Ice Age Floods - A Common Thread for Agriculture

I knew Nick was going to be well worth 53 minutes of undivided attention. I really appreciated his live youtube videos during the pandemic lockdown. Nick Zentner makes me want to be a geologist.

It must be so frustrating to look out during a lecture and see people on their phones. Good on you Nick for calling that out.

Can never get enough of Nick! Looking forward to more awesome content in the coming weeks and months.

"let's lock in here" I wish I would have had you for a professor when I was in college. You rock.

Such a great presentation! I looked up Tom Foster after watching this. So sorry to see that he passed away. It's nice to see that his work lives on! Thanks so much for helping us to visualize all of this. I can't believe that some people have the gall to try to conflate the evidence of these floods with some sort of singular global event. 🙄

Nick..... You did it again. I thought I'd drop in for a quick glance at what you had to say and, as usual, you sucked me in and grabbed me with some excellent visuals and a fascinating lecture . Next thing i knew and hour had passed and I was left wanting more. Such a interesting topic. Our earth and all that has happened over the millennia is such a great puzzle to put together. You and all those dedicated people who have and are working to find all the pieces of that puzzle and put them together is a way that is understandable by laymen like me are to be congratulated on what has been done so far. I will continue to be amazed by your presentations of the "stories" and science as it becomes available. Thanks again.

Best part of my day is when Nick posts a new video! He has me hooked on Bretz. Mark from AZ

Thank you for sharing this with us! Another classic presentation of our favorite stories on Ice Age Floods. The photographs were spectacular!

I'll have to say that this is one of the most delightful lectures I've heard Nick present, so far... And, not one Sorry Patrick in the entire hour!

Nick thank you so much for these lectures! As a person who is going into a different field of science and hopes to become a professor one day, your lectures are an amazing inspiration. They are by far some of the best science lectures I've seen not just from a content perspective but also compositionally. I think your ability to convey a narrative(s) within a lecture is such a necessary aspect of getting people engaged. I hope to one day be able to convey neuroscience in a similar enthralling way!

I have been watching your lectures out of sequence but this video brought together all that I had learned previously. Like others I appreciate the effort that you make.

Wow, Nick, you make geology come alive. Shawn Willsey has done a very good job on the Bonniville flood. Each lecture compliments the other. Very easy to follow and retain that knowledge. Thank you.

Love it! Great work Nick. I'm here in Taos NM, southern end of the San Luis valley.. the entire area is on a bedrock of basalt, and the mountains are comprised of a grey granite, but.. at the southern end of town, all the way through Pilar, the hills are filled with hundreds of varieties of stone, tons of colored granite and lots that appears to be river stone. Looks like flood deposit to me!

😂 first off nice shut down on the cell phone troll sad folks need reminded they are being rude. Also as usual a great presentation making it clear the simply massive amounts of water that was released by the floods. Thank you again for enlightening all of us geological amateurs about the world around us.

I've watched several of Nick's lectures on this subject and yet there were several bits of new information presented here that I'd never heard before. You're a fantastic and entertaining teacher Mr. Zentner!

Looking forward to this

Any day with a video from Nick is a good day. :) Thanks, and enjoy your summer! Love the Tom Foster pictures. Like Nick, I think we all miss him a lot.

Very enjoyable presentation. Thank you Nick.

Nick YOU'RE THE BEST 👌 This lecture has completed my Sunday afternoon.

Thanks again, Nick, for letting us listen in on one of your public lectures! Liked the tie ins with local agriculture, and of course, your guest photographers! Sounds like they also might like a lecture on calcrete farming (we have to do that in Central Texas) and what to do before and after the next volcanic ashfall....Loved your putting in the hammer incident twice!
