Geology of the Mid-Hudson Valley

The geology of New York’s Hudson Valley shaped the way people used the land for generations. DEC educator Audrey Trossen introduces geologic concepts, provides an overview of the geologic history of the mid-Hudson Valley, and explains how this ancient history is linked to our lives today by taking us on a tour of local geologic hotspots.

Presenter is obviously interested in her material - an excellent and interesting presentation. Thank you!

This is excellent. My only complaint is that it should be longer. Presenter did more than a good job. She kept me interested.

Does anyone know where that overlook is at 01:35?

Love hearing about the geology in this area. Please do a program on how the mighty Shawagunks were formed! I believe that geology is different rock from the nearby Catskill range.
Is it true that Schunemunk mountain was a join point for all of the continents? Would love to hear more on this too !

Does anyone have info on the geology of the mountains along I87 between Suffern and Newburgh? I’ve always wondered if the jagged edges and cliffs were formed naturally, or as a result of blasting/excavation - or both. If excavated, I’ve wondered how much of the mountains were blasted, and was it’s purpose to manufacture materials, or just for construction of roads. Another example is Storm King Mountain: the eastern face of the mt facing the Hudson river is super jagged. Was that all blasted?

New York was located below the equator. Interesting. I know they say it was connected to africa at one point.

Your knowledge of the subject matter is excellent. If I may make a suggestion for future presentations, don't slap your leg so much, it's very distracting.
