Nick Zentner truly ROCKS! I love his lectures!

People with a passion for their job do it well. Great teacher

Amen to that...

Yep !!!

100%

Nice to hear. Thanks.

IKR Excellent instructor.

My physiology teacher (different science, but hey) always said the top professors should always be the ones teaching the most junior students. Very rarely is it done that way, but Nick shows how true the comment was.

I just ran across this video (July 2019), I couldn't agree with you more. I'm writing my comment about 15 minutes in and I'm still awake following him and finding his style of interesting. I just wish I could have had teachers like him when I went to school, I probably would have gotten better grades than I did.

John Mallernee my thoughts exactly, very well said! I’m uk based but this subject fascinates me as I have family in Cali

He's amazing

He loves this subject so much it has to come out.

He's live streaming his class now, Feb 2021. Great stuff!

Ditto

Hello Mary

I was going to comment the same thing. I want him to teach me something new every day!

You are undoubtedly very smart, too. I have the lousy short term memory along with the attention problem.

Check out Dr. Daniel Amen in KZfaq. He also wrote a book yrs ago that still stands the test of time by far. It is - Healing ADD and can be found in any library system This book was based on 14,000 of his brain scans at the time.

I totally agree! My only distraction would have been the growing chalk pattern on his pants 😂

The Cascadia Subduction Zone was a sigh above the Cancer Awareness one as l bicycled from Oregon to New York six times. Currently in Australia doing the same thing through Covid over the last two years. I will always try to make a possible future earthquake so we at least plan for it. My Facebook has a picture of the sign along with videos from News stations in both countries. Brent Bundy RideGump is the Facebook tittle

Perhaps your doctor misdiagnosed your condition. 45 years ago they called it boredom, as I too had trouble paying attention. After conditions and teachers were changed my condition mysteriously vanished.

Were you sad first?

Thanks for the nice comments, Elisabeth!

Love you for still researching searching & seeking knowledge & truth, God bless you for that Elisabeth, so little critical thinking going on in our world today. This indeed is refreshing as are the comments!

66 here & me, too!!!

Thank you, Susanne.

Nick Zentner How big will the waves of the tsunami be along the coast of San Francisco

Have not seen detailed projections for Bay Area, Bobby. On KZfaq, there are an excellent simulations of tsunami scenarios in the Pacific. Look at Bay Area in those. Thanks for watching.

One of many factors. Thanks for watching.

YES, it sure does and is what changed our minds about buying family former property on Hood Canal.

Completely agree with you Cousin Maureen, lets see who rips first your NW or ours in New Zealand ..there's a few to choose from.

Thanks for the feedback.

What he said!

Yepp, and lacked a Q&A.

I had a history teacher in college with the same gift And after he told the class about the slave ships he had to dismiss us for the night because everybody was crying. I will never forget that night

@@zapfanzapfan relax

Yep. I was expedition 'wrangler' & got my professor his cores & PhD.......

Oh once I saw give me the video, I could not watch everything he puts up, sometimes multiple times. Dude is so smart and is such a good science communicator

It's geology not science

@@douglasgault5458 your a flat earther aren't ya?

Watch some KZfaq made by Dutchsinse. He is amazingly accurate in predictions how earthquakes are interrelated and where pressure is most likely to be released. Cratons and fracking also contribute to pressure spots

@@Sushi33312 not just fracking. Some earthquakes have been caused by geothermal power plants putting holes in the ground and helping make an earthquake. You never hear about though when it comes to renewable energy. It's just fracking is bad but geothermal is good. What makes me laugh super hard is thinking that europe bans fracking. It makes sense if an area if it increases earthquakes, but some earthquakes might be cheaper then importing energy. Europe now imports natural gas from the US thats been fracked so technically even though europe banned fracking or is against it theyre totally supporting it by importing even more expensive energy.

He is our gift, from Ellensburg USA, via KZfaq, to you!

aquipment...rly?

His clothes washing bill must be immense though!

When you are that good at what you do, like this Prof. Love his teaching: method and contents!

He loves what he does! He makes what he teaches stick!!

@@chrisp4170 Yeah, all that chalk dust.

I had the "honor" as the newest mathematics graduate student to teach the 8a.m. Trig and Analytic Geometry class to between 50 and 100 students. Mondays were so much fun after a weekend of beer and cheer. However, the cheer was missing when I tried to engage them in the lecture. He is amazing! I have never understood the plate structure of the PNW but now I have a pretty decent understanding!

My mouth dropped open almost all the length of this lecture. Native Californian here and lived with earthquakes all my life. Sent it to my son who lives in washugoul Washington…..

I wish my math & Physics professors had 1/10 the skill this guy has as an educator.

I agree Faith, and I am 74! I am relatively new to the NW, 15 years I only learned about the potential for a really big one after I moved to SW Oregon!

Really appreciate your note, Amber. Thanks much.

I appreciate your lecture series and ty for your comment....p.s....you should do more of these, like a vlog...just saying..

Thanks. I have many of these lectures at nickzentner.com Is that the same as a vlog?

Kinda sorta....lol. Thank you for the heads up!!!

The..."Two minute Geology" series....I meant like that.

Oh boy. Good luck out there!

Boooooo... 😝

Probably Donald Trump did it.

@@Jim-de4dj get over it

UT Austin geologist -- Nick lectures just like many of my geo profs back in the 70's. Efficient communicators all. What a genuine old-school pleasure!

My thoughts exactly. Perhaps a future lecture for us all to look forward to? Our daughters both live in BC one in Van the other Nelson. I am highly interested in keeping them both aware of what to expect in their lifetime it looks like. This is the place to go to learn reality.

You know, the New Yorker article also made very little mention of Vancouver or Victoria, leading me to wonder whether they were so much farther north that they wouldn't be affected. Then I looked at a map. Great lecture, though!

Because the audience is in Ellensburg WA, maybe? He has very little time as it is, with all the information that must be presented. Note he didn't mention much about Alaska Either. I lived there 20 yrs and I wasn't offended. Note he also didn't mention the California locations suseptible to waves either. So, it was all about limited time. If he was lecturing in Vanouver BC it would be all about that area.

Geology gets more and more interesting as you find out more

@@amacuro I couldn't agree more, I'm finding out about things I had always wondered about.

And everything he says is proven as fact.

Take a look here----kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h6ekm8hzvrudiKc.html

Every one of Nick's lectures is a "whole other lecture" -- because he doesn't lecture, he _teaches._ No one better. Anywhere.

That's incredibly sad

@@bethewalt7385 Awww, Beth, it's not really sad, because he may have been a farmer or in some livelihood where he had to focus on a narrower intellectual area and is only now able to enjoy the luxury of outside his skill set and learn other things. Who knows perhaps he had a family to provide for or someone with disabilities to encourage? I'm not knocking you, but only thinking a little deeper viewing some of the remarks. Regards...

I agree Glenn. Thanks.

I know he's pretty cool. followed him some. wanna wake up some northwest folks to this. cuz the government isn't letting us know. thanks to u tube for help.

hope we don't loose track of mel's hole cuz he says ellensburg will move

+Rebeca Becerra Thanks Rebeca.

PS Dad earned Teacher of the year for the State of California, three times in those 24 years. I hope you are getting these kinds of accolades!

Thank you, Douglas.

@@Ellensburg44 Have you researched The Pinnacles park near Hollister, Ca.? It's where the San Andreas was discovered. The park is here. There's a volcano that was left behind along the fault down in southern California. It's my favorite local park. There's a tree I've come to like and I recently learned it's the Monterey Cypress. While reading up on it I found it's native (originally) only to Point Lobos near Monterey on the coast. There's another spot that has these trees naturally and that's Point Reyes which is a little spike north of San Francisco on the coast. There's a fault line that connects these two and that's how Point Reyes ended up there. This stuff fascinates me. I wish I had more time to study geology to better understand what I'm seeing when on my hikes. These videos of yours are great. I watched this and the one on the Basalt.

Me two!!! I would have aced his class! He keeps you at your seat! And his energy grabs your attention!!! We definitely need more teachers like him! We are lacking in that department now in our schools! Most of my grandchildren are bored in school! I always ask my Grandchildren what and how is school?.,,,,, Everyone are mostly telling the same, boring and so I’m interested in what they’re teaching! And that’s so sad too me!!! But we really don’t have many good teachers these days, lots of them are just there for a paycheck!!!

Marine biologists tend to smoke menthol cigarettes (all the ones I know do). Unlikely to lure many of them to Monterey Bay.

Thank you.

2021. He has his own channel and uploads new lectures nearly every few days

Thanks Bob.

I’m in the same boat, Arthur, and just recently ran across Nick’s excellent presentations. I agree with everything you’ve said, and wanted you to know. Really good teachers are always as much fun to listen to, as they are for whatever interesting topics they are teaching…but Nick is one of the very best I’ve ever had the fortune to find!☺️

Thanks for watching. All of my stuff is at nickzentner.com .

@@Ellensburg44 ....

Thanks! Nice comment.

one step (course) at a time... I completed my B.A. at age 44 and my M.S. at 53 all while working FT and raising 3 children... it CAN be done if you put your mind to it and persevere.
