome is so good at that.
