Ancient Rivers of the Pacific Northwest

Ok, I was supposed to catch a nap after haven’t been able to sleep last night, searched for a documentary to sleep to, and this thing popped up. It’s been an hour, I can’t sleep and I am hooked listening to geology lecture about rivers I did not even knew the names of. Sir you are a phenomenal professor and story teller. The students are blessed, I wish I had STEM professors like you in my college days. Pure class.

Just another positive comment about your lectures. As a blue collar truck driver. That area of the country is some if not the absolute most beautiful portions of our country that I have seen. And as a uneducated rock hound since I was a kid coming home with pockets full of rocks. And even now I make it a priority to stop in every state and pick out rocks for my daughters on every trip. It’s nice to have the ability to watch your lectures and actually be able to understand and learn from them. You can tell that you love what you do. It shows in your enthusiasm. Thank you. Truly. Thank you.

Nick, I have said that you have "told" me about plate tectonics, that Yellowstone last blew up in Idaho, and that it is over a "hot spot" just like the Hawaiian Islands and other stuff. Now you are going to know a little about me if you read this. I want to thank you for teaching me as well as the people that come to your lectures. I live in Auburn, WA, and I am 65 years old as of January 3rd, 2023.

This guy makes me nostalgic for school and university.

I wish you were my teacher when I was in school I would have been eager to learn !!! The world definitely needs more teachers like you !!

Thanks to Nick's lectures, I am probably going back to school and changing my major from engineering to geology or geomorphology.

If you had told me, two years ago, that I would get hooked on a series of videos of a guy standing in front of a chalk board and talking about rock, I'd have told you that you had rocks in your head.

It is the mark of the true teacher that he imparts his love for his subject along with his knowledge. Thank you, Nick.

I am 72 years Austrian, and I enjoy your lessons thank you for all interesting stories, I am fascinated...

[Cebuana]

I don't live in America but your lectures made me more interested in geology than when I was a student in the 70s. Rocks and fossils fascinate me. Thank you professor Zentner for making the subject easier to digest and more interesting.

What a great presenter! Such fun to learn. Thanks for sharing.

I love how this guy has too much class to laugh at his own jokes. A dynamic and inspiring teacher. But I have to put in a word for the camera operator. Professor Zentner makes you work pretty hard, keeping him in frame... and you're doing a great job.

I currently live in Minnesota but was born in Yakima. This geographical history is amazing. This teacher was born to do this job. He is amazing!

Learning is easy when a teacher is this passionate.
Take it or leave it, prove me wrong or respect my place on the data chain...
We are all in this together.

I am closer to the headwaters of the Columbia River, in Canada right now, (Revelstoke). I was looking up the birds, and wetlands, and stumbled upon these videos. How informative and enlightening. I love rivers, rocks, streams, volcanos, and ancient history. Just great. Thank you so much!

The world needs more educators like him! Loved the few classes I had with him at CWU, and his lectures posted to YouTube.

I love people who are passionate about rock talk. I had a great geology teacher at Spokane Community College 15 years ago, Andy Buddington. I thought I'd hate the class but ended up really enjoying it. A great teacher makes all the difference. Rocks are history, so fascinating.

[mrsgoyen]

I was not one bit interested in geology. However, Mr. Zentner, you have won me over!!! this was very interesting. My husband and I watched the entire lecture and actually learned something! I love the way you taught!

[suzannemattie]

Wow! So interesting. I never realized growing up what a geologists paradise I grew up in and am sitting right in the middle of!

Nick, I am a Physical Geographer and received my Bachelor's of Science from U of Idaho. I took a lot of geology classes during that time. This is ALL NEW TO ME! IT'S WONDERFUL! You are a magnificent educator! I learned so much in one hr on items that I've wondered about for 25 years. I would love to study from you. Amazing!
