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.

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. 😄

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.

Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and you will be saved. John 3:16 (share the good news of the gospel around the world!) Have a wonderful day/night, may the LORD bless you all, and farewell!,.,,,,,,.,,.,.

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 have watched most of your lectures and find you most informative and entertaining - you are the best Nick please keep it up !! - I live here in Melbourne Victoria Australia and go hiking in the state we also have dormant volcanoes here but only on a small scale - you should try and get over here one day !! - PS I notice most of your audience are " mature ".

Most of today's youth are taking "Social" classes instead of "Science" classes. I went to college in the 60's and 70's. By the time I had to leave (military requirements) I had the classes to receive one B.S. but only the hard science for the 2nd B.S. I was so looking forward for that double major, but I lacked the elective "Social" classes for that 2nd B.S. Maybe that is why I'm not up to speed in the social life of today.

i have had these videos on all afternoon, they are actually quite interesting, even to a non-geologist like Myself. WE NEED MORE OF THIS on youtube

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'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.

It's professor's like Nick that made me happy to go to college. So much better than the teachers I had K-12.

I was wondering (from the beginning of the video) if this would discuss the Palisades viewpoint. And right there at 24 minutes...Whoop-There it is! That is one of my favorites and it's not marked except for a little "scenic viewpoint" sign. Great video!

Thank you for uploading this series of lectures. I know a lot more now about the geology of North West Washington then of my home continent of Europe ;) your lecturing style is very pleasant . A series of geology 101 would be very much appreciated. Thanks again from the Netherlands.
