Nick is a national treasure. He's been doing free lectures many times a week since we all got locked down by the government for the pandemic. He does it live and interacts with his "students", answering all their questions. It's pretty amazing that someone like Nick would give his time so freely to us

@@ronaldpoe3305 How would that work? He's paid by the university and takes no money for any of his lectures, etc. His videos aren't monetized. He won't even let his fans set up a gofundme to show their appreciation, saying he makes enough money from his job.

This gentleman is obviously very passionate about his chosen profession. Thanks for sharing.

We really do live in a geologic wonderland. Another excellent video Nick.

Nick is the best!

Thank you, thank you, thank you Nick. At 73, and having taken geology before plate tectonics was taught, I’m learning so much from your segments. Thanks OPB for bringing Nick into our Pacific NW homes.

"Time to evacuate," he said. Hopefully, yes. One thing we learned from Mount St. Helens was "the calm before the storm." It burped and belched for a few weeks, then seemed to stop. But semi-hardened lava was still being forced up, until the pressure finally burst. That's what happened at Krakatoa, and I think that one also had a lateral eruption, similar to Mount St. Helens, that caused the tsunami.

It has been 41 years since the blast.I am glad to see these new pictures. I was there.

I still remember visiting there in 1981. A year after it blew up! Wow!

Nick Zentner is the best! I love learning from him.

He's back, Thanks Nick.

Great job on this, Nick!

Thanks Nick, enjoy your videos!

Nick, I just love all of the content you give us. I watch everything you put out and I still watch you at home. Oh I love you too.

Thanx again professor ♥️

Gorgeous footage of the volcano. It must be both thrilling and scary to be one of the USGS staff up there working on those instruments.

Twelve years after the explosion of Mt. Saint Helens, I was on a business trip that took me down the West Coast with aside trip to Mount Saint Helens. Being from Ohio I was awe struck by the dimensions of the West and amazed at the concept of time that these geological phenomenon encompass.

Thanks for doing these videos.

Ciao! to Nick and the other "Zentnerds" stopping by to watch this.

Nick Zentner's geology lectures are right on par with Jordan Peterson's psychology lectures. Absolutely top notch.

Whoa ... gotta love a science that names their stations after Mexican food ... Thanks Dr. Z ... you are loved ...

I’m a huge fan! Love your videos.

Amazing how the earth recovers.

I like this program Nick, better the. The university ones….excellent speech quality

love these videos, keep it up!

No, Nick, this can't be right... It CAN'T have been FORTY years ago! I was twenty that summer, so that would mean I'm 60 in a few days. And that just can't be so. I may remember president Johnson handing the crown over to the Trickster Nixon, but I refuse to be 60. Nice mountain ya got there, the telephoto shots of the city at the hem of Rainiers beautiful white dress... are breathtaking. Even though I've been there and KNOW the mtn is 30km away!!

Very well done Nick. Like to hear you upbeat and happy as opposed to yelling at muffler boy. I hate muffler boy too. Thanks again from a guy old as gneiss.

I think these volcanologists should be trained in how to fly jetpacks or one-person escape drones, and keep those in their research budgets during on-site or field days, near active volcanoes. It would be cool to have a future radio callout from scientists as they escape the blast zones on Jetpacks while screaming, Vancouver! Vancouver! This Is It... and live to talk about it.

thank you Nick, I have learned more about the American Northwest from your lectures on the rivers as well as Randall Carlson's explanations about the post Ice Age drainage, which I believe complement the drainage dynamic of the area. This type of research on the post Ice Age development of the national rivers in Australia still awaits my eager interest. Your insights and explanations are wonderful and warrant your nation's academic honors

Nick in the fire. Careful old boy. Watch your step.

Why would the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens "take many by surprise"? People here in the NW knew it was coming, just didn't know exactly when. Nice video.

The eruption that happened was quite unexpected in its nature - everyone had expected lava to shoot straight up out of the ground and fall onto the surrounding environment, but in reality, the entire side of the mountain slid off and fell sideways.

I'm wondering if Americans are aware of the recent fatal eruption of Whakaari/White Island volcano in New Zealand? Jaw-dropping visuals here: www.abc.net.au/news/2019-12-12/new-zealand-white-island-volcano-eruption-how-it-unfolded/11789586?nw=0

Why tell stakeholders before the public?

I thought global warming was melting all of the glaciers? How could this glacier be building itself in the middle of a volcano?

New glacier wait a minute lol.

2000 yrs before her80 eruption wow

Collecteen is not a word

I hope you finally given up the billions and millions and zillions of years BS and are starting to realize that catastrophic processes is what we see everyday
