Also, there's the Eifel volcanic region that's not too far away, and all the subduction zones around Italy and thrust faults in Greece. Sounds like a brilliant excuse for a weekend away :)
It has been wonderful, extremely interesting and just awesome following all your lectures! Actually, during these weeks of the summer vacation it is my second time when I re-watch all of them, taking notes and checking my own small rocks collection :) Geology has been a lifelong passion, despite myself being a medical doctor and I enjoy very much your most informative and fun lessons.

Fascinated by geology, I quickly realized the approach to the study of geology today is quite a bit more dynamic than it was in the Precambrian age when I took the 101 level class as an undergrad.

There is in fact a fifth 'sphere'. The 'Cryosphere' - All the planet's 'icy places'. Which arguably would be regarded as a sub-division of the hydrosphere, but nevertheless should be regarded as significant enough, in terms of the holistic view of 'earth science' to be included as one of the physical characteristic 'spheres'. Good lecture, looking forward to the series. Subscribed and thumbs up. :-)
In my lectures, I treat the cryosphere as a hybrid between the hydrosphere and the geosphere. You're right though, others might separate it out as it's own "sphere."
@@EarthandSpaceSciencesX You want to hear a happy geology-related story? In my freshman year of college, waaaay back in the fall of 1993, I had to sign up for a science class but had absolutely zero interest in science. I ended up choosing the one class that fit best into my schedule - Geology. Turns out, that was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. I had this teacher... oh my goodness. To say he was eccentric was an understatement! He was completely wacko! BUT, he was passionate - completely in love with his chosen field of study. And that passion was infectious. Like it or not, I ended up never missing a single day of class. There were still a lot of things I didn't understand, so I only got a B in the class, but I didn't care. It was the best class I had ever taken. I loved it (and my professor!) so much, I ended up taking it AGAIN! There was no need to, of course, but for the first time in my life, I _wanted_ to take a science class. I've been in love with science ever since. Astronomy, marine biology, microbiology... and the list goes on. Some of my favorite realms of amateur scientific study are the deep sea habitats I get to see while watching livestreaming ROV dives. And, while deep sea fish are my primary interest, I find myself constantly distracted by the sheer beauty of deep sea geology. The steep canyon walls, the random boulder deposits (likely glacier-related), the eerily eroded sedimentary rock layers, I could go on and on. Another area of interest for me are people who explore abandoned mines. To see gargantuan slabs of rocks, intruding upon each other, to see literal faults sliced clean before your eyes, the sparkly minerals, the veins of ore that spread like spiderwebs... it's all so beautiful to me. Problem is this... I don't remember enough from that class I took (twice!) so long ago. I have many questions and a desire to learn. So, when I stumbled upon your channel today, it felt like I had hit the jackpot! I cannot attend school in any traditional manner right now, so your classes look to be the next best thing. I've already watched all of your virtual field trips. 👍 So, my great Geology story is that a class I had to take, because it was the only one that fit my schedule, with a wacky professor, sparked an almost 30-year love of science in me that grows stronger every day. How's THAT for a good story? 😁 PS - I am also from Southern California. 👍
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Bravo! I envy your students. Your method of teaching is a delight. I took a course in Geology in college. The grad student teaching spent the first class presenting different rocks with unusual names which caused me to droop the class. How I wish I had a professor with your talent. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Some people are spending their quarantine/social distancing time learning to knit or speak spanish... I already speak spanish and knit, geology lectures it is! xD
im quite young but this has really helped me i have always loved geology and had a fascination of rocks i love your lectures and i really want to become a geologist
This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing with us. I've found it very hard to learn about geology because there are so many words, terms, and phrases I wasn't familiar with. Looking up a sentence of words I didn't understand lead to more sentences with words I didn't understand. So I needed a calm clear understanding of the basics and this series is giving me that so it's most welcome.
@@ashleybailey1785 This sounds like a good start for your learning interest on geology. Gradually, you will like more info. on this subject to the point of an unexpected appreciation for our planet Earth. 🕊️🌎✌️
Stefania Ponitz -- I used to work in the Oilfield as a Driller (Drilling Rig Operator). I have worked with several Petroleum Geologists. For the Reasons you have described (terminology, etc.), I "assume" is the reason why Geologists are often unofficially called "Rock Doctors." LOL
I think its worth noting that we shouldnt confuse the apparent beginning of the observable universe with the beginning of the universe. They're two different things.
I realize this is old, but....I don't see the distinction, the beginning was the beginning. Expansion precludes us ever observing most of it, radio waves from the non-observable part can never reach us. So why are they different things, other than that from our vantage point?
Thank you! I am ka keiki o Maanoa, so even better you are from home! In California my head started spinning because lands were so different. Japan not so much; more like home. I want to go to Australia and Africa where everyone says so many things are really, really different. "Lands like you have never seen," said many.
Beautiful lesson I study geology by myself from home as many other things. Few months ago i sat under a rock, under its shade actually because it was a very hot day and i thought, for how long this big piece of rock has been sitting here, as well as why here? and how it ended up exactly here? how can i find out? So, yea we have google today and what now your videos would be my starting point I would follow thru the course, thank you for the work!
The science is very big... The earth and sky were created not by an explosion, but by separation by water... Then the stars, planets and the sun were created by an explosion... Then the sun was in the shape of a spiral.
Sun temperature 5778 klv This result was found by scholars, but it is present in the Holy Qur’an The Noble Qur’an is the word of God and there is not a single error in it and it contains all the sciences
@@انصار_الله_والمهدي29 so 5778 Kelvin is in the Quran but Kelvin wasn't even alive until 1000 years after Islam became a thing? Quite a book you have there.
I don't see the name of the professor, other than Dave, and he said he had made these for his students at Hawaii Community College. Can we get his full name and where he works now? Great series, and thanks for making it available to the public!
I'm Professor Paul Day. I'm no longer at Hawaii as I have accepted a position at Dallas College in 2015. However, I have begun revising, improving, and expanding this series of lectures so that the public can learn for free what inspired me about geology.
@@EarthandSpaceSciencesX Damn... I was sooo close!! Well, sort of anyway. Class 1 down, several to go! By the way, from one teacher to another, I must compliment your teaching style. 👍
@@EarthandSpaceSciencesX Don't worry about hurrying! You have so much excellent content to get through. Was this a course you posted from a regular semester class?
What is your name? Where are you teaching now? I would love to see your missing lectures, those not included in the current UA-cam content. Thanks for the fine shows.
I took a 101 class many years ago. I really enjoying refresher with yours, because I am remembering old knowledge, so it's twice as valuable as the first time. What I really want to know is how to hire a geologist to tell me where to find gold.
Watching while eating something spicy to sharpen the wit. Thank you for posting this content. I am a Copper Dragon from D&D. The better I understand Geology, the better I understand what I can do with my magic. Who says the study of rocks is boring? Noobs. That's who.
Hello! I'm considering a major in geoscience and I feel like these videos have helped me to understand things a lot better. I do have some questions about a career in the field but I don't have anyone to ask lol. Do you take questions through email or can you (or anyone really lol) point me in the direction of a forum or discord where I could openly ask about geoscience? Any help is much appreciated! :) great videos and I hope to learn much more as I go!
I was told to have faith in the geologic record upon real radiometric dating results as a geology major. How many millions of years? We don't know what happened in 1500BC, but the preacher wants you to believe we know what happened millions of years ago. Explain iron age depopulation.
@@matta443 Sounds like you'd be happiest in divinity school. No hard questions or even contradictory claims as it all comes down to god's will/doing which, ironically, if free of any evidence whatsoever.
Professor, I LOVE your Geology classes. They are Very Good & Very Educational. For future projects, could you please tell us more about GeoChemistry & GeoPhysics? I LOVE Rocks & I LOVE Chemistry. I have LOVED Rocks since I was a small child playing in the Creek behind our house. THANK YOU for your Excellent Lectures.
I have a few questions... These lessons are for university/undergraduate level? And what book do you suggest for an undergraduate geology course covering an introduction to geology? Thanks!
Doesn't the Younger Dryas catastrophe lend some credibility to the possibility that there could be more to the timeline of human history than the conventional view of the various _Ages_ into modern civilization? How do we explain that the most challenging feats accomplished in the Bronze Age (one could do the same using mesoamerican megalithic sites as they could those in Egypt) came before more primitive productions that followed? It seems, at least plausible, if not likely that, for example, the massive boxes _sarcophagi_ at the Serapeum in Saqqara, were found and revered by those that later carved glyphs into them and those were not the same people who originally quarried them from hundreds of miles away, and then carved them with such precision that even today it boggles the mind. edit: --Wisdom is knowledge applied. Great lecture. tx
I am completely stuck between studying biology and geology. I love studying life and the environment and outdoor field work sounds interesting as well.
I had the same choice 45 years ago. I choose geology because I couldn't handle dissecting animals, no surprise I became a veggie 32 years ago and vegan 11 years ago. I was sold on geology with my first week long field trip to the glorious Flinders Ranges in South Australia.
Came across this looking for geology courses, when you said "here in Hawaii," my heart jumped, thinking of everyone there now suffering from the fire 💜💜
Thank you sir. I watched your lesson on deserts, subscribed, and then came here to start at the beginning. Personally very interested in martian geology (and other satellites), and trying to decipher between wind and water affected formations. Have you looked at mars on google maps?? ...so much fun.
Questions: If Geology was proven to have a major flaw, for example if something was overlooked right from the start like what a rock is or something ridiculous. That wouldn't happen of course so think of you hiked left instead of right, or escaping the damn cold weather, moving to alaska, or you finally get a girl to bed, oblivious to the fact she's your sister, angry that youre so drunk at her party. If Geology had made a mistake of equivalent magnitude 1) How important would it be to change? 2) Would you care and what should be done? 3) Whats more important as a scientist a) Studying Geology as taught or b) Studying the actual rocks, mountains etc?
I'm gonna be fairly honest, I myself am pretty young, 11 - 14 I've always been curious in studies of rocks, minerals, ect. It's really cool that you're teaching stuff like this, man! This is very helpful :)

By the way, from one teacher to another, I must compliment your teaching style. 👍
I appreciate that! I’m trying to get the next lecture finished but it’s a ton of work to get these things produced and up on UA-cam.
@@EarthandSpaceSciencesX Don't worry about hurrying! You have so much excellent content to get through.
Was this a course you posted from a regular semester class?
What is your name? Where are you teaching now? I would love to see your missing lectures, those not included in the current UA-cam content. Thanks for the fine shows.
I took a 101 class many years ago. I really enjoying refresher with yours, because I am remembering old knowledge, so it's twice as valuable as the first time. What I really want to know is how to hire a geologist to tell me where to find gold.
There are usually local prospecting clubs. Join one of them and you should meet people there who can train you.
Watching while eating something spicy to sharpen the wit.
Thank you for posting this content. I am a Copper Dragon from D&D. The better I understand Geology, the better I understand what I can do with my magic.
Who says the study of rocks is boring? Noobs. That's who.
Fantastic lectures! I find myself copying down tons of great information from your slides. Do they exist online?
Not for these lectures, though I am working on revising and improving them. When that happens, I may post a link to the notes. It’s a good idea.
@@EarthandSpaceSciencesX So happy to hear there is more on the way, I LOVE these.
Your brother gave you a shout out on Twitter. Gave you a follow. Topic sounds interesting especially after I retire.
That’s pretty cool that he did that!
You are very interesting! Thanks for your programs... 👍🍁
Hello! I'm considering a major in geoscience and I feel like these videos have helped me to understand things a lot better. I do have some questions about a career in the field but I don't have anyone to ask lol. Do you take questions through email or can you (or anyone really lol) point me in the direction of a forum or discord where I could openly ask about geoscience? Any help is much appreciated! :) great videos and I hope to learn much more as I go!
it's indoctrination
condemnation without investigation equals indoctrination
@@matta443 what exactly do you mean by it’s indoctrination?
I was told to have faith in the geologic record upon real radiometric dating results as a geology major.
How many millions of years?
We don't know what happened in 1500BC, but the preacher wants you to believe we know what happened millions of years ago.
Explain iron age depopulation.
@@matta443 Sounds like you'd be happiest in divinity school. No hard questions or even contradictory claims as it all comes down to god's will/doing which, ironically, if free of any evidence whatsoever.
Geology (from Ancient Greek γῆ (gê) 'earth', and λoγία (-logía) 'study of, discourse')[1][2]
Wow great video 😝 I loved your intro very interesting thank you for posting ☺️ God Bless ❤🕊🌻
Thank you for your encouraging words!
Hi. Is there a website too? What is the name of the excellent presenter?
Thanks for watching! I am Professor Paul Day and I don’t have a website as of this moment.
would love to know your thoughts on Randall Carlson
Played this is the background while I played sims so my mom could think I was in class 😅
Lol Covid isn't that bad after all
😭😭
Professor, I LOVE your Geology classes. They are Very Good & Very Educational. For future projects, could you please tell us more about GeoChemistry & GeoPhysics?
I LOVE Rocks & I LOVE Chemistry. I have LOVED Rocks since I was a small child playing in the Creek behind our house. THANK YOU for your Excellent Lectures.
Thank you Bruce! I love those topics also and indeed I would love to cover them in detail when I have the opportunity.
TERRIFIC CONTENT 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌿🌿🌿🙏🙏🙏
I have a few questions... These lessons are for university/undergraduate level?
And what book do you suggest for an undergraduate geology course covering an introduction to geology?
Thanks!
Doesn't the Younger Dryas catastrophe lend some credibility to the possibility that there could be more to the timeline of human history than the conventional view of the various _Ages_ into modern civilization? How do we explain that the most challenging feats accomplished in the Bronze Age (one could do the same using mesoamerican megalithic sites as they could those in Egypt) came before more primitive productions that followed? It seems, at least plausible, if not likely that, for example, the massive boxes _sarcophagi_ at the Serapeum in Saqqara, were found and revered by those that later carved glyphs into them and those were not the same people who originally quarried them from hundreds of miles away, and then carved them with such precision that even today it boggles the mind.
edit: --Wisdom is knowledge applied. Great lecture. tx
I am completely stuck between studying biology and geology. I love studying life and the environment and outdoor field work sounds interesting as well.
I had the same choice 45 years ago. I choose geology because I couldn't handle dissecting animals, no surprise I became a veggie 32 years ago and vegan 11 years ago. I was sold on geology with my first week long field trip to the glorious Flinders Ranges in South Australia.
Getting a number 9 bus to the centre of Manhattan or Moscow, which one should I not choose.
You are very interesting! Thanks for your programs 👍🍁
You are the best!
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing :) i hope to major in hydrology. Ill get a taste of geology next semester, my last semester of community college.
Came across this looking for geology courses, when you said "here in Hawaii," my heart jumped, thinking of everyone there now suffering from the fire 💜💜
The situation on Maui is heartbreaking.
Gold be diamond
Godlike. This is great.
Thank you sir. I watched your lesson on deserts, subscribed, and then came here to start at the beginning. Personally very interested in martian geology (and other satellites), and trying to decipher between wind and water affected formations. Have you looked at mars on google maps?? ...so much fun.
Thank you so much. This is just a great learning experience e
Excellent educational video
Sir, you rock! Pun intended. Thank you so much for sharing this info.
You rock right back!
great teaching, thank you
Speaking from the year 2021, you sir were ahead of your time.
If you're not a bot blink twice.
@@gvid90 *blinkblink*?
I had to be sure
it has been very helpful 👋❤
Hawaii? Must be gneiss to live there!
Andrew Boehmer huh
OUCH!
Yes, but in England around the Pubs the weather is Mild,and Bitter.
Bwahahahahahoyoyoy
Haha I remember the old geology joke from class, “Geologists make the bed - rock”!!”
thanks for the upload :) subscribed
Will this help me with my mining expedition?
I was looking for some video which encourage me to study geology and i found it, do u pls upload your slide?
Questions: If Geology was proven to have a major flaw, for example if something was overlooked right from the start like what a rock is or something ridiculous. That wouldn't happen of course so think of you hiked left instead of right, or escaping the damn cold weather, moving to alaska, or you finally get a girl to bed, oblivious to the fact she's your sister, angry that youre so drunk at her party. If Geology had made a mistake of equivalent magnitude 1) How important would it be to change? 2) Would you care and what should be done? 3) Whats more important as a scientist a) Studying Geology as taught or b) Studying the actual rocks, mountains etc?
Istimewa 👍👍👍2022
What's the name of that stone in the thumbnail
Will this help me with my gold mining venture?
Thank you for uploading!!
Great I appreciate it
Thank you from a 54 year old child who never stopped asking why?
