If I could give two thumbs up I would! Thank you for answering so many interesting questions. Love the updates.

Absolutely fascinating to see things close up. Well done to the folks who invented drones. Thank you Shawn. Di…Cumbria.

Father’s Day if you want to and Lakeland Florida we’re receiving you loud clear. Flight that you were able to control the drone from the US fabulous view of the volcano eruption. Left side

Flying right through the smoke

Thanks again for the lesson. 2:2.

Thank you for the fly!

Neat find, I love when man documents Gods work and ponders how he did it🎉

Thank you, Shawn. The time just flew by, it was fascinating to get some of the history around the development of the theory of plate tectonics.

That animation for the future 50 million years or so did not include the formation of a new, fairly large island near East Africa. As far as I know, East Africa is rifting and eventually will move to the east, carrying Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and parts of a few other countries with it.

Thank you so much, Professor, you're absolutely fascinating to listen to.

Damn I missed it live!

Thank you! Such a clear presentation of tectonics. Interesting to see what the continental lineup looks like next. Baja BC, The Sequel!

Thank you again, Shawn! Technology at its best + your perspective as a geology professor: simply brilliant! We are very lucky that you do and share this. Thanks also to Johann & NatureEye of course, and again to @MandieJo and Susan for keeping the live chat nice and respectful. Enjoy your family trip to South Carolina! :)

There are many quakes in Italy the swarm is scary 100s of light shakes

Shawn please accept this criticism as intended. You need to streamline these reports. You tend to over-elaborate and repeat yourself and the video goes on and on without making any interesting points. If you have something interesting to say, please get to the point.

The Vishnu schist is the fashizzle.

Love today's lecture 👌 very interesting. Thank you

That was awesome. Thank you.

Great flying, fascinating.

Thanks shawn amazing as always wendy albany western Australia

This is soooo exciting

What fascinating shapes. Thank you Shawn.

thank you for sharing the experience with the drone flight

Thanks for all the hard work on these videos

That has to be the most amazing beach I have ever seen. Amazing, dynamic rocks! Thanks so much for all your efforts and for the opportunities to learn.

Less wind strength at low altitude

Very enjoyable, many thanks for taking your time to help others

Truly loving this new series, much appreciated!!

I first learned about Wegener and continental drift in high school in Germany, which got me quite interested in geology in general. That was some 45 years ago, and life and other interests took over. Then I started following you for the Iceland updates. Have watched all of your videos since, plus many from other channels, and I love geology more than ever. Thank you!

That mantle diagram is seems peculiar to me as it was my understanding that the asthenosphere is the layer of the upper mantle below the crust where the mantle undergoes substantial plastic deformation and thus is a layer of the upper mantle above the more conventionally solid and the divide between the upper and lower mantle is separated by the Mantle Transition Zone(MTZ) which is more or less the current depth at which primary mantle hydration and certain kinds of structural recrystallization occur within sinking and stagnant subducted slabs which have yet to have recrystallized into denser rocks to a sufficient degree to drive them deeper into the planet. Has the asthenosphere and upper mantle been redefined more recently? Or was this an error?

Does redfish lake have red fish in it?

Enjoy your family in South Carolina Shawn. I watched your second Geology 101 and just sorry I’m not 60 years younger but enjoyed and learnt a lot.👍😀

Thanks!

Awesome video and drone footage thank you. Shawn a question. With the land rise in fact dropping instead of increasing. could that mean that the main feeds to that reservoir has been blocked and or restricted to the point the outflow is exceeding the inflow? If so does or could that indicate that the source way down deep will try and find a new path upwards, I guess the indication of that would be earthquakes..... Thank you to you and all the mods for everything they do keep safe and well :)

Hi Shawn Willsey, great job as always, particularly like that it is so natural flowing from you with ease. I grew up near the Hudson River and first climbed on the crude , crumbling basalt columns of the Palisades and remember from a kid learning it was identical to a wall on the northern coast of Africa.

I’ve recently arrived back home from a day at the George Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary in Delta, Lower Mainland,Vancouver ( I live on the North Share. This drone flight is (along with Izak’s) is great and your overview is wonderful. Thank you Shawn.

Shawn, enjoy your educational and update videos on Geology, keep it up. Some years ago, I listened to a podcast on the 5 "big bangs" of science, in particular Physics. This podcast discussed the big breakthroughs in thinking within the field which has shaped our understanding as of today. From memory this was ideas of Newton, Einstein, Quantum Theory, Standard Model etc. I have often wondered, what would be the 5 "big bangs" of understanding geology?. Clearly Plate tectonic theory would be one of them. Therfefore I am wondering if you have any views about what the other breakthroughs in our understanding of geology, vulcanism and earth sciences are and if you could put together a video explaining what these might be? Regards, Another Midnight Oil fan from Australia.

Great 101 class!!

Great interview. I am going to pass this link onto a good friend who lives just outside the park and spends lots of time up there.

Thank you!!!

I lived in the Imperial Valley for several years. We had swarms of earthquakes when the weather heated up and again when it cooled off. I’ve always wondered if there is a connection between temperature shifts and earthquake activity.

This was great. Thanks so much for making this stuff available for curious people that will never have the means/ability to attend a uni classroom. I just noticed number two went up so looking forward to that! Cheers man.

That's really cool views of the active lava flow. Thanks for sharing with everyone.

Grindavik, home to the most defiant greenhouse on the planet!

I'm gonna save this for when my kids get older. Thanks for taking your time to teach and expand our minds.

Fascinating stuff!

Wow, this is a really smart collaboration, Shawn. Curious if they approached you or vice versa. One could imagine spinning something similar off into a remote geology field trip business, more specific than what NatureEye offers, with included booklets, recommended reading, maps, and live narration from geologists.

Thank you for another great livestream. The drone flight over the volcanic landscape was amazing.

Wonderful update! So great to get back to using the drone. It makes the videos just amazing! Well - off to do 101 now! Enjoy your vacation.
