You Nick Zentner was on fire. Great episode and introductions to all the awesome players you have in upcoming sessions. A lot of hard work put into this stuff. Can’t wait for Saturday morning. :) Shout out to all the Zentnerds out there.

On this day, Nov 6 2024, it was a great soothing moment in time to listen to you. Especially nice to revisit “friends” Mike, Erin, Hannah, and WA cascades geology.

Great Cascadia A to Z kickoff today - colored with community and new science correlations…you gotta love all of this!

[Dragrath]

Note that while the bulk of Siletzia was in the 50's Siletzia magmas and volcanic extend out in time after accretion to the 30's potentially overlapping with the Ohanapecosh based on igneous petrology that is orange with a sustained trickle of blue and green before Siletzia's hot spot magmas went quiet replaced by Camp's adakites in the Yellowstone Hot Spot story.
I can't help but feel that overlap is important to that.

I'm a bit disappointed we will not get the live interaction with the researchers that was the best part of these series for me. I hope you don't abandon those altogether as they shaped the series with the feedback from one leading and influencing the direction going forward.

The thing about the zircons that blows my mind is that they can survive subduction and incorporation into the upper mantle and get brought back up by volcanoes even in the case of volcanoes far from land or active subduction, with ancient Zircons from Hawaii Reunion the Galapagos Rapa Nui millions of years old zircons mixed in with the young stuff some apparently as old as Cambrian age brought up out in the middle of the Pacific. Not as many as the young Zircons but they are crazy durable minerals.

Nick, this is a great plan. You need to build the geologic history of the Cascades from the beginning, before subduction and formation of Cascade Arc volcanoes. It's going to be a great series.

sorry I couldn't catch you live today - I was in class at the Microbiology building on the UW-Madison campus. Studying geology online with you inspired me to start attending classes on campus as a senior guest auditor. So I'll watch in replays when class in person gets in the way of class online! Thank you, Nick!

[xwiick]

Thanks for all the hard work on these videos!

[denisee]

It's so great to be back into another A-Z series! Thanks for what you do!

[jasonhuntley]

Thanks! I’m loving that you got to hang out with Kyle. I ran into him once in Seattle but didn’t talk to him because I don’t want to “bother” celebrities. As a result, karma keeps putting me in contact with celebrities!

I think that the “Decades of Color” are going to be a very useful way of keeping things in context as we move from outcrop to outcrop over the alphabet.

[complimentary_voucher]

Agent Cooper is a fan- that's how you know you've really done a thing, Nick.

[StoicMindproxy]

It's always interesting to hear about stories that are so fresh. Where I am the youngest decades are 165 decades older than the 60's at the bottom of your chart.

[BrandonFox]

This was a fantastic introduction to the new series, Nick. Fantastic episode. I'm two weeks late to the party, coming back from a coastal camping and weather watching trip. I love the format and ideas you have for this series when or if it continues.

I hope to meet yourself, Mike, and Hannah at some point in the near future. I'm in the area and also collaborating with a museum in Kid Valley with deep connections to the 1980 St Helens disaster. You guys will be close by on several occasions and it would be neat if we crossed paths.

In the meantime I genuinely wish you and your family well and a swift and full recovery for Liz. I can't state enough how much of a positive influence you and this community have been. And with all you've given to us I hope we can continue to give back to you all the support we can. Sending all the love. Take care.

Nick, you have become the Gertrude Stein (pun intended!) of the Northwest's first - and only - "Geology Salon." There, in Ellensburg, the Paris of the new art form of communal brain tickling and video enhanced discovery, masterworks addressing new and old mysteries are accreting, erupting, colliding, overriding, intruding, fracturing and metamorphosing knowledge. Bravo!

[kathryncase]

Happy to join this series from Oklahoma, USA.

[sharonseal]

Great start to the new series, and new format! Your contribution as a teacher and educator and host to this community of Geology Enthusiasts has no peer. It will be interesting to follow down the road how many collaborations have been sparked by geologists in your series, and how many new careers will be launched by students inspired by exposure to your content and enthusiasm for the subject. Thanks for all you do!

[yukigatlin]

Nick the match maker! 😉💞 Love the format💛✨I'm excited!!😃 Thank you, Nick, see you on Saturday at 8am Pacific!!

[Sukisunn]

Nick you have a reputation... Cause of the wonderful thoughtful ways you do and have done things. Every lecture is packed with so much good information. And it's done in a very human way. With a little on the rocks zing... And that's your flair you put into your work and play. I am sure the new format will be great.

Objective met ! In SPADES ! I'm primed and anticipating a great A to Z. I can't chat. I must have angered the you tube gods somehow. Or since I signed up for Premium there's some setting I can't find. Anyway, I'll be here most episodes. reed Scott

[jenniferlevine]

I love how you argue with yourself! You are a one of a kind teacher!
