Ghost Forests-Evidence for a Giant Earthquake & Tsunami in the Pacific Northwest

[@seanchinn2626]

That's Nick, all right. Looking forward to a time when the public can attend his lectures again. The livestreams have been one of the few good things to come out of 2020.

That’s Nick! I can’t believe a large media network has not scooped him up with such a natural relatable rapport (That’s French) with the audience.

Ah, the soothing voice of whom I like to call “little Attenborough”. :P

I dunno, might be his alter ego - Ned Zinger!

Thank you Nick! Grateful for all that went into this excellent presentation of this event and so pleased to see the contribution and recognition of indigenous peoples and others.

Professor Zentner is everywhere! I love it.

You gotta love it!

On The Rocks With Nick 👍 Great teacher.

[@Wedge53]

Great collaboration, I look forward to more content. Now that I think about it Ned had recommended IRIS Earthquake Science. I guess that makes me a new subscriber.

Their earthquake app is free & awesome. Been using it since 2009.

Surprised to find Nick not just sticking to Central Washington media channel.

Great narration Nick Z!!

[@cratekane]

Incredible lecture and visual materials. Thanks

[@edwardlulofs444]

Great video. It was worth watching even if only for the timeline of the quakes as that was the only data new to me. When are we going to have enough data for a statistical analysis to determine the kind of probability distribution? Many ignorant people just assume a Gaussian distribution and calculate an average. "Average" is a gross over simplification. Then people say "the earthquake is overdue." Earthquakes are never overdue. They happen when they happen. An event is only overdue when there's a prediction and the event didn't happen on time. Maybe I am the only person bothered by this commonly spoken falsity. Science is not advanced by tolerating ignorance.

Hopefully this new administration will fund this area of scientific again. All research areas in our government were gutted starting in 2017 by the last administration.

[@NatickJill]

I'd recognize that voice anywhere. Love Nick's KZbin channel.

[@shirley9240]

Excellent video. Fascinating!

[@zazouisa_runaway4371]

Thanks 😊

[@B30pt87]

I haven't found evidence of how far south the tsunami went (yet!), but I'd like to because my house is just below Mendocino point - the lower end of the Juan de Fuca plate.

[@sherimatukonis6016]

Guess what? Cascadia HAS triggered the San Andreas about? 50% of the time .. (don't quote me on that... My memory is crap)

Netflix Earthstorm interviews Japan scientists about the great tsunami in 1700.

[@walterward8164]

With the seemingly large number of tremors recently and the lack of reported (?) Earthquakes. Coupled with a rising magma under all or volcanoes currently. Would this be a indication of potential probability? Good morning.

[@Tinh1000000]

One of the key biases that drives misinformation is the illusory correlation phenomenon. Just because of weak seismic activity does not necessitate that it will be the lead to a major earthquake happening in the near future. Moreover, the hazard of a major megathrust earthquake has always been present-you should always be prepared for one no matter the circumstances. Conspiracy theorists will capitalize on the phenomenon of illusory correlation-as a result, they have managed to strain actual formal scientific research and outreach. Please remember to keep cognitive biases in mind when gathering information to avoid misinformation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_correlation

[@WoddyPecker]

The number of Tremor slip events seem to have gone down according to PNSN. They are still working on understanding how these quakes effect megathrust quakes. An increased number of earthquakes does not need to mean a large quake is imminent, but swarms can make it slightly more likely. However to my information nothing like that has happened recently. Also I have not read about magma rising to shallow chambers under cascade volcanoes. Magma is continuously built in greater depths beneath the subducted oceanic plate, but I would not know that it correlates with increased risk for a megathrust quake.
