Geology of Eastern Canada and the Eastern United States
Presented by - Mike Adler,
Geologists of Jackson Hole
This talk will be about the shared formation and geology of eastern Canada and the United States, which will be illustrated by pictures from the speaker’s 20 plus trips by sailboat and kayak to northeast Canada. The talk will begin with a discussion of the geology and formation of northeast Canada and the US focusing on the period starting in the Ordovician(475MYA) when the Iapetus ocean collapsed and there was a collision of the North American, European, and eventually African plates - which were then all part of the last “super continent” of Pangea. The result of this plate-plate collision was the formation of the Laurentian and Appalachian mountains in North American and the Caledonian mountains in Europe.

I flew over this area in an Air France jet which had Google Earth on the TV monitors. Perfectly clear day, 100 mile visibility. I could watch from my window while zooming to earth with Google Earth. Truly amazing modern day ability. Made me want to know much more about what brought about these land forms. Now thanks to you I've completed the picture of what I was seeing and learned so very much about the geology of Eastern North America. Great presentation!
Completely blown away by the photographs and how they combine beauty and geology. I really enjoyed this presentation.
Great presentation Mike. Crazy coincidence, I worked in the Electronics lab at CRD and remember you from your years there although I don't think we ever met per se. I started out with Don Puckette's group. Now, in retirement I live in Nova Scotia and as I continue to enjoy learning I've been exploring the geology of the area and happened on this video. I really enjoyed your video both for geology and your awesome pictures and experiences in this area. All the best to you and your family and I hope you're continuing to enjoy your passions.
Wow, what an incredible upload. It’s just amazing, especially that cow head mountain. Awesome. And the Polar bear, blimey.........but glad you didn’t have to use the rifle. Love and respect from the UK.
A great adventure and amazing experience where geology is seen as it is and as it shaped culture... and then this is where geology is so "exposed"... as if we were out in Arizona or Nevada... and.. I remember the 70s... it was OUR time... So many of us wanted to do something interesting, different... breaking the paradigm... You did just that... Bravo
What an extraordinary adventure! Thank you for the photos and the geology info.
I loved all of this. Thanks for sharing
Wonderful program I just moved to a mountain home in Nova Scotia
Clicked on this video not knowing it was going to be about my home! You are a mad man for kayaking all that distance
Wow! Great pics of New Foundland and nice stories of some awesome adventures. Thanks for the geology lessons too. Also hi to Mike and Virginia from Niskayuna!
I went down the entire South Fork of the Flathead River by Grumman canoe to Hungry Horse and we never took a gun, either. Met Mr. Bear at Big Salmon Lake, but he was casual.
So interesting! I'd love to visit one day. Thanks for sharing!
Magnificent geology and landscape.
excellent. thank you for posting
Awesome information!
Wonderful video. Geology is one of my passions. Now I have a much better idea about this part of the Canadian Shield.
I've seen the Chineese Wall in the Bob Marshall, but I cannot think of any one walking that ridge. Probably been done a few times by now.
this is actually a really good talk... thanks...
I live in Schenectady county !! And worked in Nisky for 13 yrs. I once kayaked under the cliffs at Rexford. Pretty damn deep, plus a few hundred feet of sediment. very interesting.
Greetings from the BIG SKY.
Interesting. I "boated" off the coast of NF in the 80s drilling on a semi submersible a couple hundred Km east. Loved the country, but not an igneous/metamorphic fan. Still, I was interested in that geology (I'm a geologist). Not much of that in your talk but impressive pics.
I learned a great deal about rope climbing at Colorado College from experiences in the Garden of the Gods. But, when I got down to the quick, I sure thought climbing any mountain for any reason other than survival was dumb. Maybe fishing and hunting would be a driver, too.
Fascinante aventura geológica, principalmente ver la variedad de rocas de la corteza oceánica y del continente en varias edades principalmente antiguas y la hazaña con la navegación en el mar para entrar a varias bahías, felicidades por la aportación, reciba un buen saludo desde México DF.
Thank you
Most enjoyable for this earth scientist.
Watching this two years later because I’m pretty sure New Hampshire where i live is just above a sleeping giant and were all gonna be dust soon so at least I can learn some cool stuff until then
Really lovely geology and astonishing field trip to those remote mountains! I have a question regarding your presentation: I thought the Appalachian Mountains were formed during the Variscan orogeny, not the Caledonian?
Greetings from the BIG SKY. again. Guess I need 2 sessions to burn this into my brain.
Not much talk of Labrador geology, more talk of a trekking trip about Labrador, Labrador has some of the youngest rock also too you know, in the Kiapokok domain and Makkovik domain below the Nain province domain... anyway half of Labradors geology completely ignored. Kiapokok and Makkovik domain shaped like 2 pizza slices too with similar geology extended in Greenland. A bit disappointed but good video. Thumbs up
canada is like dream of geology fans

Standing at McDonald's Ranch in Oregon, a petrified wood collecting site, as I looked off into the distance and seeing 7 different Cascade Range volcanoes was a highlight in my life. The pacific northwest is amazing on so many levels from what is there to the ongoing processes to the geological history of this region.

Thanks for sharing! Amazing trip and photos. For future videos, it's now more appropriate to refer to locals of the area as Inuit. "Eskimo" is an outdated and derogatory word.

Thanks for mentioning it, I noticed too and it caught my ear, like a disk scratching, or mic feedback... cringey.

Highest point in eastern mainland Canada. Ellesmere and Baffin Island have higher mountains.
Did you find any gemstone materials? Or quartz crystals? Fluorite maybe? No? Aquamarine maybe? 😆 lol damnit I need minerals! Lol
Love this! I lived in Labrador for three years - such a beautiful place. BTW, it is Inuit, not Eskimo.
