What a legend, Brian Atwater, retired and now working on glacial geomorphology in his spare time.

Just imagine being a young geologist assigned to help him on a project. Wow. This is a wonderful video that truly needs to be preserved.

All you geology fans...I am watching all the A to Z episodes again and I am getting so much more the second time around!

WOW, I could watch Brian go on and on, he seems so excited he jumps around looking for the next clue postulating how the puzzle pieces could fit together. Thank you Nick, thank you Brian!

Still a kid at 70! What a guy!

“No, we both have old knees. We’ll need those knees to get back.” Ha!

This is all amazing insight; geologist-to-geologist banter. This is gold, seeing how much they both enjoy their profession.

Thank you for sharing this outing and BIG THANK YOU to Mr. Atwater for giving more clues to what HE see's when looking at a lake shore deposit. Most interesting! Thanks Nick

Brian's like a kid in a candy shop. He clearly enjoys what he's doing.

The biggest take away from the class today is the power of observation, GREAT WORK

I sure hope we get to see more videos of Nick and Brian together like this! That was excellent!! Thank you so much for this!

Blows my mind on how complicated ice age deposits are!

Thank you Nick.Thank you Brian.A beautiful day in the sage....with water and ROCKS.....

Brian Atwater Is The Reason I Was Having Field Trips Through The Columbia River Gorge In High School... Observing Destruction & Construction Of Layers, Post Tsunami & Ongoing Uplift Speculations. My Teacher Was Amazing. Geology Is Amazing.

Dr. Atwater is a genius! Every geology student taking a class that involves field study should watch this. Thank you Brian and Nick!!

An hour of bliss!

What an irrepressible soul! You can’t fake that kind of passion. What a treasure of a human! Thanks Nick for sharing him with us.

Wow! Nick, you are in rarified company!

Wonderful experience for us! Thanks.

Washington state is so beautiful.
