As a Missourian turned British Columbian, this was one of the most fascinating portions of my Fishers degree. The contribution of the Milk and Missouri Rivers' intermingling to Western Canada's fish diversity is fascinating. The further damming and shifting of river systems by glaciation and ice dams can be tracked through the fishs' genetics. Thank you for so clearly explaining this from a geological perspective!

I grew up on a river terrace near the Carpathians where digging down only a couple feet would reveal a thick layer of gravel and smooth boulders but it never crossed my mind that the landscape I'm so familiar with could be the result of ancient glaciers. I'm a forestry major and your videos are my favorite way to learn about geology, thank you!

I also lived a few years in the prairie pot hole region of ND north of the Missouri. Hundreds and hundreds of pot holes with no creeks or rivers to speak of. All the runoff is into the potholes.

What a great lesson by a person who enjoys this line of work and has the biggest smile sharing the geological history of the Missouri River system.

The course of the Ohio River was also reversed during these glacial advances. The Ohio Valley is lined with deep gravel beds filled in from the glacial discharge. Your explanation of the reversal of the Missouri correlates nicely with the Ohio.

This is fascinating stuff! The world is an open book to those who understand it, but no one discipline has the whole picture. Geology, oceanology, hydrology, paleontology, zoology, botany, entomology, anthropology, sociology. It takes all of the sciences to understand it all, so no one person or discipline is able to understand all of it. The sciences as a whole are just beginning to put the peices together to understand how we got to where we are. I guess it will always be an ongoing project. Then the geniuses of the right wing come along, with their bullsh*t and conspiracy theories, and claim all the scientists whoever lived were involved in a vast conspiracy to hide the "truth". That so called "truth" being the existence of aliens, who showed humans how to build civilizations and pyramids. How crazy can people get? But then these are the same people who think Trump is a good guy. They think that in hundreds of years not 1 scientist has leaked the existence of that VAST conspiracy. Neither have any of their assistants, grad students, technicians, their husbands, wives, partners and children, their hair stylists and barbers, their secretaries, typists or clerks, bartenders, auto mechanics, cleaning staff, and none of their friends or family have leaked the secret identity and methods of the plot. NONE of the millions of people who had to know about it over the years have EVER leaked a single detail of that plot! So who the ringleaders and minions are is still a gigantic mystery. This is just hilarious! And the stupidity of it is just astounding! The identities and the details of the plot that involves millions are still a secret because it doesn't exist. The right wingers are bat shit crazy, and they need to be shut down, before they take over control of the education of the children. The beautiful planet we are so lucky to live on won't last another 100 years with Trump and his best buddy Putin calling the shots, and the deluded foot soldiers of the right wing doing their bidding. The importance of people like this guy, this geology teacher, with his exceptionally good teaching skills, cannot be underestimated. He us doing us all a very important service by explaining the history of the land under our feet. I so wish it were up to me to choose the winners of the Pulitzer and Nobel Prizes!

I grew up in the Northern Ohio Valley. The "flats" along the river always intrigued me. I've read a few papers concerning the reversal of the Ohio. It was precipitated by the formation of Lake Monongahela. The glaciers blocked the northern flow, and the lake got deep enough to breach a ridge and started the Ohio flowing south. There is some conflicting information on the exact point that this occurred. There's no research I can find which studies terraces for Lake Monongahela sediments in the area. One paper moved it 10 miles to the north of the earlier papers location based upon the underlying strata. However, from the drainage patterns, I think the older study is correct. I agree; drainage patterns and terraces are the key. @@wowbagger3505

I concur! I understand the hesitancy to use that word, but I understand what is meant by it. The power of the earth and its processes sometimes overwhelms me. There really doesn't exist in English a word that describes that feeling. Or not that I'm aware of. I can well understand why ancient people thought it was a supernatural entity. We should consider ourselves very lucky indeed when we have an opportunity to feel power of nature! Especially because it's being destroyed an an ever accelerating rate! The province of endless beauty due to the huge expenses of wilderness and forests has mowed it all down like a backyard of grass. And the Northern Boreal Forest that once covered the Precambrian Sheild in a huge swath across Canada is no longer what you could call a forest, and hasn't been since before 1982 when I flew over it. I was just stunned to see that all day long as we flew over the northern part of the provinces, there was nothing but a patchwork, as far as the eye could see in every direction. From an average altitude of around 25,000 ft (I don't know what our height actually was), there were only bare spots of clearcut everywhere, interspersed with patches of tress. But a few trees do not make a forest. Nothing bigger than a squirrel can live there, and even the remaining trees aren't likely to last long, ecosystems need a certain size to be sustainable, and the studies that have been done are woefully inaccurate. Polluted and dead rivers cannot feed vegetation, and logging roads snaking everywher bring in more than just bog trucks. Poachers, off road vehicles of all sorts, people who are careless of the land, and land developers looking for lakes they can build around are just part of the damaging numbers of people who invade what once was a beautiful wilderness! And was once a functioning part of the world's environment. The miles and miles on end of logging I witnessed were a shocker, but logging is not the only way that governments allow destruction of our special places. To me the word sacred is not at all out of place. Those places have always been sacred, even when they never saw a human being. They don't need people to be special. And now they are exceedingly rare! Both Canada and Russia, the 2 countries that are blessed with nearly all of the world's Boreal Forest, are tearing it down and the land up at an astounding rate! There exists no way for the rest of the world to stop them, even though the gifts of the forest belong to all of us! How on earth can Canada, which prides itself as being one of the most developed and forward thinking countries, lower itself to the level of Russia, a Banana Republic at the best of times, run by a caveman?! It's a shocking fact that they behave the same way, raping the land and robbing us all of the wilderness that is so precious and all of the species that meant to live there, undisturbed by human greed. An ecosystem and habitat for millions of animals and plants, including deer, elk, moose, sheep, large cats, and wolves, and some that are near extinction. The BC government has chosen to sacrifice the Spotted Owl, and the last remaining stand of old growth forest in western Canada, if not all of Canada. I've always been an atheist, and always will be. But that doesn't mean there is no room for "spiritual" feelings, for lack of a better term, or the recognition of the sacredness of places that have power. On the contrary. We need to use that type of language more and more to refer to the fact that we NEED those places and the effect they have on us. My worship of Nature is no less valid a concept than the fairy tales that other groups tell themselves about the origins of planet Earth. If there was cathedral in any of those areas, for a mile around it there would be no logging of any kind allowed. Those places are SO sacred to me. So I don't apologize for my feelings about them. I do feel the spirits of the places, and science can even explain why, for a good part of it. Science and our feelings are definately not incompatible!

Excellent video Myron! As a resident of West-Central Wisconsin, I recently found out that the mighty Mississippi river changed its course (just a smidge) in my area due to glacial/interglacial cycles. Especially in the area of Trempealeau, WI where the Mississippi & Black River meet. I've always wondered why the area of Perrot State Park (some people call Trempealeau Mountain or Brady's Bluff) was there amidst a huge flat area North and Northeast of it. Apparently before the last glacial cycle, the Mississippi's main channel ran just North of the Bluff/Mountain. But during the end of the last glacial cycle, the river channel became damned and had to find a new path. Which is now just South of the Bluff in its current channel. Also of note, found out that the Black River was also an outflow river for Glacial Lake Wisconsin during the last Glacial Period! Interesting stuff! And thanks for the awesome video! I always get excited when I see you posted a new video!

The river terraces remind me very much of where I grew up in Eastern Oregon near the intersections of the Malheur and Payette rivers with the Snake river. The "heights" around the valley edges were the back-filled earlier river channels. My step-grandfather sold gravel form a gravel pit in the side of one of these steps above his farm. Now I understand how that geology formed. Very cool.

Myron just pointed out the fact that Randall didn’t come up with the theory and that Randall took it to the next level on the size of the floods. When both are true, how is that dismissing it out of hand? I have the feeling that you would have posted something similar to your reply with any answer that Myron gave that didn’t praise Randall. The theory about glaciers trapping melt water followed by catastrophic flooding was proposed by J Harlen Bretz in 1925 and Randall’s interpretation of how large the floods had to be are much larger than what others studying this topic think. Nothing Myron said in his reply was out of order or dismissive, you were predisposed to a negative response so you saw a negative response where there was none. By the way, I am a huge fan of Randall, his Kosmographia, Graham H and many others that look beyond what mainstream science is telling us. I also think that Randall’s views on the flooding are closer to what really happened than what we’re being told. I don’t know much about Myron and have only seen one of his other videos. He might be way off on his view on the Missoula Floods too but either way, you overreacted to his response and make fans of Randall look like overly sensitive idiots.
