- CWU's Nick Zentner presents 'Mount Rainier's Osceola Mudflow' - the 19th talk in his ongoing Downtown Geology Lecture Series. Recorded at Hal Holmes Center on February 15, 2017 in Ellensburg, Washington, USA. www.nickzentner.com
If someone told me in college that in the future I'd be watching 1 hour geology lectures for fun, I wouldve laughed in their face. But here I am!
I’ve watched every lecture he does that I can find. Some twice, lol.
Me too!😳
The man is a truly brilliant speaker!
Right ba humbug history, and here im am at uh a wiser me . And I play in mud ain't afraid to get my hands/ finger nail dirty and Lord sound look and speak like my momma of couse I write like after yrs off
Forging her name on school papers ect yep one of those brats lol saved me from plenty a ass whipping.....
I enjoyed the lectures in college, at least the geology, sociology, and theatre ones.
Everyone should have an enthusiastic teacher like you, Sir. You definitely further stimulate my interest in geology. Thank you.
One day we will loose this great man. I hope not in the near future. He loved his career and his students and the world loves his lectures. Thank you for still showing them on the internet. I can never get enough of him talking about our earth. Yes I was a rock picker. Only if I knew he was teaching this in my younger days I would have moved to attend his classes. I did end up working in the worlds largest lead smelter. But my heart was with my hands in the dirt picking but had no clue what all I held in my hands. Yap I found diamonds.
Nick my husband's name is Jerry. I lived in Enumclaw in the Osceola area from 1955 until 1967 when he was transferred to Kent when Boeing built a plant in the valley. Until you talked about our mountain,s last blow. I didn't know about this until your lecture.
I retire from the Army this year and was unsure of what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to go back to school but didn't know what I wanted to study... until now. Because of you Sir, I want to study Geology. You are excellent at presenting the information that keeps people interested. Thank you!
Memorable comment. Thank you. Best wishes to you!
It's gangster like the army..and just as Godless
I can't get over thinking Nick as Al Bundy with a geology degree. Peg! There was a mudflow right here 10 million years ago, about the last time you cooked a good meal!
I grew up on Bainbridge island. I grew up as a commercial salmon fisherman. My dad taught me how to run a boat and make money catching fish. I am now working building solar panels, currently in north Carolina. These videos make me feel at home. As a Washington fisherman, I learned to respect the land. Being away from home.... I can say I like experiencing new beauty, but there is nothing quite like Washington beauty. And because of these videos I can actually understand why.
I will probably end up watching all of Nick's stuff on CZcams, many times. Fantastic stuff ! I should have studied geology.
Yea I think this is my 5th time to watch this particular video of his. He and this topic never gets old.☺️💜
@@otterssilver7299 Lovely piece of irony! Love it!!
Im from Enumclaw also. You have a gift at speaking and teaching about our beautiful state. Thanks for all the knowledge !
My wife and I flew over Mt St. Helens in September 1980, 4 months after the eruption. Every stick of lumber was laid over like a million toothpicks, away from the blast wave, for miles around, and Spirit Lake was a log filled muddy patch.
Perfect tone,diction and sound level. I could listen to any subject he is talking about.
Thank you Nick Zentner, you are really helping me teach my third graders about our Amazing Region!!!! The LOVED the video of Dry Falls!!!!! Especially your little RV!!!!
Great stuff Nick! I'm a native Washingtonian, 73, I'm hooked!
That gentleman can really give a lecture. Never seen him interviewed or talked about....very knowledgeable. His lectures are always very interesting. Wished I had teachers like him back in high school.
4 years ago. love your lectures. wish i was there.
I never knew that geology could be so intriguing..
Your enthusiasm is really contagious and I've learned a lot from watching these lectures!
That's a nice comment, Anders. Thank you.
I really enjoy watching your presentations. I hope the people of the Pacific Northwest know how lucky they are to have a man like you (and all the others Rocky to you) watching over their geologic happenings, for lack of a better word. I see and feel your passion and at 61 it's renewed my passion to learn how our environment past present and future was, is and will be (kinda). Keep up the good work you're a fantastic teacher
I want to thank you so much for having all of your lectures here on You Tube. I have been very interested in geology since the age of twelve (Jules Verne got me hooked with Journey to the Centre of the Earth and his vivid description of the eruption of the Mysterious Island's volcano). You have provided me a way to learn more of the fascinating rocks of our planet.
u know there is a inner earth so that flick was like geology 101 for u. and this would be a like 102 and that movie became your prerequisite. lol. cool
I love this guy, wish all my teachers over the years were half as enthusiastic!
Great documentary, excellent teacher. He used many techniques, video, story, humour, other speakers and honouring others in the field. Hard not to like him.
Thanks much, Rod. Come visit!
I wish Nick had some more video lectures on here! IF my teachers in my basic education were delivering the information in a fun presentation as Nick does, it would have been a LOT more interesting! Not only more interesting, but I would have been more apt to learn!
Love your channel and your explanations about our coastal geology.
Please keep making these videos. Thank you.
God blessed
Prof. Zentner is the kind of professor that might very well get me majoring something I never intended to major in. Very good stuff.
I lived in Sumner, WA for four years in the mid-1980's. Sumner is built on a mud flow. I managed an apartment complex while there. I could see Mt Rainier out my front window. When a bus went past, my whole building shook noticeably because we were on wet mud. Crazy place to build.
Interesting. Thanks.
Love these videos; very informative. 76 years old? I would have thought no more that 56 years old? Great genetics?! Please continue to make these videos❤️
Gosh I'm loving these lectures! Nick, you're a fantastic lecturer! Makes me want to learn more! Also wish we had more interesting geology in Australia... I know we've got very old rocks and stromatolites but nothing as exciting as active volcanoes, glacial lake dam breaks, fault lines and such. Please keep sharing these with us Nick!
Thank you, I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation. You are truly amazing
I am captivated by natural beauty of Washington. I'm from NC and I've visited twice! Wish I could live near all the amazing geology! Thanks for the lectures!
Sir, you are a teacher's teacher.
How I wished you had been my Geology teacher.
Your style, passion, enthusiasm and knowledge is impressive ......i will watch this lecture several more times.....I look forward to your other videos.
We need a teacher like you in every college and university. Keep it up Sir.
Thanks. Some of my current students might beg to differ.
Nick Zentner i was a student of yours and you were awesome.
Nick Zentner i was a student of yours and you were awesome.
I had a teacher like him while was in Junior College 40+ years ago. He was the best teacher I ever had, and I will never forget him. And, because of him, Minnesota Geography was the best class I ever had, and this video makes me feel like I am reliving that class again today.
@Southeastern777 "This... means... something..."
ohwait - that was in Wyoming
It is just absolutely incredible to have anything flowing 600 ft deep flowing from a volcanic mudflow! Albeit, it isn't not too terribly difficult to understand why it was that deep, but that doesn't make it any less incredible!
Also, thanks for all the lectures you do, I will go back and re-watch these because there's so much to learn and I guess you know the content is good when you want to go back and watch it multiple times- whether it be two consecutive days or every few months, etc. I definitely hope you guys can you doing these and read new episodes when new research comes out like you have done and so on. This is one of my favorite series on CZcams 😊
Love this video. I rewatch this every once in awhile as I learn more from Professor Nick through his abundant videos. Thank you, Nick!
I got here after watching a short video on Arizona volcanoes, I will be bookmarking this, very exciting and easy to understand.
I'm from the UK and just love these lectures, with every one I learn something new. Wish I'd had a teacher like you when I was at school as I now find myself fascinated by Geology. Please keep the videos coming.
Great
All I have been doing lately is learning about Mt. Rainier’s activity, history, and geology. I’m regretting not getting my bachelors in the sciences again.
Thanks for making science accessible and engaging!
I've learned so much from these! I don't even know where I found them first but I listen to them right before bed and it's awesome. Thanks for making these!
Same!! Great way to relax to go to sleep
You rock Nick, no pun intended! I have watched many of your lectures and like most viewers, I find your teaching style and information to be so freaking interesting and entertaining . I hope CSU values you as much as your audience does. I admire and respect your contribution to both teaching and geology! Rock on my friend! 😎
What an excellent teacher in the way he gives the presentation . Love the way he delivers the information.
I love this guy. I wish I'd gone to his school! I love animated educators whose passion is contagious.
We need more Nick TV... I'd love to see new content, even if its about the same subjects or overlapping. Great work!

He’s a great teacher ❗️❗️
I have enjoyed every presentation of his that I have seen.
Thank You ‼️‼️‼️‼️
Hahaha
The time frame of the mountains is very interesting. I thought I was feeling old. I was in the geology club 40 years ago in Illinois. What a great time watching this class! Thank you.
Thank you for an excellent presentation of the mud flows into the area from Mt. Rainier. I remember 25 yrs ago reading about the ancient logs found in the Orting and Puyallup valleys. I did not realize the immensity of these flows. Again, thanks for another excellent presentation.
Great lecture Nick, you really are a brilliant communicator!
Thanks Gavin!
You will not find a better geology teacher in the world then this gem. Nick rocks!
Listening to this man makes me want to learn. I only wish every teacher had this excitement in teaching.
Please explain to me how I am able view these world class lectures, for free.
These are the greatest. Love them!
I am fascinated by these lectures. Pat Abbott was my professor of Geology at SDSU. Similar approach. Dynamic and keeping it real. Thank you.
I think I'm on my 6th Nick at night binge watch. Neat AND on the rocks :-)
Thanks!
-Jake
Hahaha... so true.
All teachers should have your passion and enthusiasm.
Absolutely fascinating!
Thank you so much
It's always enjoyable to come back to the video that got me hooked on Nick Zentner and the geology of the Pacific Northwest.
Beautiful pics of Rainier National Park. Wish the weather had been better the week I was out there. And Nick is a great teacher. What an education in geology and volcanology. This is the reason video and the internet were invented.
Outstanding Lecture by most outstanding Lecturer. Value ++. No filers, straight to the information with many easily followed connections. Yes with some comedic bonding, loved it.
Love this guy and his lectures - bringing enthusiasm and passion back into geology and science. I don't even live in Washington, just tuning in for my own curiosity and quest for knowledge.
All of your lectures are mesmerizing. This is one of my favorites. It would be great to catch one of your presentations someday when I can schedule vacation time. You may well be the John Madden of Geologic Science.
Ha! John Madden! Most of my talk around the state are free and open to all. Check nickzentner.com for schedule. Thanks.
What an awesome presentation.
I have always had an interest in Geology and thought about being a Geologist at one time. I was always looking for rocks for my collection, so I always walked around looking down. Then I found out that Geologist don't hunt for rocks per say, so I pursued a different career path, but Geology still fascinates me. Very interesting history of volcanic activity in the Northwest.
Rock on……..
Yet another fabulous lecture!!! In my wildest imagination, I can't fathom that ANYONE would get - as you put it - "impatient" with the pace of your presentations. Not possible!! I used to live in Wenatchee, so each one of your videos is like 'going home' and appreciated more than I can say. Can't wait to watch them all. Thank You!!!! Love the PNW!!!!!
Thanks! All of my stuff is at nickzentner.com if interested.
I'm in western Wisconsin but have been to Seattle a few times and I never get over Mt Ranier's incredible beauty. This coming from someone in awe of the Driftless region that surrounds me. See more on CZcams @ Mysteries of the Driftless.
I have watched your videos for about a year. I'm a geology buff. Somehow I've never seen this particular video about the the mud flows coming off of Ranier. Really well explained and visualized.
Nick your presentations are WORLD CLASS. The way you create interest in every sentence is priceless. Great job. I look forward to recording you in a future presentation. I will be in touch. Thank You!
Thanks for the compliment....and for watching.
these lectures make me really want to study Geology now.
Right
Right. I am a biologist, sitting in central europe, and I still watch these (it´s my third of these lectures now), because its just so interesting. And I learn a lot about geology and scientific reasoning and thinking, even if I never even saw the US Northwest.
Really interesting! A great job. Thank you for making it YT available.
I find this and all of your lectures I’ve viewed so far incredibly fascinating! I swear I got into the wrong field! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your magnetic personality with us.
Great presentation Nick. Well done.
I have no interest in volcanoes, geology and the like, but this guy is such a wonderfully compelling lecturer, he had me rapt the whole time.
I feel like the st Helens eruption was a blip on the radar. in hindsight, it is more of a treat than anything that it happened in our lifetime. We may never see another eruption like that again in the cascades for a while. Also not only are they so beautiful, provide habitats and places for snowboarding, it gives you granite when its all said and done
Another one of your excellent videos describing the amazing geology landscape in your area and even though I live in Australia I enjoy so much to watch your very informative lectures. I would be amazed if anybody fell asleep in your lecture hall during your discussions. You are an excellent teacher and lecturer. Thank you again.
Hello from the USA and thank you for your nice comments. Nice to hear that these lectures are being enjoyed so far away!
I've been reading about geology and the pacific northwest for about 20 years, and it makes so much more sense now, finally.
Of course, now that it makes so much more sense, it also makes me realize just how dangerous it all is. And that it WILL happen ...
I'm ancient by most people counting 67 years and I'm still watching his videos because he's an excellent speaker and educationally enriching
If I had you as a Professor in college I would have turned out to be a Geologist. I live in the Tri-Cities, my Grandfather taught me about the ice age floods when I was young and I have always had a thirst for geology. I stumbled upon your CZcams lectures and have watched every single one I could find. I turned my Dad onto your videos as well and about half the time I see him on his laptop he is watching your videos. Your work is much appreciated Sir! Very enriching information and a very captivating delivery. Thank you Mr. Zentner.
Very nice comments, Rick. Thanks. Nice to hear that Dad is enjoying the lectures too.
The White River canyon that forms the Pierce/King county line today that starts at Buckley and ends at the Game farm park in Auburn has several visible Osceola deposits. I grew up in Bonney Lake right by the canyon.
Nick thanx again from Idaho...ive been teaching myself geology of my area...and your Lectures have been an intregal part of understanding Idaho by its relation to Wa. I was pleasantly suprised to see and Now "this week" able to watch all your recent uploads...Much Appreciation! For doing such a great job in Assembling and communicating the Info!
Your enthusiasm is much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to write.
fantastic talk i really enjoyed it thank you
Thanks you for sharing Nick. I've now watched at least six of your videos and there all very informative. Keep up the great work!
This was an amazing lecture! Thank you very much!
I love Cascade peaks. One of the most beautiful volcanoes in the world. I did not had a chance to see any of these magnificent peaks. I hope i will one day. My country is far from any tectonic activity. And last ice age glassiers made sure that the horizon here would be almost as flat as a table.
Although, I had some luck to see some of the Mexico's volcanic peaks. Such as Pico the orizaba, Popocatepetl, Iztaccihuatl, many small cones and Nevado de Toluca, which I climbed. It seems that it might have experienced an event, similar to Mount St. Helen's. It had lost it's peak and have a big caldera-like crater with lava dome in the middle and two lakes. I also noticed huge ash and what it seems a lahar deposits in the surrounding areas. Countryside roads are cut deep in these deposits exposing some layers of past eruptions. I wonder how it have looked before it lost it's peak.
Hello from the US. Thanks for the comments. Come visit!
3/6/2021. I watched again, wonderful, great, informative. Thank you.
washington is an awesome state for a geologist!!!
Totally agree!
Iceland as well
Just fascinating!! I never knew volcanoes could make mudflows like that!
Hey Nick! I really enjoy your lectures! Geology has always fascinated me, and I never pass up the opportunity to learn more about things that interest me, especially if it's free. Not only are your lectures informative, they're also fun, an important combination! Keep up the excellent work, Nick!!
William in SF
Thanks for the nice comments, William. It's fun to spread the word about this interesting research.
I like this guy. Informative
and entertaining.
I never realized how dangerous Mount Rainer really is. Great video. Learned alot. Im a lil nervous after that giant mud flow that happened August 5th.
I just plain enjoy his lectures, if that is the word I'm looking for.
well a. he is a very good teacher .. when I was doing computational math/computing .. the lecturer actually started as a high school math teacher .. but he ended up having an equation in the subject named after him .. and yes Dr Noye was brilliant
Awesome lecture and teacher! I'm very interested in geology and your videos gives easy to understand knowledge on this field. Many thanks from Brazil! 😃
Thanks for another great lecture Nick. I watched the Tsunami vid a few weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed it also. CWU students are lucky to have such a great teacher. Keep up the fine work.
Thanks for the note, William. Nice to hear that you are enjoying the lectures.
This professor is amazing i think i could actually stay awake during his lectures which is amazing for me. He makes me want to go to college
Great video. Wish I had an instructor like you in school. I miss the Northwest.
Thank you. Come back!
lilRecon09 I am enjoying these videos. I've had a couple of excellent instructors in my life (geography and lasers). Thing is, I also have memories relating to St Helens from 1980, as I have friends who live in Vancouver WA? But my sister in law was talking to her folks on the phone while that was going on and she teased him about the ash. He poo-poohed her comments until he went to pick up the evening paper from his doorstep and had a modest layer of ash there and on the front walk. They lived in Bozeman MT. That's a goodly distance away.
Addendum: my mother waszan avid rockhound, and during the 2 years we lived in Butte, she checked out lots if books from Montana School of Mines (now Monrana Tech), back in the 1950s. We grew up learning geology over dinner and on weekends.
Such an enjoyable relief to get a solid and steady presentation like this, instead of the usual overly-dramatic disaster tripe that the networks push out as "educational material". You should think about doing some documentaries.
Thanks much, Ian. Agree about the tone in many TV documentaries.
Interest6
I think everyone is sick of that stuff lol
I thoroughly enjoy your presentations! I would love to be a student in a class taught by you. Thank you for your wonderful. Programs. Please do more. My parents grew up in Yakima. I want to know more about the cascades.
I second other opinions here. The man knows what he’s talking about and can make it interesting and entertaining. Wish I had had instructors like him in school. Can you imagine how much more interesting high school and college would have been and how much more we might have learned if more teachers were like him???
I really enjoy your presentations. You have taught me a great deal and I look forward to seeing many more presentations in the future. I live in Victoria, BC and have a deep interest in the geology of the North West.
You, my good sir, likely deserve a raise.
I just discovered these vids. They're wonderful! I'm adding them to my son's home school curriculum.
We are watching these with our children as well.
Excellent presentation, very informative.
Love your work!!!
Thanks 🙏
These lectures are wonderful. I wish I were a geologist!
Mount st
Helens blew on my nephews 1st birthday just 9 months after moving out of Seattle to Utah
What a great teacher!!! I wish Nick was my geography teacher.
We need this Man to teach Calculus!
I barely passed!
Amen.
Nick isn’t a calculus teacher. I tutor folks in calculus, and I *guarantee* my work. If you don’t end up being able to absolutely master it, you don’t pay. But it’s intensive one-on-one interaction; unless you’re in SoCal, I can’t help you.
@@Vito_Tuxedo i think she meant an equivalent not him actually.
@@elizabethjansen2684 Ah...well, I'm not sure Nick has an equivalent, in calculus or elsewhere. Anyhow, in my experience, folks who have a tough time with calculus haven't mastered analytical geometry. Go back and lock that in, and calculus is a breeze. Truth be told, for me the key was taking it with physics. By itself, calculus wasn't making sense. But physics gave it some real-world context, and showed how it's actually useful. 😎
"You can never truly appreciate a volcano until you have climbed it" ~ Steve Spear PhD
A lot of people 'climbed' into White Island caldera off New Zealand.
@@millieo7155 That's exactly what I thought of too lol. I'll leave climbing volcanoes to the more "adventurous" people.
