Great video. Where can we buy the sorting sieves please?

It takes time for nature to evolve....do you really think that fish won't adjust to a NEW food source. Nature works....just not on man's micro time scale. Notice the ratio of Mysis shrimp compared to their prey in the net....Looks like the other species are not in danger of being over hunted....

A subterranean profile, w/basin, very much like a miniature ocean!

Hmm, NO mention of the vast Caldor Conflagration, a few years past, that JUMPED THE CREST, around Echo Summit, passing through and OVER Christmas Valley, with sporadic spots occurring in the Great Basin, well to the East? Besides jumping the Crest, another rare occurrence was this fire burning into timberline/krummholz forest!

If tsunamis and seiches like that, or greater happened today, Truckee and Reno might be catastrophically damaged/obliterated, with Donner Lake temporarily storing some of the seiche "sidewash". Maybe some of the seiche would come awfully close to Carson City! And for a few decades, Pyramid Lake's salt content would drop, slowly inching its way back up

Global Warming, not CLIMATE CHANGE, AL GORE needs more money

Why do they keep doing this? Tahoe had native trout

It is obvious that Lake Tahoe in not part of the Sierra. Its a more westerly Carson Valley with a smaller rain shadow hence big blue. The Sierra crest is west of the lake, its easy to follow on a map.

So cool. Thanks UCD.

I loved this presentation! Thank you for giving a thorough introduction to the geological history of the Tahoe Basin. I'm hoping it will give me 'geological eyes' when I'm seeing this landscape for the first time.

One of the best Lake Tahoe videos I’ve seen!

Yeah no one should have a house there. Local and foreign people have slowly been killing this place

Geology of the lake is in Great Basin, surface maps Sierra Nevada.

Most of the Tahoe clear-cut old growth trees(believe it or not) are in the mines beneath Virginia City. That is how vast the network of tunnels are. Difficult to wrap your mind around that. Criminal.

Lake Tahoe:

I would think that any smoke event that the basin sees, that these particles whether they fall on the high altitude watersheds or the shoreline, that a certain percentage will make it into the lake. Alex mentioned that TERC studies the forests surrounding the lake. Does TERC have data on what these ash particles carried by smoke events consist of chemical wise, and does TERC compare particle samples taken from the lake see any data that matches? So say a sample taken from 7500 ft and one taken directly out of the lake, are they chemically the same? I would think so, and the particles taken out of the lake directly in front of a stream I would think would also match up in high volumes. Also Alex mentioned TERC trying to understand how particles in the lake bond together and possibly sink to the bottom. Have the chemical make up of these particles changed, do they have different substances attached to them that allow them to bond together in greater quantities creating a much bigger particle? How much impact do the dead and dying trees with their decay entering the lake have? Does this increase algae, and if so, what type? How do prescribed burns to thin the forest immediately above the lake contribute to particles entering the lake? Thanks for reading!

climate change, what a JOKE

Tahoe is deeper than all the great lakes.

Gentrification and big money have ruined this country.

That's pretty neat!

Went to Fallen Leaf Lake every summer in the 70s. Loved it. Awesome❤🎉😊

Since kokanee feed at night, why don't they eat the shrimp?

Any word on the to recent report of a visiting dog passing on south shore from ingesting algae bloom July '24?

Enjoyable commentary. Thank you.

Let’s just all kill ourselves so the planet feels better

Educational and informative albeit a bit condescending.

UC Davis needs to do the same movie but on pyramid lake that lake is mysterious and yet remnants of ancient lake lahontan.

I DID NOT NOTICE ANY BODIES. ARE YOU SAYING THE LAKE IS CLEAR OF DEAD BODIES?

The coldness of the water there should be a sign to humans to stay away.

Such a beautiful state ruined by filth

Climate change fluctuates for 10000 years

I just want to know why they named a lake after a suv, seems kinda tacky

Holy fuck just show the lake clown one minute of my life gone to waste I should waste you

Whereabouts if Fredo in that map?

This is why I love internet, learning things guys.

I think I saw Fredo.

S+ tier content

Please do one of these on crater lake

I lived in Incline Village and King's Beach from 1984 to 1990 and my job required me to travel around the lake daily. It was the most beautiful and sometimes magical time of my life through Winter snowstorms and sparkling Summer days that felt like they would never end. (: Thank You Lake Tahoe

Thank you -- very informative. General question: Why do all these presentations always have to have added sounds (peculiar "tuneless music" and other odd/strange sounds that one wouldn't hear in a day-to-day setting). None of it really makes any sense and is arguably disruptive to anyone tying to listen to what the narrator is discussing. It's akin to attending a lecture and the professor has someone playing "tuneless music" and other odd sounds that come and go seemingly at will. It truly is all quite odd.

if that scale of landslide happened again, all those richie rich lagoon mansions; GONE...the Casino strip: GONE... lower Truckee: GONE... even in the penthouse suite of the mont bleu hotel... the 300 ft high tsunami is going to top that by at least 150ft: GONE

Last summer there were two bear cubs and their mother swimming at the beach by Camp Rich. They got too close so a 5' human mother of two scared them away with her impression of a Maori Warrior. That night the trio tried to get into our bear locker but left empty pawed while we took pictures.

Compared to earthquakes and trauma is man is just a micro dent in time.

Just curious- has any scientist ever said about any fault line anywhere: “This fault line isn’t due for another quake.”?

I lived on south shore for 6 years and even as I am literally looking at the sun setting at my birthplace on the Puget Sound, I find myself feeling nostalgic.

Ohh gawd here we go again with just over 120 years of official weather record keeping ..."Muh cLiMaTe cHaNgE" bc "gLoBaL wArMiNg" was proved a Propaganda Farce. Our medical 'experts' 200 years ago thought bloodletting w leaches would cure your blood also. Thats how George Washington died. Thats how year 2200 science is gonna see this crutch joke in a couple centuries

Meteorite impact crater, 100,000 years ago

Visited Lake Tahoe a a few decades ago. I didn't know at the time its geological significance. Thank you for this education.

This was fascinating, thank you for all the work put in.

Another great video ruined by annoying music...
