    I was there with you in your backyard with your green chalkboard and your iphone in the spring of 2020, isolated in our own worlds with our blessed computers. I am still here with you. This lecture is a lovely summary of so many hours spent on YouTube live. Thank you for all of this...

    “It’s a geology talk about people, a hundred years ago and today.” I love that! Thank you Nick!!!
  • BEAUTIFUL presentation from an amazing man! Thank you for all you do for the public...
  • @sanfordgfogg
    It's admirable Nick's enthusiasm continues to make this geology accessible to us in plain language. Thank you, Nick!

    Oh man! Another outstanding presentation by Professor Zentner! What a tribute to Professor Bretz. Such a nice way to tie a bow on your lecture Nick with that awesome letter . A toast to you. What a great season of ice age floods.

    Excellent Nick. On a humorous note, when I first encountered your videos, you were talking regularly about a "Skye Cooley". Well I must've spent four hours scouring google maps looking for this Skye Coulie- presumably some rock formation carved out by the Spokane or Missoula floods!! 😬🙄
  • Nick! I looked forward to your backyard classes during the Pandemic … they were the perfect antidote for those lockdown days. And I learned so much! Loved your outdoor field trips with awesome geologists like Kathy Troost and others. Being a part of the Professional Geology community is a beautiful way to live. THANKS NICK

    I know nothing about geology - except what I've learned from Nick Zenter. He is far and away the finest teacher I've ever watched. But we did not have so many videos from you, Nick , these last few months, not sure why. Hope you will still post in the summer.
  • Outstanding presentation, Nick. The winter A-Z kept me riveted, and I became convinced you are on the right track. Logically speaking, it makes no sense to say everything happened within the last 20,000 years of a 2 million year event that was the last ice age. You are an example of why it is so important to ask questions regarding the accepted science.

    Wiw the letter from Waters to Bretz made me teary-eyed so thoughtful and wise

    What a fun presentation on how to do research and pull together lots of enthusiastic, free labor via YouTube! Thanks for enriching so many lives Nick!

    I had no interest in geology until I happened to come across one of Nicks videos. Now, I have a whole series of books and playlists dedicated to the subject. Thank you, Nick, for allowing us to journey with you across the pacific north west and our beautiful Earth.
  • EXCELLENT AS ALWAYS! I’M A RETIRED SURGEON NEAR SAN FRANCISCO, AND LOVE THE MISSOULA FLOOD STORY. CAN’T WAIT TO DRIVE THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE FLOOD FROM MONTANA TO ASTORIA. INTERESTED IN THE SPOKAN FLOOD(S) .
  • @richarddoyle2216
    I really appreciate your presentation and content. Thank you from Australia.
  • I'm 2/3rds through and think this is approaching what they give those medal things in Stockholm for. For Nick and all the folks involved.
  • @hughbarrett4841
    Nice work Nick! I’d bet Washington became an even more wondrous place for the Oregonians in that audience. Thanks!
  • @mbvoelker8448
    I've been amazed at the way this all blew up from a fairly simple exploration of a not-so-simple question into a massive exploration of science-history.

    Hi from the Okanagan, British Columbia. Thank you, Nick!
