Nick Zentner - Bretz and the Channeled Scablands: New Discoveries

[@RonLo]

Such an amazing presentation on the history of our past teachers. How they inspire us, passing down of knowledge, and the community work is just so mind blowing. I know you are inspiring your students everyday.

[@Shelbyj13]

Just when I thought I was out..... They pull me back in. Nick, listening to you talk about this will never get old.

[@brandiehuck3381]

I appreciate you,… I missed the live broadcast,.. but Dang!… this is the way we should all be learning,… this is the best way to learn,.. i just love all that you have done,.. and look at all those people who came together to build a better understanding and story!… That wouldn’t had happened if not for you!… You threw me a life line when i had to settle for just a AA,….covid/money/and raising kids,…paused my scholarly advancement,…but I still get to learn because of you,.. THANK YOU!!! With all my heart!

[@GratefulNachos]

Excellent information. Been watching since pandemic and what a great way of wrapping it all together. What a story. Someone should make a movie. Lots of drama. Thanks Nick!

[@brycecarver991]

I have downloaded the KMZ files and just love it, an absolute blessing to society to have this knowledge for free. God bless. I still can't comprehend how Brets made such accurate maps by hand, truly a gift he had. My question I keep looking for evidence on is what do we think caused sudden melting 100-150k yrs ago to cause the "blue" flood.

[@GARRYBENNETT-qp3wy]

I saw the bulk of Nick's talk live, and am now watching it in replay. I love this stuff. THANKS

[@adamcollegeman2]

RIGHT ON! nick great livestream energy Observations love love love Seattle, watching rebroadcast.. remembering last December.. livestreams

[@pcbg01207]

Pete Curtis says Hi from Exmouth Devon UK 🇬🇧. Great presentation, thank you.

[@julescaru8591]

Great lecture, nobody does a livestream like you do Nick, it’s the audience participation that you foster, the engagement with us , how valued you make us feel , thanks 💕

[@toddsawicki]

Great talk! Really enjoyed it - loved the intersection of history & geology

[@pathorgan8643]

Phenomenal talk by Nick, stitching together great geology discoveries with human interest. Nick has done an amazing service to professional and amateur communities, bringing us all together while finding new ground built on century old work.

[@dishnpj3565]

Love seeing this ever expanding community experience! Hopeful the kids see and embrace the elder’s contributions. Our delivery and outer package isn’t sexy anymore but we do have time, creativity, and tenacity.

[@johnnash5118]

I’ve seen every Bretz presentation by Nick, but I was still thrilled with this latest edition to geology.

[@maxinee1267]

Oh Wow oh Wowza, I enjoyed this presentation so much, you are such a dynamic speaker I found myslef on the edge of my seat, knowing so much because I was one of the covid watchers! I have stayed with you ever since. This was great! you never dissapoint Mr Nick Zentnor, and your right you may be doing something unconventional but it means so much to us your followeres. YOu expand an 81 year olds mind, you make me think about real things that are new to me and fun, I had no idea geology could be fun until I met an ensign in the USNavy who had majored in geology and she lit the match, but bow howdy, you were on fire today,. visuals and the whole ball of wax. I will probably try to make the new series in Nov. Just want to say thank you so much for doing this, there is not much out there where we can lose ourselves to knowledge, Best teacher I have ever seen. thats you Nick. I am deeply grateful for you and I tell everyone who will listen to an old lady about you. and how you got me through covid and I love you.

[@kban77]

Watched all these the day they were posted. Now, getting to be reminded of them is like a trip down memory lane. Which is funny because geology itself is a trip down memory lane

[@johnhagemeyer8578]

Thank you Nick. I found you about 3 years ago when i was living in Colfax Wa with my son and driving to Corvallis Or. About once a month. Well your videos made driving back and forth between the two fantastic. Just drive down looking at the lava flows and having a understanding of what i was actually driving through, well priceless. Newport Or.? Is that where one flow terminated? I think from Idaho over by Palouse Wa.. Plaza Id or something. 😊 Thanks for the Knowledge 😅

[@rowdysgirlalways]

This is an incredible video! I've been following your journey as best I can from the community programs you presented through the Nick from Home series and onwards. The community you have brought to life through your curiosity and desire to share the wonders you're discovering is as brilliantly amazing as you are! The actions of total strangers pooling their resources, time and ability to find answers, evidence and proof deserves respect, but this all happened because of one humble, curious, enthusiastic, questioning professor wanting to know the answers so he can share the knowledge. You've made learning an adventure and have gotten an army of strangers of diverse backgrounds to share in your journey. And this video is the culmination of all that you and your army have achieved, bringing the threads together, sharing the credit with everyone and giving us, your viewers, and Patrick, a greater insight into the history of our planet. I am looking forward to your next series. And thank you, Nick, for stepping out and up, informing, teaching, helping us all through quarantine, leading us to new adventures and broadening our outlook on the geology of our world. Final word: I really can't do anything but watch your videos; no embroidery or other sewing, no building projects for my cats, no painting or drawing... your videos seduce my attention.

[@GeologyNick]

Thank you.

[@sharonseal9150]

That was a fun trip down memory lane, as you said, and it is always interesting to see how you tailor your talks to specific audiences. Very exciting to see that Glenn and others are continuing to explore the Bretz/Pardee/Large era and making new discoveries! Thank you Nick for continuing to share these on your website. What a great resource you have created for all of us to read and learn at our own pace. This is the BEST community to be a part of!

[@davidbunting6088]

Wonderful!

[@davec9244]

Good job Hannah, what a pro. Thank you, Mr. Zentner and all the others, for your work. Seems to me Mr. Bretz like all humans had a complexed personality. But most had to admire some aspects of his life. We all dance to the beat of different drums!

[@loveistheanswer8137]

The value of what you are doing has been highly praised by all the geologists you have on. Making the link between old school and modern technologies has huge benefits. Google earth by Glenn is just one example. Enjoy everything you post Nick.

[@vinnynorthwest]

Great job Nick, and Hannah did a great job too! Thanks!

[@jamescouture775]

You did great always brighten my day.

[@sidbemus4625]

Love Ya Nick. Thank you. Tying all the loose ends together.Rocks, floods, ice , bureaucrats and academic personality's.The difference between academic pursuit and water/land use policy.

[@nikkitronic80]

Wow this was so much fun! I am endlessly fascinated by the ice age floods and just the geology of my home state of Washington. Love the audience participation. How cool is it that all these once strangers come together for love of geology and our favorite professor Nick Zentner. Thank you professor Zentner! You truly are the best! All my love from the Olympic Peninsula ❤

[@raenbow66]

❤❤❤ We so appreciate your approach Nick. It's evolutionary!Revolutionary!

[@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935]

There is a lesson here that theory can be respected above evidence! Thanks Nick. From a raised beach up an ice age glacial valley.

[@craigmccue2841]

Great point Nick! Notes are super important. I've kept all my notes from high school and all through my college years for every class. I have boxes and boxes of notes from back in the time before cell phones and PC's. Great presentation! I loved the review.

[@johnleahy5989]

Thank you, Nick. Your presentations are always superb. You are close to a major milestone - 100k on KZbin! Almost as many as ItchyBoots.

[@gregrobertson2726]

What a small world. I previously mentioned more recent travels but failed to mention my beginnings. Watching this compelled me. I was raised off the map (today) in Sunnyside (birth) and in Grandview, my youth. I still consider myself of Eastern Washington though I’ve not been there in 40 years. You’ve answered many questions I’ve had over many years. I must be a frustrated geologist.

[@alanrobbo6980]

Nick, you did not Just Entertain yourself or others, you have Educated me, and Now I’m Learning So much that I Never knew existed. I found you during the Lockdown here in the U.K., and have become a very interested Follower of yours, and some of your Guest Speakers. I can only say "Thank You for your Time and Trouble making thees Lectures." 👍👍

[@guiart4728]

You’re leading the charge! Change takes time because the science process more like a glacier than a flood!

[@hjpngmw]

I will always love that video of Dry Falls flooding. Thank you, Nick, for showing it again. The way you make Bretz et al. come to life while explaining what they learned is incredible. Thank you for all your hard work. I look forward to learning about the Cascades starting in November.

[@wendygerrish4964]

I still like the old one with the RV driving west with it at ~ 70mph.

[@DonnaCsuti-ji2dd]

Wow I'm impressed with your work to get to the information and getting permission to share it. Wonderful

[@DonnaCsuti-ji2dd]

You really added to the knowledge and data because of cooperation help through the internet. Fascinating story about the Washington DC group attack the poor man. And years later awarding him when he was old and never giving up proving his argument. Pardee there are Bay area CA place names (mostly reservoirs etc) after Pardee.

[@DonnaCsuti-ji2dd]

Thanks so much for sharing the meeting Nick

[@DonnaCsuti-ji2dd]

I think the way you teach on line is wonderful so stimulating and as effective as college courses I'm old but never too old to stop learning especially in subjects I always 😍 loved

[@dennk735]

Love it. Marin, CA.

[@robertwalsh1724]

Great work to honor the pioneers who worked with intuition and sweat. Thanks again for a home run Nick.

[@lyndabogue1683]

You took us all on an amazing journey. Most of the colleges are missing out on the importance of your kind of classes, involving the whole community as your classes have done. The colleges only seem to want students to get a college degree that has no jobs at the end…shame on them. Thank you for your hard work and taking us along.

[@rayday7724]

Great lecture!!

[@thomashendron4356]

Thanks again for continued program on what new discoveries on Bretz documents has revealed concerning the “Spokane” floods. Interesting about heat sources underneath the glacier(s) which caused earlier floods. Somebodies master/PhD thesis.

[@FScott-m1n]

New discoveries, that's exciting.

[@xwiick]

Thanks for all the hard work on these videos!

[@Geoplanetjane]

Livestreams are becoming more and more ubiquitous. Please keep doing it.

[@louiscraddock9853]

Very nice program Nick. Looking forward to your new series

[@bearowen5480]

Brilliant, Nick! I'm reengaged and looking forward to Sunday mornings this coming winter here in Colorado as you again entertain and educate me and the world with "The Cascades, From A to Z"! Impromptu, driving from Spokane to Bellevue in July, I tried to drop in on you at CWU, kind of creepily driving through the campus looking for your office late in the afternoon, but driven off by suspicious campus cops! Better luck next time! Regards, Bear Owen, Broomfield, CO, son of the Palouse Loess

[@paulproctor5555]

Great story..thank you❤

[@vernmeyerotto255]

Nick, as usual, an informative and interesting presentation. Your combination of livestream presentation and crowdsourced research data has certainly opened new dimensions in the Missoula Flood story. I hope you can find a grad student to go tramping around Canada to find those basalt flows. Wouldn't that be quite the vindication for the Spokane Flood?

[@PaulA-yh7kr]

Nick I think your pretensions keep my self and outer slow learners like Wiley Coyote on the edge of our chairs. Geology has all ways been of entrust to me but I did not understand the words and then on KZbin was Nick in the back yard I'm hooked thank you I understand. I watch every show most of them on replay and get something out of every one Thank you for your time Nick. Paul

[@cliff4377]

I've definitely got some locations for people to look at, gotta find the photos and hope the geo tags worked so I can find them again. Matching pattern of whiteish layers next to a stream in Oregon that's a nice drive to the coast tucked into a corner and saved from obliteration

[@prayermanone]

It is amazing how far science has advanced in recent times.

[@mfrodyma1480]

Closing in on 100K Subs

[@tomkallen]

Nick is on top of his game and willing to take a risk, all the while moving forward toward the science truths in Geology. High score again.

[@wendygerrish4964]

Aaron Water's letter to Harlen was magneficent and so is this video about it all. Pieces fit together neater for me now.

[@Geoplanetjane]

Replay here from Paradise, CA

[@wendyspicer8588]

I think your You Tube audience is more fun. We don't have to worry about exams so we can let our imaginations run wild. Looking forward to the new series.

[@Sukisunn]

Brets raised a good family. So great his descendants are so information friendly.

[@slitheytoves]

The idea of the waters coming from a glacier in the Spokane region and forming Lake Lewis can be found in Symons Report of 1882 along with a nice map of the "Ancient Lake Lewis"

[@kellyhorton1462]

Great new info at the end. Ty Prof Z

[@Sukisunn]

Got to love it! Nick on rocks. No better place to get generic geology in a informational pack story. Best parts of the story... Where Nick says my best guess is this! I don't know what do you think? GOT TO LOVE IT!

[@Sukisunn]

One thing I love about Nick... He focuses on the information... Especially from out spoken sources. And at least thinks and speaks about unpopular information. And has made it popular. Thanks to COVID and a great teacher still wanting to teach his students! Thank you Nick!

[@vicf5726]

OK, I enjoy this so much thank you! and here comes the BUT, Lets consider for a moment, that other sciences might consider a similar format of interaction, with the world, as you have done Nick, as an older 'viewer' often I have thoughts that modern tech, has given voice to individuals or groups that might shall we say just produce froth, and here is the thing, every so often a GEM floats to the surface, Ive been following along since covid, I cannot remember a lecture/short or discussion that has not put a smile on my face, thank you, and to other scientists in other disciplines take a look at these programmes and consider how your discipline could benefit from this format, better still Zentnerds, put the word out.

[@tim9s]

Memory lane.

[@Azxnrjsle]

Excellent lecture, Nick! Where is your jacket from? I’ve seen you wear it a few times and I love it

[@johnmatlack7177]

I’ve Got to admit I’ve fallen a bit behind in the Cascade volcano series…I guess I’m just a diehard Ice Age fool! Thank you Nick

[@Sukisunn]

Hey Nick... Just a thought... Flood water can come from under or in the ice sheet have a massive liquid lake under the ice pack break through... So so so many ways water in large quantities is involved with ice sheets.

[@paulezycom]

I am still checking Google maps for Skye Cooley. No erosion sighted.

[@paulezycom]

That water came down from the British Columbia trenches and maybe Missoula. Probably also spilled over into the Missouri river valley and into the Mississippi river.

[@SolaceEasy]

Program begins 20:00 "Coda" @ ~1:00:00

[@Slimandthegeeks]

Wow! Maybe we need to rewrite the history books to give a little more credit to Mr. Pardee. First guy doesnt have a chance.Thanks Nick!

[@dacl2819]

Found it interesting that Bretz did work in Missouri in later life. Anyone know of this work and any papers from Bretz?

[@glenncruickshank2859]

Bretz writes about his cave work in Memories, posted on Nicks site.

[@brianjones6350]

43:17 think i had an aha moment. denny hill, i'm assuming was located where denny park is now? located on the strip of land between bellvue and bainbridge, surrounded by sea water? 20k yo deposit from the floods? if all that is accurate and they simply hosed it off into the water to make more land, has anyone taken that into account with cascadia fault damage projections? to me that seems like a delicate feature that withstood several cascadia events in tact, sad it didn't survive humans, but that would tell me cascadia isn't quite as severe as some make it out to be. i don't think something like that would survive the giant violent bathtub sloshing doom many expect.

[@mr.morelock]

Specifically, it was just south of Queen Ann Hill... where the Seattle Center and parts (most) of Georgetown neighborhoods are. Think Denny Way. Much of the soil and rock went to filling in the abrupt coastline and making it level and more dry. Most, however, was loaded onto barges, which flipped over to dump it into the Elliot Bay.

[@brianjones6350]
