Geology for Mountaineers by Dr Mike Merigliano
Have you ever wondered why some climbing routes are so much more interesting and perhaps safer than others?
People have been climbing mountains long before they started to
understand geology, but some knowledge of how rocks are formed, how they change, and how they react to the environment and ourselves could go a long way to help us climb the long routes without mishap or with more enjoyment.
This presentation will cover geology at various scales, from big
mountain chains to tiny holds, and many things in between.

Plato wrote of the lost civilisation of Atlantis as having fertile productive agricultural land in a large plain surrounded on to the north and east by mountains and a number of climate zones and a tall gas emitting volcanic peak on the norther part which the locals called Mount Atlas and the volcano Mt Pico is believed by researchers to be the same volcano. The people of Atlantis grew bananas, coconuts and bamboo (to feed domestic elephants) at a time when Europe was under an ice sheet and the global CO2 averaged 180 ppm. Researchers believe the tall volcanoes not only sheltered from cold winds coming from Europe but also poured out CO2 to feed the plants. The Gulf stream flowed to the east side of the island producing a warming effect while now it goes to Britain and Norway producing a milder climate that say Newfoundland.

Trev is a genius
Wonderful presentation! I loved the geological tour as well as the anecdotes of a seasoned adventurer/explorer.

Outstanding lecture! Learned quite a bit.
4:45 "How to bring people out of poverty and into civilization" <- dude, you might want to rethink how you present that.
great idea on the student run mine stuff!! Well done.
Odd that you did not color in Beryllium on your periodic table. Or Cesium.
You are completely ignoring the current state of Earth climate. We are currently near the end of the current interglacial (Holocene) and a new Glacial will start plunging the Earth 8 degrees lower than actual (ref: NOAA glaciations cycles). This is what Earth climate has gone through since the start of the Pleistocene. This is relevant to the Earth climate and you cannot talk about the Earth climate without taking into account all the relevant facts! Please, don't be pseudoscientists!
Remember the only carbon that really needs eliminating are we.
"The End of Snow" And the ideologues wonder why they get ridiculed and ignored when it comes to climate science. Overblown, false soundbites like this are utterly unhelpful to the debate. To claim that there will be an "end of snow" for the Tetons is utterly ridiculous. Is it quite possible that there will an end to glaciers in the range? Yes. That is VERY different from an "end of snow" for the range which implies no snow at all falling during the winter. Considering that Jackson itself's climate involves guaranteed snow over the winter and that it is thousands of feet below the crest of the Tetons, the possibility that no snow at all will fall on the top of Grand Teton and the other mountains, even in the most extreme climate change scenario, is so ridiculous that anyone who brings it up immediately discredits themselves.
Pretty sure the phrase is meant to get the attention of the skiers and ski industry. It's one thing for snow to exist, it's another thing for it to exist in quantity and quality for a ski industry.
@@TheDanEdwards quite probably. It's still an utterly ridiculous and false claim to make. It's an absolute claim in the video's title. No qualification. No hedging. Just an absolute statement and assertion.

Humidity will increase the thermal resetvoir. As polar ice melts it is expected to expose bogs that may release methane.😅 Is there a rising temperature that the percent oxygen in the ambient air changes ? I.e. Will himans become extinct ?
Every element in the table is in your eye. The earth is a carcass. It’s all biology. Academia has done the job .
This excellent presentation puts much more than just Greenland in a geologic context; it includes Scotland, Iceland, and other areas.
there's 1200 gigatons of pressurized methane in the world's largest ocean shelf - East Siberian Arctic Shelf - the latest Natalia Shakhova research group study shows the methane is already accelerating into the atmosphere out of ESAS.

Thanks for sharing this. I do have one picky comment, although it did affect my ability to watch: when you keep swaying back and forth, whether shifting your body or camera angle, it starts to make me dizzy and I had to block you out of my view so I could hear what was being said.

Thanks. Brings back memories of my water chemistry days. There is a lot of talk about carbon capture. Too much mechanical and not enough biological thinking. What we need are super bacteria that consume CO2 and methane.
Take good care of your fantasy friend. When they have eaten their way through to 280ppm - they should be stopped.

MNP movement coincides with climate change. Explain? Or at least explain why no scientist mentions it.
What do the models predict since the 1st and subsequent estimates compared to actual data to present? This woukd be an indicator of prediction models temperature future accuracy.
We cant model what is happening. It's never happened before.
@@therealdesidaru 'Modelling' is a future prediction?
@@mykota2417 Modeling means you have something identical or like to cast from. We don't have data showing what will happen with such sudden and spectacular ejections into the atmosphere.
@@therealdesidaruNo. Models are not a collection of past explorated in the future. It is math - e. g. you can modell present time without the extra c02.
@@gehwissen3975 Whatever. No one knows what will happen or what the time scale really looks like. NOAA announced that they can no longer make reliable models for weather outside of TEN HOURS. Ten hours. Ten minutes too late in the case of tornadoes. 24 hours too late in the case of Acapulco. You really want to throw your chickens in with a lot that says what it will be like in 10 years?

Ames Construction is top notch, so this is a plus. Nice to hear the truth about the '20-year drought' and the fact that the past 5 years have, in fact, seen excess moisture. I imagine that plowing the snow onto the slope also contributes to more moisture intrusion. I wonder when the powerlines and maintenance road located 600' north of the slide were installed and if the vibration associated with the foundation construction (pile driving) may have contributed to the slide? Or even the change in water runoff from said construction? Just a thought. Thank you for the presentation!
I love that answer! Great sense of humor!
The Green New Deal is a scam. We need hybrid/nuclear with efficiency and to limit waste.
What an incredibly fascinating, well produced and presented video. I knew a little about the importance of James Hutton in this field and of his ground breaking insight into Siccar Point but I didn't appreciate that so much of Scotland was/is ideally positioned to reveal so many secrets of how the continents were formed. Huge thanks for sharing this and educating us.
Before viewing Dr. Fougle’s presentation, I’ve suspected (despite populist teachings) that there is indeed a Hawaiian mantle plume; however, strong convective mantle upwelling from deep mantle (not a mantle plume, but via spreading centers) is the source of the other Large Igneous Provinces identified as “hot spots.” As enhancement of a relatively small section of a spreading ridge acquires more asthenospheric mantle decompression and heat than the adjacent spreading ridge; MOREOVER, it creates a feedback loop with crustal extension, mounding up faster than it can be conveyed, thus resulting in the 40 km thick crust. Yellowstone is not a mantle plume, it’s an enhanced Spreading/Decompression Center directly related to the adjacent Basin & Range extension, via the continental over-ridden mantle convection upwelling. Yellowstone and the B & R are proof that mantle convective upwelling hasn’t died out over the 50MA since it was over-ridden. @58:00, there is another hypothesis to why the latest Hawaiian super-shield volcanoes have increased in volume by an order of magnitude over the early volcanoes. Instead of increasing the rate of upwelling, the same can be done with decreased rate of plate movement.
Fantastic presentation! Just finished my geology 101 and your presentation solidified most concepts i just learned. Thank you so much!!
Very interesting as I watch this a year later. I always sort of wondered why the Tetons were such a short range, as far as N-S distance goes, yet so high and dramatic. And why they seem to so abruptly end just before Yellowstone. That 30 or 40% of the range got devoured by the YHS seems to make intuitive sense in light of these data and this study. Someone asked where all the material from the old northern end of the Tetons went--did it go to the Snake River Plain, for example? I have always figured that it was melted into the Yellowstone cauldron down in or near the mantle and didn't go anywhere. Is that what most folks think? It was mentioned that because the basement rocks of the Tetons and rhyolites of Yellowstone have essentially the same chemistry, it would be hard to tell one from the other--if I understood the answer. Question: Didn't the YHS also destroy the southern ends of the Lemhi and Lost River Ranges--and probably others--as it buzzsawed its way through Southern Idaho. Some think that those ranges, among others, ran south all the way to existing ranges in Nevada and Utah in the Basin and Range, pre Yellowstone hot spot. Anyway, if so, I don't believe the Southern Lemhis or Lost Rivers are made of the same rock as the Tetons, or at least not all of them--there's a lot of limestones in parts of the Lemhis and Lost Rivers for example, along with slates and preCambiran Belt quartzites--a variety of stuff--but I never hear "granite" mentioned among them. So, if there was anything to find of those southern ranges now missing, would we be able to find evidence anywhere? Difficult I know, as much of the Snake River plain is now covered with much newer basalts from the much more recent rifting fizzures such as Craters of the Moon. But still, I have always wondered whether you could find chuncks of those old mountain ranges embedded in the rhyolites of the older YSP exposures in Idaho. The fact that I have never heard of such a thing, at least yet, suggests to me that the YHS must melt and swallow everything that passes over it into its deep hot cauldron, never to be seen again, at lest in prior form. Another question, or point I am always confused about. What is the relationship, if any, between the "migrating" YHS and Basin and Range extension? Did the B & R extension start before the arrival of the YHS? Or has the eastern boundary of the Basin and Range (i.e. the Tetons and the Wasatch today) always been just south of the YHS? Or is it a mere coincidence that the eastern edge of the Basin and Range and its fault systems going to Southern Utah happen to lie at the same longitude today as the YHS, but haven't in the past and won't in the future? I have assumed that the movement of the YHS is the same speed as that which the North American plate slides west, and that the Great basin expansion is driven by the rifting of the Baja Peninsula away from North American continent, continuing into California and Nevada, whatever speed that is, which means the processes are independent of each other. But are they? I am not a geologist but have read what I can, and what I can digest, for many years now, and this question keeps coming up in my head. Thank you for making these excellent presentations available to us thousands of miles away. I live in Puerto Vallarta Mexico now, at the base of the Sierra Madre del Sur batholith (which I wish I could find any videos or books about, geologically). But I spent part of my youth in the western shadow of the Tetons, on a farm I now learn was part of the Heise caldera of Old Yellowstone. Not many places on earth more breathtaking than the Tetons. Too bad if we lost half of them to Yellowstone's passing!
