Will say it again, there are many of us here that Really look forward to these sessions, Thank You Nick! This is the Best thing that has come out of the unfortunate craziness.
With the share of my time that I can devote to watching your lectures, it sometimes feels as if I'm trying to take a drink from a firehose, but I keep coming back again and again because your presentation makes the information accessible and interesting, and even though it may not be a field where I expect to use the knowledge extensively, it's still fascinating to learn about.
I've been watching your videos since 2013 and from the first, I've wished that I'd had an instructor as entertaining and informative as you. I had been interested in geology as a kid but during my university days in the early 70s I found that the professors were dull and very 'academic'. If they'd had your approach and enthusiasm I may have become a geologist. Thank you for reigniting my interest.
You’re very modest. When you say you will have a small role in the North Cascade Reasearch Team I am again reminded of Jeff Tepper said “..only you could inspire 700 people to care about boron/beryllium issue…”. At our level YOU are the face of geology. That’s important. You have taught us on our level. In doing so we have become friends. Friends listen to friends. I have recommended your lectures and videos to many of my friends. Others have done the same. So the audience grows. You will be a big part of the success of the North Cascade Research Team as far as participation is concerned. You will bring a built in audience. We all look forward to sharing the experience with you.
I'm 40 minutes in and finally figured out why I enjoy your channel so much, you speak about as fluently as I do scientificess. You are excellent at asking the right questions and translating into English what they mean. You're amazing Nick! I somehow unsubscribed for about a year, but I'm back to catch up on everything I missed! I'm actually feeling a bit inspired, you might be getting an email from me. We'll see how life takes me in the next few months.
I don’t think I’ve ever watched anybody that I’ve liked to listen to more. Thank you for just being yourself with these and for keeping yourself humble and for being genuine to your Education as well as everyone else’s. It Is actually very much appreciated.
BrantFord Ontario 🇨🇦 NICK IM 82 and am now home bound. You have kept me entertained. I just want to say THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY, THE SHARING OF YOURSELF IS GREATLY APPRECIATED FROM AN OLD MOHAWK INDIAN.
You are right on about the insanity around the world. Ever since I started watching you, I knew that you are one of the people on the earth who knows what love, honor, and respect is and who actually manifests it in your life. So I am so happy to hear you talking about wanting to have a sane place to be. So thanks again, Nick, for sharing who you are. I look forward to hearing about the Crazy Eocene Epoch!
Playing with words like Lego pieces: Rhea means "flow", as in rhinorrhea (runny nose) and other bodily "rheas" you might be familiar with. So "rhea" + "ology" is the study of flow. Studying how different magmas and lavas flow sounds awesome.
And here's to you, Dr. Nick. I feel your enthusiasm and it enthuses me. You do wonders for my almost 79 year old mind. It is good to be enthused at 79 (Nov 28th.) It's never too late to learn and we can learn at our speed, going back over sessions as required and no exams. I especially like the A to Z approach. Good luck and a special Thank You for sharing your knowledge with us.
One thing I notice is that we're talking about a time frame between when we finished accreting the fruit cake and started building the Cascades. This should be very interesting.
Its All so exciting ! This is my first time commenting . I started watching during beginning of the lockdowns. I,m not sure how I even ended up on your site. I,m a covid nurse. We got hit hard starting in March 2020 . I really want to" Thank You" for helping me through many difficulty days/nights after work . It was your calm, funny and interesting approach that brought me to a place where I could relax a bit. I watched and rewatched them , and learned a few things. Mostly, it gave me something nice and peaceful to look forward too . Bring on Eocene A . Thanks Again Nick !

If you start this list at 0:00 and then Nick copies it into the video description, it will automatically create navigable video chapters in UA-cam 😉. Nice work!
Hi Nick! Emy C from Mountlake Terrace watched after soccer today - Penny age 11 & Marci age 9 popped in & out (and say hi) as it played on the tv. Happy to start next alphabet w you. Visited Diablo lake & Washington pass this summer as my pre-work ;) Cheers!
Nick, thanks again for all you do for this "community" of sane people. Sorry we missed this episode live yesterday- (we were helping Kathy's parents move} we hope to catch most of these live. Thanks again Bob and Kathy
I love all of your videos. I have learned so much. I enjoy getting to watch them whenever I like. I often watch them to help me go to sleep. I get really bad insomnia. Dont worry, if I fall asleep, I do go back and finish the video from the last thing I remember.
Working near Kamloops fascinated by some local geology here I tried looking up some research. I came across your Eocene X. It was so good. Here I am at A. Studied geology at the UOfCalgary. Looking forward to the whole series!
The A-Z series had the perfect level and tone, really appreciated the the balance of advanced ideas and topics with good simplification, and still reviewing easier topics to reinforce and solidify them.
Oh thank you for saying you don't understand the report you were reading 🙂! I got maybe half (or less) of that too, but it did set the little grey cells to work translating terms to mental pictures, lol. Love that you are taking us along on your learning experience. Don't worry about the camera. It's working even if you can't see it. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Okay, Teach: the tech glitches be damned. I care not a fig if i have to stand on one leg, tilt my head and recite the Pledge of Allegiance whilst drinking a glass of tepid water in order to watch. I will do it, and do so willingly, if that is what it takes. Do ya dig what i am layin’ down, daddy-o? What the hell else am i gonna do…housework?! HAH!! Not bloody likely, mate. But, seriously, your efforts to share all of this with all of us are greatly, truly, and madly appreciated, more than you can ever know. Peace, Love, and Brown Rice, baby.💋😎💋
Hi Nick! I caught the tail end of yesterday's show, so I watched it all this morning. I got my flu shot Friday, so I felt really bad yesterday, so I didn't participate in the chat much. Hopefully, I will more in the future. the course sounds very interesting and it's good to see you live again. You've got the knack. Be well.
I believe your Talking Heads move at 1:26:20, and the line "Same As it Ever Was", (and "Water Flowing Underground"), came from their "Once in a Lifetime" video. Not sure how Burning Down The House was used in the title of their paper, but it was worth watching you describing it! A flashback to 1980 for sure. lol Thanks for the new series!
Prof. Zentner and all the great geologists whom you are referring to in your lectures: thank you for making me more addict to amateur geology studies than some people are to soap operas and serials :-) Although it"s not easy to follow this very complex material, but it opens my eyes wide to how the knowledge in geology is reformed still in every second of our lives :-) As far as the quality of the broadcast is concerned, here in Europe, Hungary watching it after the live lecture from around the middle of the course the voice and the picture got into delay and quite hard to follow, but not impossible. After all geology as such is so complex that it's really not for all levels of intelligence :-) So, I write 'tumbs' for the supporting technics from the side probably of your internet provider, although I'm doing it with a delay, and I appologize for that :D God bless all geologists and all of us to make it safe during these challenging times
Been interested in geology for decades. Know virtually nothing, and I don't speak "geological research." I've stuck around through Geology 101 and Geology 351 online because there's a nugget every once in a while that gives me some insight. I rarely remember terminology until I've heard it about 100 times, but I taught political and cultural history for decades in a public high school, and, having retired from that, I'm interested in earth's history, as well, I remain hopeful. Oh, and I'm enamored of the Rocky Mountains, and have been for a long time. I've spent a lot of time and energy hiking in them, from New Mexico to Montana, especially in Colorado. Camera #2 cuts off your head, for what it's worth a few hours after the fact.
I love how Nick call the higher ups "Well dressed" not "Suits". I guess that would not be very nice. Sorry not trying to be rude. I think that the whole program is absolutely top notch with much respect to Mr.Nick and viewers alike.
Totally 'here' and 5x5 and I busted up when you said "coffee cart". T'would be nice to Pin that Eocene updated time chart to the side of your Blackboard. Thanks to you I now know that half of Washington is leftover orphaned earth-mass that the Southers kicked up towards the North! And tectonics. You need a small brass sign in the corner that says "I'm bringing the pretty rocks tomorrow..."
Hi Nick, thanks so much what you are doing. I'm living here in the Rockies, but left Washington 40 years back, leaving my footprints all over those Eastern Cascades, especially the Icicle. Please feel free to keep it up, we really enjoy your shows and I'm loving to be learning again about my favorite subject, Geology. I'm older now and the body is shot, so I'm learning at a distance from my home in Montana, near the Crazy Mountains and Absarokees. I spent my life in these mountains and yours, thanks again.
Had to work today and missed this live. No scrubbing ahead for me as I enjoy the prelude to the lecture as much as the lecture itself. Again, a great way to unwind from the work day. ( adding to my comment as I have watched a bit of the video ) In my opinion, and I’m confident that I am not alone, I feel that the decision to ask you to be the ‘public voice’ of this North Cascades Research team is perfect as you have the dynamic ability ; in the same way that Neil DeGrasse Tyson communicates Astrophysics to the general public, to disseminate the geological understanding and discoveries that we all look forward to learning about when the scientific paper(s) are written. Along with the familiarity with expressing these concepts in a live: EWU Public Lecture Series and this ‘virtual’ setting here on UA-cam, environment to us the average person, you have grown a community of followers/students of geology that would benefit all of us in one way or another from your addition to the team. Congratulations ! ( I think ….. hahaha ) We all are excited about this experience and look forward, with eager anticipation, to adding to the understanding of our world in the Pacific Northwest and as that translates into the southern part of ,where I grew up , British Columbia.
Watched this series opener with "E" coming up in two days! Yikes! Nick I'm happy to see you using a wet eraser on the chalk board. I worry about all that chalk!
I took a National Parks geology class at the University of Utah a dozen years ago. I would love to see this topic presented with Nick’s signature touch. 😊
If you can't admit you don't understand something, you'll never really learn it. The best habit I developed in the last few years is to stop bluffing and overstating my knowledge of whatever someone's asking me about. I wasn't really super-big on it, but letting it go completely and just saying 'I don't know' is so freeing.
I am 2/3 of the way through watching this on my television. I am astonished at how bad both the picture and the sound are. Every time you turn around and move away from the camera the sound dims. I don’t recall ever having problems with this before in your other broadcasts. It’s very distressing because I know you’ve gone to so much effort to try to make it all work properly. But that is how it is. Best of luck Nick!
Another smart decision to stay away from oceanic plate speculation. My speculation for the Great Pacific Plate shift in the Eocene, is that it was initiated by the accretion of the Yakutat/Siletz Plateau as an obstruction, and naturally corrected its motive direction by reactive motion adjustment seeking the path of least resistance.
Great start to a new series. I like the hunger for new learning based on incomplete answers of the past. How did the Rockies form? The chalkboard ballet is just a bonus.
Red chalk was very difficult to see When you walked to the back of the room the volume dipped low like the BT mic was not on 1:07:50 It was more difficult to hear with your back to camera, possibly because the BT mic was off? Really like that there is plenty of room for multiple chalk boards! It seems like it is the application melon that is the issue with cameras, not you. Possible you can physically label the cameras to help keep them strait? Cant wait until Wednesday, thank you!
The extension sounds like impact reflection (?). Exotic terrane bounce-back? Even under compression a material will have reflective waves back through an impacting material. I am thinking of a vehicle impact. Relative to an impacting vehicle, during the collision, parts will be moving backwards (reflecting) while the back of the vehicle is still moving into the collision. Collisions are complicated. Timing is important! Maybe an earlier terrane acted as a crumple zone? (stuck in the vehicle analogy).
The top part of your head is cut off when you switch to the 2nd (Mellon camera.) I could see you with both camera views. The green board looks a bit sharper with the new camera.
You said thirty years. I left University of Northern Colorado at Greeley 1993, so real close to thirty years. Top of the high peaks of the Rockies are flat- Eocene erosional surfaces...the top of the Rockies.
Will say it again, there are many of us here that Really look forward to these sessions, Thank You Nick! This is the Best thing that has come out of the unfortunate craziness.
Echo this, I watch this in replay half a world away.
Here we go. Rewatch for homework to prepare for the Cascade A to Z. :)

Nick Zentner for president! Save the world, Nick - you're saving mine
And here's to you, Dr. Nick. I feel your enthusiasm and it enthuses me. You do wonders for my almost 79 year old mind. It is good to be enthused at 79 (Nov 28th.) It's never too late to learn and we can learn at our speed, going back over sessions as required and no exams.

Happy Birthday Don
@@MarcoPollo77 Thank you Matt. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Glad you're back again, Nick. hope you had a good time away from the camera!! ⛰️🏞️🌋
One thing I notice is that we're talking about a time frame between when we finished accreting the fruit cake and started building the Cascades. This should be very interesting.
I can’t wait for the Oligocene, Miocene and Pliocene A-Z next year!
Its All so exciting ! This is my first time commenting . I started watching during beginning of the lockdowns. I,m not sure how I even ended up on your site. I,m a covid nurse.

Nick your great! Don’t worry about glitches…just adds to the beauty of your presentation
Proud to have been part of the ride from the start. Found nick while looking for mels hole.... doesn't exist.
Any leads or links to kill the rumored Mel's hole? Otherwise, Nick! Take us as close as you can to it and lead us in!
Glad to see you back teaching those of us "townies". Looking forward to these sessions. Linda and Earl Ault, Cedar Mountain Winery, Livermore CA
We love going along with you through this learning/research process, Nick. It's very inspiring for anyone who loves science or learning in general.
Thanks, Nick! You'll figure out the camera stuff in no time.

Going back over the past I realize what a journey it has been. Happy to have been there from the start.
Hey big guy! Great to see you again, on the live shows, even though I couldn’t watch the first show live! Thanks man!🍻
OMG YOU ARE NOW LIVE!!!!!
Well Nick, great to have you back.
Working near Kamloops fascinated by some local geology here I tried looking up some research. I came across your Eocene X.
It was so good. Here I am at A.
Studied geology at the UOfCalgary. Looking forward to the whole series!
Catching up, glad to be with you, missed you and the Zentnerds. Happy New Year in 2 days! And it's snowing again in SJIs.
The A-Z series had the perfect level and tone, really appreciated the the balance of advanced ideas and topics with good simplification, and still reviewing easier topics to reinforce and solidify them.
Just quite a good start for a whole alphabet soup of fun and information
Oh thank you for saying you don't understand the report you were reading 🙂!

Welcome! Was in Hungary 1 time...middle of winter:-)
Love the lectures and opportunity to learn more about geology. I catch the replay when I stop driving in my truck
So many of my Northern California neighbors in the live chat! ..we need to have a Regional townie meetup someday!
Thanks Nick. You should mark the back of your story pole where you can see it.
THANK YOU ,I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO A NEW SEASON OF LEARNING.
Been interested in geology for decades. Know virtually nothing, and I don't speak "geological research." I've stuck around through Geology 101 and Geology 351 online because there's a nugget every once in a while that gives me some insight. I rarely remember terminology until I've heard it about 100 times, but I taught political and cultural history for decades in a public high school, and, having retired from that, I'm interested in earth's history, as well, I remain hopeful.

I love how Nick call the higher ups "Well dressed" not "Suits". I guess that would not be very nice. Sorry not trying to be rude. I think that the whole program is absolutely top notch with much respect to Mr.Nick and viewers alike.
Ahhh the Pacific North West one heck of a tectonic car wreck, lots of fluids and semi solids involved!
Learnt a lot. Keep the great work going.
No technical problems at all from here in southern New England, signal 5X5, superbly done! Thank you for another fascinating presentation!
Hi nick. Thoroughly enjoyed today's and looking forward to the next. Bring it on.
We miss the Cozy Fort with Larry the Ladder!!
Nick: I like things just right.
Geology: we like to mix things!
🤨
Been here and really enjoyed every one of them. Enjoyed A to Z.
Thanks Nick looking forward to B,C,D and so on.
any info on the green layer? seen it in CO and TX and of course Moab
Love you Nick. So happy that you are doing this
I look forward to seeing this a to z lecture series.
Totally 'here' and 5x5 and I busted up when you said "coffee cart". T'would be nice to Pin that Eocene updated time chart to the side of your Blackboard. Thanks to you I now know that half of Washington is leftover orphaned earth-mass that the Southers kicked up towards the North! And tectonics. You need a small brass sign in the corner that says "I'm bringing the pretty rocks tomorrow..."
Thanks Nick ! Cool and really nice to start this « crazy Eocene » ! Enjoyed a lot this livestream watched live 🥰❣️🥂
Great introduction. Really sorry I couldn't catch it live.
Hi Nick, thanks so much what you are doing. I'm living here in the Rockies, but left Washington 40 years back, leaving my footprints all over those Eastern Cascades, especially the Icicle. Please feel free to keep it up, we really enjoy your shows and I'm loving to be learning again about my favorite subject, Geology. I'm older now and the body is shot, so I'm learning at a distance from my home in Montana, near the Crazy Mountains and Absarokees. I spent my life in these mountains and yours, thanks again.
Cooper Mountain in WA? Cool, I was first there when I was 3 or 4. Went back many times. Favorite family winter spot.
Does basalt take up more space than magma when it has become cool?
KEEPUP THE HARD WORK!
WATCHED THE REPLAY LOOKING FORWARD TO THESE SESSIONS!
Thanks Nick
Had to work today and missed this live. No scrubbing ahead for me as I enjoy the prelude to the lecture as much as the lecture itself. Again, a great way to unwind from the work day.
( adding to my comment as I have watched a bit of the video )
In my opinion, and I’m confident that I am not alone, I feel that the decision to ask you to be the ‘public voice’ of this North Cascades Research team is perfect as you have the dynamic ability ; in the same way that Neil DeGrasse Tyson communicates Astrophysics to the general public, to disseminate the geological understanding and discoveries that we all look forward to learning about when the scientific paper(s) are written.
Along with the familiarity with expressing these concepts in a live: EWU Public Lecture Series and this ‘virtual’ setting here on UA-cam, environment to us the average person, you have grown a community of followers/students of geology that would benefit all of us in one way or another from your addition to the team. Congratulations ! ( I think ….. hahaha )
We all are excited about this experience and look forward, with eager anticipation, to adding to the understanding of our world in the Pacific Northwest and as that translates into the southern part of ,where I grew up , British Columbia.
Don t know anything...don t understand the study of Sir. Micael...but i know in the end of A to Z i will know more✌️🤗
Watched this series opener with "E" coming up in two days! Yikes! Nick I'm happy to see you using a wet eraser on the chalk board. I worry about all that chalk!
“Mom’s & dad’s or Mom’s & mom’s, or whatever!” Haha
Thanks Nick I look forward to the series
Where is the Eocene!?
Left around the corner!
I like it when you get cranked-up. :)
A national parks geology series would be interesting.
I took a National Parks geology class at the University of Utah a dozen years ago. I would love to see this topic presented with Nick’s signature touch. 😊
Thanks Nick, I’m REALLY learning how to read terrain…
If you can't admit you don't understand something, you'll never really learn it. The best habit I developed in the last few years is to stop bluffing and overstating my knowledge of whatever someone's asking me about. I wasn't really super-big on it, but letting it go completely and just saying 'I don't know' is so freeing.

But that is how it is. Best of luck Nick!
I have seen every one of these starting with the Down Town lectures with oversaturated video, and I understand most of them.
A weakening of the crust will result in loss of pie filling, Ned.
iive bin fallowing you for yes a little more than tow years .
Man...when you get the technical stuff straight, it’s going to be...better!🤣. Thanks Nick!
When I was in collage 50 years ago there were no plates moving around.
IS THE "EXTENSION " THE SAME AS THE EXTENSION AND RANGE AREA ?
Milenite? Got some, found at road cut between Lyons and Loveland, Colorado.
Another smart decision to stay away from oceanic plate speculation.
My speculation for the Great Pacific Plate shift in the Eocene, is that it was initiated by the accretion of the Yakutat/Siletz Plateau as an obstruction, and naturally corrected its motive direction by reactive motion adjustment seeking the path of least resistance.
Great start to a new series. I like the hunger for new learning based on incomplete answers of the past. How did the Rockies form? The chalkboard ballet is just a bonus.
Chalkboard Ballet is a great band name. 🤔😆
New camera has good color distribution 👍
I might catch some and interact myself. I don't know so much about the North Cascades.
Red chalk was very difficult to see
When you walked to the back of the room the volume dipped low like the BT mic was not on 1:07:50
It was more difficult to hear with your back to camera, possibly because the BT mic was off?
Really like that there is plenty of room for multiple chalk boards!
It seems like it is the application melon that is the issue with cameras, not you.
Possible you can physically label the cameras to help keep them strait?
Cant wait until Wednesday, thank you!
Watching later on Sunday
Rocky I, RockyII 😊
@1:07:47 your shirt mic is off... new app user error?
Nick: if you are watching the recorded version, skip ahead 10 minutes
The rest of the world:
The extension sounds like impact reflection (?). Exotic terrane bounce-back? Even under compression a material will have reflective waves back through an impacting material. I am thinking of a vehicle impact. Relative to an impacting vehicle, during the collision, parts will be moving backwards (reflecting) while the back of the vehicle is still moving into the collision. Collisions are complicated. Timing is important! Maybe an earlier terrane acted as a crumple zone? (stuck in the vehicle analogy).
The top part of your head is cut off when you switch to the 2nd (Mellon camera.) I could see you with both camera views. The green board looks a bit sharper with the new camera.
I recently saw a map from another class that has our Old North American boundary more over at the edge of the Rocky Mountains and not near Boise?
Could the earth be getting bigger as it cools and that's why the crust is extending?
You said thirty years. I left University of Northern Colorado at Greeley 1993, so real close to thirty years. Top of the high peaks of the Rockies are flat- Eocene erosional surfaces...the top of the Rockies.
Eocene of Australia is interesting.
What are you doing wrong? It seems that the camera lens needs to be adjusted to finer focus. That is it.
