What a great livestream with Mike Eddy - loving getting the more global perspectives! Thanks Nick for all your work to bring us these great guests and new learning experiences, and a chance to connect with others who share similar passions for geology and learning. .
the depth of what is talked about here is fantastic, those moments in the stream you know you are going to rewatch these. Thank you Nick for being the glue that binds us all together
This was an awesome episode. It seems to me that Dr. Eddy is focused on what may be the most critical open question in geology: What is an accurate history of plate motion across the globe? The motion of those plates seems to drive a tremendous amount of the geological developments over the last 100+ million years. To hear Dr. Eddy speak so expertly and intelligently on his thoughts of global plate motion is a rare treat! Brilliant guy, to be sure. I also love how folks like Tikoff, Tepper, Eddy, Huston, and Sigloch can discuss their theories yet remain, respectful and collegial about the research of the others, even if that work may contradict their theory. We are seeing science at its best….at the uppermost levels! Thank you Nick for yet another phenomenal session of “The Worlds Largest Geology Class” (per Jeff Tepper).
DR. Mike is a Brilliant and reserved, What a Great guy and very Humble, My Kinda of Person. Sorry I was late to class, I was working with dirt, work comes first..
Nick! I have to say this Idaho “miniseries” is quickly becoming one of my favourite series of yours. I think it’s because it’s a culmination of many of your past A-Z series, Baja, Eocene, 101, 351, and everything Siletzia. I started this journey with you because I live in the heart of Accreted Terranes up in The Yukon. I love that you keep bringing back some of the same Geologists with their particular knowledge set. Mike is SOOOOO smart, articulate and able to communicate very challenging ideas to a wide audience. As do many of your guests. I think it’s your gift, cause you are so good at it, you find others who are good at it. Thanks for everything you do Nick Zentner!
Mike is amazing! I get a kick out of this social internet technology that brings all these experts out of their ivory towers and gives all this information the light of day!
As i often do, I accidentally clicked on this video when scrolling the youtube app. My annoyance turned to joy when i recognized the man on the screen. Always happy to see my friend Nick. Looking good, buddy!
I am thinking back to when I started watching your videos lectures and A-Z series ,I knew absolutely nothing , zilch about Geology .As a kid Washington was my favorite place to go I grew up in the Midwest in a little town called Schaumburg ILLINOIS The Cascades mountains are very special to me My parents drove through Ellensburg on the way to Montesano Washington I had been to many of the places in the videos you have shown I never knew anything about the Geology except , Washington volcanoes. It is extremely rewarding learning the Geology of all these places I have visited a long time ago. I fully intend to visit Washington in 2025 Thank you Nick it has been extremely rewarding for me personally learning about Geology and particularly Geology in the Pacific Northwest.
Oh, so Siletzia is like a pimple popping out as the result of transpression and transtenssion next to or on the triple junction fueled by the hot spot?! 😁✨💞❤️Fun!! Thank you, Mikke Eddy for connecting the dots and/or filling in between different interpretations of others as seems..., very exciting to listen to his brilliant mind! Thank you, Nick for the opportunity!!
This might be the finest discussion we've seen from you yet, Nick. Hell, this might be one of the finest interviews on any scientific subject I've ever watched.
The "little" house that Zentner built here on the InfernalNet continues to grow. A SALUTE to you and yours and all the fantastic guests you bring to us on these varied adventures in geology. I really can't thank you enough for all of it.
Wow.. Wow.. Wow. I've been catching up with your posts and seeing Karin Sigloch and Michael Eddy back to back has been wonderful. Knowing that Dr. Eddy is in nearby Purdue causes me to want to send some of the BSU geology students his way for grad school. Great stuff Nick. As always, you make me proud to have spent my life studying geology.
Major learning going on here, my horizons are opening wider. As they should. These local questions can't really be answered without invoking the larger picture. I see you thinking hard Nick....going to be great seeing what you think after digesting this. Thanks Mike Eddy for furthering the conversation.
One of the best talks Nick. Thanks. Subduction initiation is really really interesting. And we have I think a great analog of it happening now just to the NW of the great Sumatra Subduction zone.
Thanks for this! Feels like we get to be inside the scientific investigation. This series is really gathering steam now. Looking forward to every episode
It was a great pleasure to REvisit Crab Creek Marsh Unit #3, Palouse Falls, Frenchman Coulee and "The Feathers," Dry Falls, and Moses Coulee (this time from the north), and to add to those landmarks the house-sized bulk of Yeager Rock and the Withrow Moraine. If I live long enough, I may yet get to Vinman's Bakery.
Mike saying that Mt Pilchuck was one of his favorite near trench magmas made me think back to you teaching about the Challis magmas and Mt Pilchuck being noted as Challis, and I had been thinking the past couple of days that the WA Challis might be near trench magmas (one in the same). Am I way off thinking that the 60 MA 'slab break' is the same thing as the Kula 'break' 60 MA (the Kula break being the spreading ridge that creates / transitions into the Resurrection / Orcas plate) and that a portion of the resurrection / orcas might be the Idaho slab curtain that was subducted after the break(?) OR... They are breaks occurring at the same time, but in different places-right? ...perhaps associated? Wondering if the 60 MA Jeff Tepper slab break is subduction of the Kula/Resurrection & Farallon spreading ridge?... (Still thinking it was subducted at a steeper angle due to crustal depth since it seems it would have still been fairly fresh (ductile & buoyant). (?) Given there is some agreement that Siletzia / YHS was on the Resurrection & Farallon ridge, thinking to the visual from the recent stream with Jeff Tepper with the blue & green overlapping in N California (where the 'break' is in the slab & where Siletzia / YHS would have been) seems to indicate that the break & spreading ridge between the Resurrection & Farallon are the same thing there(?) 😵💫 Does that make sense & seem possible or likely? (I still think the Resurrection /orcas might explain the transport of the Carmacks even though the Carmacks are older than the Resurrection / orcas plate, ....if the Carmacks were on the portion of the Kula that became the Resurrection / orcas it might explain it... potentially. ) 😻💖💞❣
One of my granddaughters was excited to tell me the other day that her eighth grade science teacher had shown one of Nick's videos in class! (Seattle geology and the man-made alterations to it.) One more addition to Zentnerdia!
So, Nick, with 5,401 people in THIS “classroom session” is flabbergasted that Mike Eddy has “seven or eight hundred” in his 100 series Geo class? The “university” has really changed since I was in school 50 years ago! We have gone from thick, heavy, and expensive textbooks out of date as soon as they are published, to current research papers delivered in color, by clicking a download button, and a parade of guest lecturers that is beyond belief, taking questions from the class in real time. 🎉
It was a year or so ago but I seem to remember coming across the mention that at one time South America Antarctica and Australia were all connected that then Australia broke loose from the group and then Antarctica broke loose from S America. That would have been a lot of weight that suddenly wasn't being towed in one direction. which must have made a difference to continent movement What I remember was that this was happening in the same time frame as the global changes. 43 to 60 ish?
That's exactly right. You are in our students' hornets' nest. Nicks guests' fundamentally DISAGREE on what built the Rocky Mountains. I have advocated getting all you guys on screen and hash it out. The DATA has to drive the conclusions. We have been told the paldomag dataset is "robust and reproducible." Those of us who have watched Nick since the pandemic shutdown have learned that the hypotheses we have studied appear to be mutually exclusive. The first indication of this was when we learned of Churn Creek and Gang Ranch in Central BC. HELP! The postage stamp geologists insist that Canadian overthrust belt stratigraphy is "Nailed to the Continent." 🤷♀

Thanks for helping us learn advanced geology. It's a great gift to the future of education. Gifts like Google Earth & LiDAR, helping too.

What an active createceoous period! Thank you Nick! I learn so much and know so little!
Nick, that was such an informative time with Mike. Thanks so much!

Just brilliant
One of the best talks Nick. Thanks.
Subduction initiation is really really interesting. And we have I think a great analog of it happening now just to the NW of the great Sumatra Subduction zone.
Great livestream! Looking forward here to more!
Amazing! Talk about big picture. I will try to wait patiently for more!
Thanks for all the hard work on these videos!
Thanks for this! Feels like we get to be inside the scientific investigation. This series is really gathering steam now. Looking forward to every episode
Had to see again, great talk, always learning more... could be a Global study of tectonics with Mike, Karin, Steven, Jeff ✌️
I like the punctuated translation.
excellent
I’m bummed I missed the livestream-I’m out exploring Vancouver island and I now have cell service to watch the replay.
It was a great pleasure to REvisit Crab Creek Marsh Unit #3, Palouse Falls, Frenchman Coulee and "The Feathers," Dry Falls, and Moses Coulee (this time from the north), and to add to those landmarks the house-sized bulk of Yeager Rock and the Withrow Moraine.

Baja BC was on the Kula plate that subducted completely? Mt Stewart was on the Kula plate? Is that what I'm hearing what you guys are talking about?

Nick, have you or Mike considered if the Bugaboos in BC played a role here?
Nick, you need to figure out a way to have a graduate student. This person would study communications and could be your understudy.
😎
Hey Nick, that’s your next A-to-Z the world at 50 million years ago what happen globally?)
