- The Santa Fe Science Café for Young Thinkers presents Scott Baldridge, guest scientist at LANL, discussing "New Mexico's Dynamic Geology" Date: February 23, 2017. The Café is sponsored by the Santa Fe Alliance for Science, the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and the Santa Fe Public Schools.
He covered a lot and I appreciated every bit of it.
This man is an excellent speaker. Sure taught me a bunch of interesting idea's and concepts about the geology of our great state.... Thank you.
Very fascinating presentation. Retired Geologist here. When I was a kid, we drove by Capulin Volcano all the time but Dad would never turn off the highway for us to go look at it. BTW, Nevada is pronounced just like you spell it with "ad" in the middle, not Nev-Odd-Uh. Thanks for posting; loved it.
Seriously, doesn't the thought of eruptions scare the crap out of you?? I want so much to retire to NM but Los Lunas and Rio Rancho are about the only places I can afford, are not in serious danger of large and frequent wildfires and which are not too far from quality goods and services. But then I saw on the map the "lava beds" which must be just a few miles if that much from Los Lunas. I know that Lunas, like Belen Socorro, gets low force quakes, like the last one in 2009 in Lunas that sounded like a loud bang and broke someone's window. But are these beds and/or other volcanic systems due for erupting over the next 20 years? Ditto for the Silver City area of Grant County and much less affordable Las Crucas Dona Ana County? Please advise.
It is highly unlikely anything will happen in the next twenty years. If it does, there will be warning events that will give you plenty of time to decide to leave at your leasure.
My stepbrother and are from NY but he's been living in CO since the early 80s. He says it's Colo-ODD-o, not AD-o.
@@kalburgy2114 A fat lot of good that will do if the house that I've been saving my whole life to buy gets wiped out. Besides, human driven climate change is happening so fast now that in a decade or less ground water levels in much of NM may simply be too low support even a one person household with a 150 ft well. And if I have enough neighbors we might even end up competing for water usage if our wells tap into the same shrinking aquifer. All of this can only get worse thanks to climate change driven mostly by overpopulation and over consumption-the two greatest of all stupid human tricks.
Such a great presentation for people interested in know the whole picture of the geology and physiography of the NM State. Interesting the fact that there is lot to cover in terms of geologic research. Thanks a lot!
Beautiful country
Thank you w Scott baldridge.
The Sangre de Cristos were visible from our dining room window in Los Alamos. Oddly enough, the view of the Jemez, on which we were located, was blocked by the encroaching forest.
The last question, it was never clarified that the disposal of " produced" water in oilfields can cause quakes. Most oil has accompanied brackish water mixed within it the entire time the wells are produced. This water is separated and reinjected into deep formations. It seemed the lady asking the question thought it was all water used in fracking the well which would only be a very small percentage of the total produced water
New Mexico's Volcanoes aren't done yet! That you can count on.. More will likely also be born. Its really gonna be Something.
@Derrick Bridges not as unique as you make it seem lmao once we start getting more entrepreneurs noticing and moving business here we will do better
But geologically it's crazy fun so much to learn so much to see also in terms of archeology
I sure hope you're wrong because I've run out of favored retirement destinations.
At 20:06, Can anybody tell me the specific name and location of the tabletop rocks that are just sitting on top of the vertical column rock?
He answers both your questions, they are hoodoos, located in the Bisti badlands in NW New Mexico.
Also tent rocks in cochiti pueblos, between Santa fe an Albuquerque
HooDoo's are the larger ones, the Toad Stools are the smaller ones.
A growing intrusion in the upper crust sounds like a revolution of the peasantry.
@56:40 The crust of our Earth was broken and subducted - for the first time - along the coasts of Italy a little over 600 years ago - all the other tectonic plates were broken after that - this includes the tectonic plates along the Pacific Ring of Fire, the tectonic plates along Antarctica, the tectonic plates beneath the Himalayan Mountains, etc. - this is documented in old records by our ancestors - the forces that broke and subducted the tectonic plates also documented - the rapid rise in the elevations above the mountains is not a mystery.
🤡🤣
barking mad and howling at the moon.
@@TheShootist Since the vast majority of geologists graduate with their C average in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Geology, Calculus, etc., from low level institutions with minimal entrance requirements ...
Since the IQ"s of geologists are uploaded online by Psychologists, we know you're 85 to 115 IQ are, at best, the intellectual equivalent of the smart kids in fifth and sixth grades ... which explains why these overgrown children with schizophrenic minds are so eager to grasp at adolescent guessing games, juvenile wild imaginings and insane claims which they refer to as t h e o r i e s while the true timeline for the broken and subducted tectonic plates is documented in thousands of independent sources, written in dozens of languages from all across our Earth which includes Greek and Arabic, Latin and Spanish, Japanese and Chinese, Russian and French and so on.
Since you're indoctrinated and programmed to believe in t h e o r i e s about "millions of years ago" while the true timeline for the tectonic plates, the ocean trenches and archipelago islands is clearly documented in old records, and since you've never bothered to study the available evidence, you have nothing to corroborate your beliefs ... except unsubstantiated claims like " scientists say " ...
I suppose that's your idea of "science" ... "Creationists" are also a pack of lunatics.
at 19:29, where the heck did ALL that soil that eroded from around Ship Rock go? :)
Wind, water, and pottery. lol
Digging around just looking for information on what would happen if the Rio grande rift fully separated.. and would it be similar to the creation of the Siberian trap's? 🤔🧐.
Are any of these volcanos dangerous? If the Yellowstone or Mt. Rainer blows will they cause other volcano to blow by pushing the tectonic plates?
Oh yeah Jennifer when it blows it'll be a chain reaction
Jennifer Bringman Indeed They can be. We have also Many Super Volcanoes here, in New Mexico as well. Our Volcanoes, are not nearly done. Or Dead. They can go off. Thats the Full Truth.
Western regions of the USA have dozens of supervolcanoes that erupted in the same evening, along with thousands of smaller volcanoes - the exact date is documented in different languages by people more than 10,000 miles apart - you can believe in theories or speculation but if you want the true timeline for our Earth's continents, oceans, mountains, cataclysms, etc., you can find it documented in over a dozen languages from all across our Earth, going back over 600 years - this includes the timeline for the broken and subducted tectonic plates, the timeline for the ocean trenches and archipelago islands, the timeline for all our continents and oceans, the timeline for our Earth's expansion, the timeline for the Himalayas, Andes, Rockies, Aleutians, Alps, the Antarctic mountains, glaciers, ice shelves, volcanoes, etc, the timeline for the Greenland mountains, glaciers, ice shelves, volcanoes, etc. - all of this is documented by our ancestors who collectively tell us that the timeline from "scientists" is complete lunacy.
@john heiskell The fake biblical timeline of nearly 6,000 years is exposed as a psy-op, the historical timeline of thousands and thousands of years is exposed as a psy-op, and the fake geological timeline of millions and billions of years is also exposed as a psy-op.
You are free to cling to the inside walls of the prison of lies that holds you captive - if that's what makes sense to you - but you might pause a bit to look at the IQ's of your unintelligent fake science gods who graduated from low level institutions with a C in Chemistry, a C in Geology, a C in Physics and a C in Calculus - if this is your idea of "brilliant science", forget I mentioned it - but those of us with intelligence look beyond the deception to see the evidence which exposes the truth of our world:
The ice ages are fiction, pangaea is fiction, continental drift and continental collision are fiction, the timeline from ice cores is intentional disinfo, the timeline from carbon dating is intentional disinfo, the timeline from Egyptology is intentional disinfo, etc.
If you enjoy clinging to the lies that you are programmed to believe - by those that control the multi-million dollar publishing houses that print the lies and lunacy in schoolbooks and college textbooks, along with their lies in their fake science magazines, the lies in their peer-reviewed journals that maintains compliance among their low IQ experts whose "climate forecasts" have been repeatedly wrong - year after year after year ...
At what point do you finally realize the "experts" are a pack of frauds?
If you can't see the conspicuous contradictions in the geological evidence, there's not much I can say to help you.
@john heiskell It hasn't occurred to you to watch my videos? - My uploaded video about supervolcanoes, my uploaded video about the corruption in the usgs, and others will help you to see the deception, the conspicuous evidence, etc.
PLEASE don't tell me that the ABQ basin lava fields are due for eruptions!! My dream has been to retire to NM, but Los Lunas and Rio Rancho are about the only places I can afford, are not in serious danger of large and frequent wildfires and which are not too far from quality goods and services. Why does the Land of Enchantment have to be so damned hazardous??!!
I don't understand why this gets so many downvotes...
41:00. It's the "old Route 66 road".
There aint nothin on this Earth that will date a million years old.
I think Nick Zetner has ruined me on Geology lectures. This is interesting on what's said, not however the presentation, and that's a opinion. Another Opinion is this guy needs a red bull or two.
Ah yes Professor Nick.Two Tone are you a from home live stream groupie?
Nick has some amazing theories - fortunately, they've been proven wrong by hundreds of historic documents.
I prefer this guy to Nick
You said it,Nick blows this guy away,quite boring!get a chalk board and a side dish of personality!
Unfortunately the video quality is abysmal. The lecture was difficult to follow for a non-geology person.
To those that might design a geology curriculum in the future: the geology course I took in college was MWF-classwork and labs on Tuesday. I will never forget that my first lab assignment was to find the weight of the earth. Seriously? How is this supposed to get me interested in geology? That kind of thing sounds like something geo majors with nothing better to do would do as a dare.
For clarification: As a kid I was into dinosaurs, but I took it to the nexr level, studying geology, oceanology and meteorology because all three overlap. If there had been geology in high school and junior high-I would have taken it, but instead I had biology forced on me. Do you think that I care that there are 5 million species of butterfly with orange wings? A butterfly is a butterfly is a butterfly. Yawn. Biology did teach me that a lot of today's "science" is way overblown. The media will blast headlines that a species of butterfly is about to die out. Really? That will leave 4,999,999 species of butterfly. Is there a shortage? By no means. Nature abhors a vacuum. Also, science seems to discover new species all the time. About ten years ago I read a press release that science "discovered" a new species of bug, but they've been around since the age of dinosaurs. Well, no shit Sherlock. I played with that same type of bug 55 years ago and you're just now figuring it out?
@3:30 Your chart proves nothing - the true timeline for Earth's continents, oceans, mountains, expansion, cataclysms, etc., is documented in historic records, written in over a dozen languages from all across our Earth - this includes the timeline for the broken and subducted tectonic plates, the timeline for the ocean trenches and archipelago islands, the timeline for Grand Canyon, Yellowstone and the eruptions of dozens of other supervolcanoes and the timeline for thousands of other volcanic eruptions, since the documentation also includes the timeline for the Siberian and Deccan Traps, Nuuanu, Eltanin, etc. - do the research instead of clinging to guesses, speculation, wild imaginings, theories and other lunacy - your lack of professionalism and insanely adolescent immaturity is intolerable.
Great Video! (Jesimiel Millar Fernåndez) 1M1K627
