Ayla Pamukcu: Spirit Lake Pluton

[@BP_in_OR]

I am a simple man, when I get a notification that has the word "Pluton" anywhere in it I sit down and listen.

[@hughdanaher2758]

I’m more of an ophiolite guy. 😊

This is a great addition to this A-Z series. Ayla is so well-spoken and seems to naturally explain her thoughts in a way that a layperson can still understand. And Nick, your questions really guide your interviewees to the important and interesting information, and helps them to deliver it for your audience to consume. Thank you so much for this. Even though you are naturally good at this, we can all recognize and appreciate how much work you put into it.

This is the greatest amount of detail we have gotten to this point on the Spirit Lake project. Spidergrams, diffusion rates, stuff we've learned about, or at least been introduced to earlier, is now providing us with a foundation to appreciate these upcoming episodes and projects!

[@robmagee100]

Fantastic and fascinating discussion! It ignites in me a hunger to be involved in the hunt for answers that the science has for us to learn! Then I get a twinge of regret and resentment for my upbringing as a young earth creationist, and all those wasted years... But regret is only useful to inform our future choices, and without the circuitous path I took, I wouldn't be a trombonist, for which I arguably am much better suited than as a scientific researcher. I'm excited for the opportunities that today's students have to learn and contribute to our knowledge of our planet, and beyond!!!

[@raenbow66]

Im delighted to see a new post. It's great to hear about Ayla's diffusion chronology research! Exciting stuff. Cheers!

[@xwiick]

Thanks for all the hard work on these videos!

[@hughdanaher2758]

It’s amazing how many experts are willing to join your project. You’ve created a worldwide interest in geology and making professional connections that goes beyond your own keen.

[@JaniceMartin-fd8mr]

Ayla is so understandable - even to a 75 yr old with zero science or geology background except for Nick's YT teaching. I would love to hear more from her and from her student.

[@StewartSmith-g4f]

Thank you both! Informative discussion.

[@ronlarson6530]

Dang Nick! You're almost there to 100K 😊

[@CharlesWard-t8y]

Great to meet Ayla Pamukcu, and great to hear about the Searchlight pluton and the Highland Range volcanics, since I used to live in the area and have hiked on some of those rocks.

[@cyndikarp3368]

Spirit Lake Pluton research is going to be very interesting science. Thanks for bringing us up to date on project.

[@pmgn8444]

Thanks Ayla and Nick. Interesting as always.

[@ms_khoff]

She is impressive. This was great!

[@charlesflorian1758]

Thanks for another great presentation. II noticed it popped up on U-Tube last evening but was unable to watch. Got up early today to watch in “rerun”. She does a great job, very informative. Too dangerous cold here, 18 degree F. one to hear more of her work on Spirt Lake when the weather warms up. Go some interesting photographs of Spirt Lake when I was flying. Take Care.

[@sharonseal9150]

Looking forward to the new dream team project! Thanks for another great interview video Nick and Ayla,

[@jscottmaclean226]

Temperature-time paths in rings, VERY cool stuff! Thank you Ayla

[@KevinFournier-xd3ub]

Thank you Ayla and Nick, very cool. Also, I’m sure I have missed something, when is she and Mike coming up to talk?

[@Vickie-Bligh]

This is fascinating. Thanks, Nick.

[@EShelby2127]

Thank you! Excellent!

[@anaritamartinho1340]

To see how they get the data from the rocks should be a awesome thing...Thanks for all

[@RonSparks2112]

Great interview!

[@karihamalainen9622]

Good morning (here in Finland))

[@karihamalainen9622]

Growing like salt or sugar tower?

[@blawless01]

Excellent! That 26 minutes went by way too fast. Would love to hear more. Thanks, Ayla and Nick! 25.1 Ma Elevenmile Canyon caldera, Stillwater--Clan Alpine--Desatoya

[@paulproctor5555]

Thank you❤

[@hjumper8238]

Prime this endeavor, yay!

[@craighoover1495]

Thank you.

[@JackMorningstar001]

Good stuff!

[@auntieollie2298]

What kind, and where is the formation behind her?

[@geoffgeorges]

It looks like the Joshua Tree granite , or somewhere near there.

[@auntieollie2298]

@@geoffgeorges Thanks.👵

[@JMCote112]

@@geoffgeorges I always thought it was a sandstone until I looked it up. Monzogranite, guessing that "monzo" part has to do with it's color. That quartz sill in her photo is really cool too.

[@Bobsbedazzlingrocks]

Another awesome Nick Z . Class :). gneiss teacher Ayla. Pretty as a Crystal :)

[@brucebourassa5529]

If that wall paper is not from Joshua Tree, where is it.,? Is Ayla a climber?

[@jackswisher3171]

Would like to have the team look at 4.5 MA Wart Peak caldera and eruption deposits in north Lake County, Oregon.

[@KozmykJ]

Six minutes in and I have learned what a SHRIMP Detector is ... 👍

[@jeffbybee5207]

Nick you asked last week about the color code system. First all you are a great teacher and we love your uniqueness. But when you make up different names than standard especially a set of names for a short term of study its like learning another language to learn what your teaching sure i know the german choclet cake is the columbia river basalts but is the whale going up the coast siletiza or something else. I know the numbers can get repeditive but then again hearing a layer is 36 my old helps drive the info into my head insteed of trying to remember green means in the 30s but wait is dark green early or late 30s? The more exact the words the better info is communicated. I tell people dont use pro nowns use names if i say my girl ran off after cattle i really havnt told you if it was coco the mom or daughters 33 or woody. Just advice from a guy a year oldrr than you and starting to get senile. Ps i finally got the fireworks but ryolitic or basaltic volcanocs convey more info
