Ghost Forests | Nick on the Rocks

[@THE______TRUTH]

You know he's a real geologist because he didnt even hesitate to get caked with mud for a 3 minute shot lol

[@sherimatukonis6016]

Lol... You don't do PNW without mud...

[@Deszigames]

Nick is a legend, the man hiked Aasgard Pass, one of the most strenuous hikes in the state for his 60th birthday

[@mikel917]

Dude needs to have a show on National Geographic channel. Would sure beat drugs this and prison that.

[@ThePitbulllady1]

I can't agree more! Nick needs to either have his own show on a big cable network like Science or Nat Geo, or to be one of the commentators that regularly appear on their shows. I can't think of anyone who has done so much to bring Geology to the masses and make it interesting even for people with no scientific background than Nick.

[@mikel917]

@@ThePitbulllady1 Yeah, all these shows about buried treasure that they never find...haha. Geology IS the treasure.

[@briane173]

@@ThePitbulllady1 Well here we are three years on, and Nick won the Geological Society of America Public Service Award precisely because of all he's done to bring geology to the public consciousness and recruit students to the Geology program at CWU. He continues to do it and he continues to excel at it. He's built a KZbin community of literally thousands of engaged people of all backgrounds to learn right along with him as he tackles some of the most vexing geological questions yet to be answered about the Pacific Northwest. His overhead for his KZbin videos is zilch compared to the $millions it would cost for a TV production, especially on a semi-regular interval. He still teaches as CWU and so a program of that type would erase that, and that's not what he's in it for. So don't expect him on a TV network anytime soon.

There are extensive areas of similar drowned forests around Anchorage, Ak. There are also uplifted boulder beaches such as Point Helen in Prince William Sound. I attributed all of this to movement during the 1964 earthquake.

This would have made a great episode of "Dirty Jobs"!

[@lindadority1056]

Love love love that you have your own show you deserve it but it's too short

[@Queenfloofles]

I totally agree, I always wish they were longer. Keep up the fantastic work Nick!

This was a cool video!

[@360Angling-Outdoors]

you claim to know what time of day it happened

[@blueboats7530]

Not just the Native Americans. Japan has a record of the tsunami arriving on that date yet without any earthquake felt there, that's one reason the exact date is known. All the way across the Pacific ocean, strong enough to be logged in the permanent public record there, think about that (yikes...)

3:33 listen carefully

[@gregs6403]

How are the trees still standing after so long? Lack of rain? Lack of fungus to break them down? Preserved by some process?

[@rockwithyou2006]

i wish this video was 30 mins

[@standunitedorfall1863]

At least, lol.

[@rockwithyou2006]

@@standunitedorfall1863 I know right ?

[@nightwaves3203]

Better train lifeguards way inland :)

[@ddyeo503]

Why aren't these dead trees way up above sea level if the next quake is just around the corner? You think they would drop again below sea level if the next quake comes. But they seem to still be under sea level. At one time before the last quake they were way above sea level. Gives you something to consider if soon we will have another quake in the near future.

[@Koyle69]

You fool I live right across from it

[@4672-m9f]

going to la push beach,you can see a huge diameter tree, snapped off about twenty five feet up

[@patriciafischer1713]

please increase the volume. I can barely hear it. thank you 7 30 2021 7:25pm.

[@standunitedorfall1863]

That is what your volume control is for. Or get into your settings, and increase it from there. The error is on your side, not his.

If it died the next summer, I suspect it died of drowning rather than toxified by salt mash soils, someone would have to plant a seeding into mash elevations to see if it struggles or instantly dies.
