Nick is a national treasure. He's been doing free lectures many times a week since we all got locked down by the government for the pandemic. He does it live and interacts with his "students", answering all their questions. It's pretty amazing that someone like Nick would give his time so freely to us
@@ronaldpoe3305 How would that work? He's paid by the university and takes no money for any of his lectures, etc. His videos aren't monetized. He won't even let his fans set up a gofundme to show their appreciation, saying he makes enough money from his job.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Nick. At 73, and having taken geology before plate tectonics was taught, I’m learning so much from your segments. Thanks OPB for bringing Nick into our Pacific NW homes.
"Time to evacuate," he said. Hopefully, yes. One thing we learned from Mount St. Helens was "the calm before the storm." It burped and belched for a few weeks, then seemed to stop. But semi-hardened lava was still being forced up, until the pressure finally burst. That's what happened at Krakatoa, and I think that one also had a lateral eruption, similar to Mount St. Helens, that caused the tsunami.
I think these volcanologists should be trained in how to fly jetpacks or one-person escape drones, and keep those in their research budgets during on-site or field days, near active volcanoes. It would be cool to have a future radio callout from scientists as they escape the blast zones on Jetpacks while screaming, Vancouver! Vancouver! This Is It... and live to talk about it.
Twelve years after the explosion of Mt. Saint Helens, I was on a business trip that took me down the West Coast with aside trip to Mount Saint Helens. Being from Ohio I was awe struck by the dimensions of the West and amazed at the concept of time that these geological phenomenon encompass.
Very well done Nick. Like to hear you upbeat and happy as opposed to yelling at muffler boy. I hate muffler boy too. Thanks again from a guy old as gneiss.
No, Nick, this can't be right... It CAN'T have been FORTY years ago! I was twenty that summer, so that would mean I'm 60 in a few days. And that just can't be so. I may remember president Johnson handing the crown over to the Trickster Nixon, but I refuse to be 60. Nice mountain ya got there, the telephoto shots of the city at the hem of Rainiers beautiful white dress... are breathtaking. Even though I've been there and KNOW the mtn is 30km away!!
Why would the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens "take many by surprise"? People here in the NW knew it was coming, just didn't know exactly when. Nice video.
The eruption that happened was quite unexpected in its nature - everyone had expected lava to shoot straight up out of the ground and fall onto the surrounding environment, but in reality, the entire side of the mountain slid off and fell sideways.
@@0xEmmy Geologists monitored the bugling north side of the mountain for weeks leading up to the blast, everyday there was an update. No one foresaw the amount of the slide, but it wasn't a mystery when it happened.
@@judasjah7390 If you didn't live in the NW, then your local news probably didn't cover it much until it blew, or you didn't keep up with it's development.
thank you Nick, I have learned more about the American Northwest from your lectures on the rivers as well as Randall Carlson's explanations about the post Ice Age drainage, which I believe complement the drainage dynamic of the area. This type of research on the post Ice Age development of the national rivers in Australia still awaits my eager interest. Your insights and explanations are wonderful and warrant your nation's academic honors
I'm wondering if Americans are aware of the recent fatal eruption of Whakaari/White Island volcano in New Zealand? Jaw-dropping visuals here: www.abc.net.au/news/2019-12-12/new-zealand-white-island-volcano-eruption-how-it-unfolded/11789586?nw=0
"Local conditions" all it. The south side of the volcano is still intact which keeps winter snow protected from the sun. This snow is further protected by some ash deposits when the volcano was mildly active in ~2004-06. Debris from the crater walls covers this snow. These act as insulators. Eventually the snow compacts itself to make ice. Hence the new growing glacier.
I hope you finally given up the billions and millions and zillions of years BS and are starting to realize that catastrophic processes is what we see everyday
We really do live in a geologic wonderland. Another excellent video Nick.

I bet hes making quite a killing also.

This gentleman is obviously very passionate about his chosen profession. Thanks for sharing.
It has been 41 years since the blast.I am glad to see these new pictures. I was there.
So was I, I fished Spirit Lake years before the eruption. I was living south of Portland when it blew up in 1980.

He's back, Thanks Nick.
Great job on this, Nick!
Nick is the best!
Thanks for doing these videos.
Nick, I just love all of the content you give us. I watch everything you put out and I still watch you at home. Oh I love you too.

Thanks Nick, enjoy your videos!
Nick Zentner is the best! I love learning from him.
Gorgeous footage of the volcano. It must be both thrilling and scary to be one of the USGS staff up there working on those instruments.
I still remember visiting there in 1981. A year after it blew up! Wow!
Ciao! to Nick and the other "Zentnerds" stopping by to watch this.
🕶
Love your videos Nick! You've helped me learn so much.
Nick is doing live youtubes 5 days a week.. search him out..
Thanx again professor ♥️
Nick Zentner's geology lectures are right on par with Jordan Peterson's psychology lectures. Absolutely top notch.
I’m a huge fan! Love your videos.
love these videos, keep it up!
I like this program Nick, better the. The university ones….excellent speech quality

So you must also know that 30 km is not far enough...
Whoa ... gotta love a science that names their stations after Mexican food ... Thanks Dr. Z ... you are loved ...

It happened because the grateful dead were playing "fire on the mountain"

Amazing how the earth recovers.
@Bubba: Recovers faster than scientists want to admit, extremely faster.
Nick in the fire. Careful old boy. Watch your step.

👍👍👍
Why tell stakeholders before the public?
I thought global warming was melting all of the glaciers? How could this glacier be building itself in the middle of a volcano?
"Local conditions" all it. The south side of the volcano is still intact which keeps winter snow protected from the sun. This snow is further protected by some ash deposits when the volcano was mildly active in ~2004-06. Debris from the crater walls covers this snow. These act as insulators. Eventually the snow compacts itself to make ice. Hence the new growing glacier.
2000 yrs before her80 eruption wow
New glacier wait a minute lol.
Collecteen is not a word
