Well done video and Nick Zentner has a natural talent for engaging the audience and conveying complex concepts in bite sized easily consumed scientific information. His skills with the chalkboard are also amazing. Great work Nick and a shout out to the supporting team as well.

This guy is a gifted public dad speaker. What's more, he clearly has a dedicated and enthusiastic fan base.

I’m no spring chicken, but an ice age flood is simply too old for me to consider dating.

Thank you Nick for giving the dating advice.

Thanks Nick for turning a pandemic into an academic!

This was really good. But I would also like to see some stuff on the Ice Age Floods near the Great Lakes, like the Kankakee Torrent. The Pacific Northwest events get all the love.

Could the thickness of the slack water sediment layers get thinner as they are laid down because of the water course running in the same pathways and having less loose soil to pick up and move downstream? If you hose a concrete driveway off that is covered in dirt and gravel, the first time you clean it you get the most debris. Subsequent washings will result in less debris each time you clean.

I dated an ice age flood once. Things moved slowly at first, but with a little bit of warmth, things started to flow more naturally

Thank you Nick! you're a geology rockstar. Most shy away from topics that are yet to be fully explained.. you show us the newest evidence and highlight the areas we are not positive about. I loved your segments on drumlins. There is a huge story here that is only beginning to unfold. It is an exciting time to be interested in such things.

I've always wondered how dating worked during the ice age. I didn't know we knew enough about the subject for 90 minutes, but hey, I'm down to learn how to pick up some Pleistocene babes.

Thank you professor Nick ♥️🕊

Thank you professor. Very informative AND entertaining.

Let's see, always be thoughtful, honest, and ALWAYS get the check when dating the Ice Age Floods.

I am watching this again again after Watching Jerome’s Lectures at CWU

Wonderful to see some great work how these floods and other are worked out. Thank you for the video Nick. :)

If they also tested the age of the quartz from inside the same boulders, and the inner quartz returned an age of zero, that would be far more convincing. Instead we are left wondering if there were any “daughter” elements in the quartz when it was formed.

Well... civilization didn't just spring up overnight. It took tens of thousands of years of developing the skills necessary to achieve it. Passing information from one generation to the next is chief among them. Almost every culture on the planet has ancient tales of giant floods.

Thanks for the effort. You are a great educator.

That flood sequencing makes more sense. I've been watching lava and that's how it flows, er, floods. 😉 As always very interesting and enjoyable presentation. 👍

Well.. PBS ran a special on earliest footprints discovered in New Mexico at the White Sand National Monument a few weeks ago. They were dated between 21 and 23 thousand years ago. If the bearing straight migration theory is valid you can be certain people lived in Washington state before they got to New Mexico. Even if you believe the people came form South America I think it's pretty safe to assume they would make it from New Mexico to Washington State in 6 to 8 thousand years to witness the floods.

Love the part where he talks about the OSL dating and shows wonderful humility.

The Clovis baby of Montana lived 12,000 years ago. It is thought that much of the Clovis Culture was wiped out by floods.

Interesting lectures, I've enjoyed listening to them and learning something about how this planet has evolved.... Now, can they be retold at the "Creationist" point of history???

My dumb a$$ started pondering "dating in the ice age floods"

I have a question for you. In glacier lakes like Lake Louise in Alberta, why doesn't the "glacier flour" settle to the bottom?

I have always liked geology at a ground level education. but being in NW Ohio and finding a fist sized lava bomb. only adds to the questions what Volcano blew chunks that ended in Ohio?

Thank You Nick. I wonder if the floods coming out of the Okanogan lobe were giant glacial outburst floods. Moses Coulee looks like it is situated near the terminus of the ice sheet. Any evidence to support this claim?

The rhythmites can be explained. We know that the Wallula Gap was the bottleneck. We know that large ice masses escaped through Wallula Gap carrying huge erratics. But they didn't pass through the Gap simultaneously. From time to time the Gap was largely plugged, which slowed the velocity of Lake Lewis drainage and allowed Slackwater sediment deposition. When the ice plugs shifted, the drainage increased, which allowed other ice masses to fill the holes again. And again. And again. Each time the Wallula Gap ice plug re-established itself, a new rhythmite was laid down. It was not a "new" flood emanating from the glacial lakes; instead it was the Wallula Gap ice dam reorganizing itself as it tried to pass through the bottleneck.

Where did the Columbia River flow before the Wallulu Gap was created?

Hey, everybody!!! Nick is doing a livestream tomorrow, New Year's Eve, at 12 pm his time!!! Pass it on!

I'm going to buy you a new sound system. The microphone and amp do not do you justice my friend. Love always, your friend forever, Gerald Stahlman

Is Nick old enough to date Ice Age Floods?

I dated an ice age flood once, but it turned out to be a drip.......

Shouldn't there be mammoths in the flood water?

I can't help but think, we are always losing water overall.

OMG is this a Ice Age Dating Site ?

I would prefer have a date with a nice person or even one of my kids or siblings. Dad was a great date for supper. Mother was a great date for a good movie or church. We were never late. But dating ice in any age sounds like a boring date choice.

Can the CRB lava floods be considered a trap or traps?

I asked them out but got a cold shoulder

I thought this was about the Craters of the Moon.

I dated an ice age flood once - was dam nice. Unfortunately it destroyed everything.

I can't date them. I'm married already.

I totally misread this.

I prefer dating women but you do you

💖

Haha!! When I first glanced at KZfaq I thought…What?? Dating an Ice Age? How does that work?? Obviously you don’t take an ice age on a date to a hot spa day😅😅😅 Maybe an ice skating date? Well Nick this would be an interesting class….. just saying….

An Ice Age walked into a bar...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, not dating in the ice age

I've had colder dating worth a study.

What caused the melt. It was not man10,000 years ago. These have happened more that one time long before man.

I'm just here to say that I thought this video was gonna be about dating (as in, "going out with") literal floods. Just goes to show how ridiculous KZfaq titles have gotten, that I expect someone just dating water for content

I was dating an Ice Age Flood but she's a hard girl to please....

Interesting question. Can you imagine witnessing that? Well, you had to be in the right place.

I'm not a geologist, but I suggest a 'slow leak' for the small layers.

Why would you want to date a flood?

Why did my brain read “ dating ice age girlfriend “?

Not my best relationship. It was totally ruined by warming.

12,500

This is called Jökulhlaup still happening in Iceland

Gilgamesh??

The one thing they never talk about is when the Ice Age actually started ? They all try to predict when it ended. The sun is on a 12,068 yr NOVA cycle and the Pole shifts on an cycle also, but when they both happen at the same time then that is when everything changes due to Gamma Rays, Cosmic and Ultra Violet Radiation, including Evolution, on planet earth.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. 3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. (John 1:1-3)

Any correlation to Noah’s ark flood in Bible?

I see no way a dam made of ice could hold back that much water. I believe Randall Carlson's study that the ice dam is an impossibility with that much water behind it.

I wouldn’t recommend dating the ice age floods She’s very cold hearted

This is the same posting from Apr, 2 2018. Are you going to re-post this in 2022? ...Thumbs Down.

Mark Wage, Wage's World. 😎

Not mysterious Nick....called the Genesis Flood....Of course Montana and the Clark Fork had to be the water source? Not a chance, you guys bought into Bretz theory of the water source and haven't turned over a rock since. You guys bought into no chance of a bigger event. Bonneville, Grand Canyon, Missoula, etc etc around the world were one event. If it happened thousands and thousands of years ago the ripples at Crescent Bar and Camas Prairie would be long gone from erosion. Genesis Flood.

And it is happening again just like it does every time the earth cools

WE HAVE THE GENEOLOGY FROM THE VERY FIRST MAN AND WOMAN BUILT, ALL OF THE WAY UP TIL 2000 YEARS AGO - AND THUS WE HAVE THE GENEOLOGY GOING ALL OF THE WAY BACK TO THE POLE REVERSAL EVENTS CAUSED BY ATLANTIS, AND THEN BABEL , ( WHEN THE EARTH REPOPULATED FROM THE FLOOD THAT SUNK ATLANTIS).. The pole reversal/magnetic fields and pressure reset event that babel caused, caused the mud floods, sea level rise, continent split, and the big ice age . About 4000 years ago.

Genesis chapters 6-9 gives you the correct answers

Nice way to try and tie into climate change. Problem when start with narrative and fill in guesses to justify
