Nick is probably the most inspired and passionate Rock guy. Spent several years with my cousin here in Texas, and she is still an Environmental Geologist. She moved to Portland, Ore., earlier this year which was something she's been wanting to do since forever. Cascades are like a Geological Wonderland there She's in Rock Heaven up there

I am feeling extremely overwhelmed. I want to spend a month talking to this professor. I somehow had his lecture just auto start and I actually watched the whole thing. Wow am I a rock nerd. I am a Michigander and have an obsession with Michigan rocks and minerals. I am no geologist, only a true rock hound who loves the why to every rock I see. Early this month we traveled to the very small mountain range in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Some of the rocks that are regular in this region, looked very similar to the rocks that he had shown. I have so many questions!? How could this be so. I have always been curious to how some of our rocks being very porous and we have a black rock that is full of so many fossilized organisms ( like plants and shells) it looked like one he held up during one picture. I only have small pieces and they are rolled smooth by the lakes, unless you like to look elsewhere. We also have granite, basalt, diorite, quartz, shale, sandstone, mudstone, and so many more!! I guess I should just find a Michigan Professor that has the same passion for local geology as this guy does for Washington geology. 😄

Pennsylvania has some strange and fascinating geological and geologically-adjacent (to borrow the parlance of SoCal real-estate agents where many parts of town are "Beverly Hills-adjacent" despite their generous distance from those hills) stories in its own right. From the glacial influence and extended plateaus to ringing rocks and megaliths plopped down right in the middle of the woods to the cautionary tale of Centralia, geological oddities and mysteries figure prominently in that state. Regardless, I second Mr. Buglass' appreciation for the lectures. Truly fascinating stuff coming from a natural-born teacher. As we're apparently "ahead" of the Northwest, geologically speaking, I only wish we had an analogue to Mr. Zenter down here in SoCal.

Absolutely fantastic lecture, Even though you think you know everything there is always something new to learn! It is practically endless which is why Paul has been at it for 50 years and is still making new maps, overall there is so much more of the story yet to be discovered like the recent proposed discovery that the lava chambers of Rainer, Hood and St Helens are all linked underground. If you live in Seattle like I do, get out there an explore. It is also good to note for people watching that while the subduction zone volcanos in central and southern California are long gone other volcanic systems remain very active such as the massive Long Valley volcanic field / Supervolcano, Mammoth Mountain which has actively gassing vents as well as the very very active Salton Buttes with its amazing mud volcanos and off gassing spatter cones, the western USA has volcanic activity everywhere you look. I think it is by pure chance that we are in such a quiet time in the history of the west so get out there and enjoy it as it is today.

It seems to me, that the only truly 'extinct' volcano is a ghost volcano. All others merely await the right conditions to become active again. Like Mt. St. Helen's, and Fuego down in So. America, and I think Japan has a couple that just woke up again.l, and let's not leave out Mayotte, which birthed a new volcano underwater that sent a signature around the world in 2019. Volcanology...fascinating.

OK people, this is a date sensitive joke, it was 2018 and the big trend in the entertainment media was still zombies... just... dont take it seriously... you will hurt your brain trying to find something rational in things that are utterly lacking in any rationality.

I honeymooned on Rainier and Yakima in 1973. I love it then and I understand it better thanks to this lecture. Thank you

Back in 1986 I hiked over the North Cascades from the Suiattle River drainage, over Suiattle and Rainy Pass down through Lyman Lake and Hart Lake. When we got down to the Lyman Glacier we found huge granite boulders about 20 feet tall. We spent a few hours climbing up on one with harnesses and rope. Now I know why and how this bolder got there. Thanks Nick!

I would love to see you do learn more about, and do lectures on the south Cascades region between St. Helens and Adams, and talk about all the cinder cones, spatter cones, and shield volcanoes in the area. I am especially interested in the small cones and vents in the Indian Heaven volcanic field and the Mt Adams flank vents.

I graduated from CWU in '97 but with a non-geology degree. Nick makes me wish I would have been a geologist so I could have sat in his classes. I no longer live in WA state but I sure do love the Yakima-Ellensburg area.

I'm from the UK, where volcanoes are a bit thin on the ground, and I found this fascinating, even though I'm never likely to go and see it for myself. So clearly explained that even a total newbie could understand at least the basics of it.

I'd like recommend the software program RX8 by iZotope. its an audio restoration program for movies, dialogue, and music. you can clean up dialogue by taking backround noises out, and electrical hums and such.

17:47 "No way to rebuild itself, the putty is gone..." No putty loves me. Oh, here's a postulation, for why aren't there Old Lahars? Perhaps, because it's just mud, and that erodes easy?

I like the chalk-boards instead of the dry-erase boards. You can see them better. Why did people stop using chalk-boards?
@justinokraski37965 жыл бұрын
because you have to wash them afterwards, otherwise the whole thing is vaguely cloudy white and the writing becomes unclear. When I was in college, there were some chalkboards where erasing just made it worse
@jcortese33005 жыл бұрын
Dust. Bad for computers. Nevertheless, I agree with you -- I HATE WHITEBOARDS. Chalkboards are far better.

Where is all the removed material from the ghost volcanos. The columns only seem to have a small falling away at the base of the cliffs. So many questions. Where are the source craters? I only saw ridges. The only tie appeared to be the rock type.

Only briefly passed through some of these areas when a 18 wheeler truck trainee. Loved the Cascades, which greatly humble the Appalachians in size, & beauty... swore to get back... but looks like I never will... so these lectures are a Godsend for me ! I've gained more knowledge in a few hours, than years of briefly looking into it... "Ghost Volcanoes"... I NEVER thought of such a thing, or that it could/ did/ is happening !
