I am a 67 farmer in western Canada( Saskatchewan). I started watching you as my daughter is a geologist in the uranium industry in Northern Saskatchewan. Rocks were just something we had to pick and throw away. She has me looking at them as a great lesson in the history or the world. Not far from us, in Montana, there is a spot where the earth's crust has come to the surface, which she made us go to on a weekend trip. My family tree starts in Scotland so you pull everything together for me.
I am so happy you have made a longer video explaining Lewisian Gneiss Complex. This now means I won’t forget how this beautiful rock formation is formed!
My small garden is awash with rock aggregate and there are so many beautiful pieces. I live in Caithness and am so happy to be able to find out what these rocks are and how they formed. Thank you ❤
I'm nearly 60 and did geology at O and A level in Fleetwood. I lived on the Isle of Lewis for 6 years from 2006 and just love Lewisian Gneiss. Wouldn't you know, but my old geology teacher was living on the island too!! This is a great video, looking forward to the next!
I've been to Lewis twice and each time brought home samples of Gneiss. I love the idea that they are the oldest known rocks in Britain. Looking forward to more videos from this girl.
An informative film that focus on the geology and not on fancy presentation. I like your presentation on whiteboard in a TH-cam film. It slows down the presentation to a speed that helps people to get the interesting parts.
God bless youTH-cam algorithm! I've thought about gneiss quite a bit recently and have never felt I truly understood it - until now! Please do schist and bring out the differences. No script. A real educator
Hi, New subscriber here. I studied geology as part of my Biology/Earth Sciences degree and like you, I love the fact that we have these fantastic rocks in the UK. It made me smile to see I'm not the only person to have shoeboxes labelled like yours. I lived in Puebla, Mexico for a few years and all of these processes are in full swing there. Shallow, violent earthquakes to the west where the oceanic crust is being subducted ( Nazca Plate, I think ) and deeper, les powerful earthquakes as they come further east. There is even a complete reef making up hills which are now several hundred Km from the sea. Then there are hot springs and three volcanoes, one each of Extinct (iztaccihuatl ), Dormant ( Matlalcueye ) and Active ( Popocatepetl ). I hadn't realised until I lived there that active volcanoes can be affected by tidal pulls, just like the sea. If Popo doesn't let off steam with a minor eruption around the full moon in December, there is likely to be a more violent eruption in the coming year or so. There isn't much geology to see because of the frequent ash deposits, except in road cuttings where the ash can be seen at least 20m deep and further east where there are marble and alabaster quarries. All the best, Pete, Cumbria.
went to Lewis a few years ago to go back in time, and made a video, 3 billion years is insane, and up at Durness to see the folded Gneiss on the beach this Xmas - thanks for explaining clearly how that continental collision created those folds. I'm not a geologist, just an enthusiastic film maker- I will send viewers who what a proper geologist to explain thing to you
Lewisian gneiss forms fabulous, varied climbing lines up beautiful cliffs. As you contemplate your mortality clinging to life on tiny holds, it's humbling to realise that you're grasping a rock that's 3.4 million years old...
I've always been interested in the Lewisian Gneiss. I've not been to the Outer Hebrides, but I've seen this Gneiss on the Scottish mainland opposite. But some way from the farthest southern point of the British/Irish Isles, in the Channel Isles, there is also some very old rock, which is gneiss, and I have seen it. If I remember right, it outcrops on southern Alderney, where it forms beautiful cliffs.
I'm visiting Ganghwa Island, South Korea, and researching its history. The island is mostly formed from biotite gneiss and granite gneiss. The many dolmen tombs here are made of both types - massive slabs of it dragged down from the mountains.
When rocks are aged to 3.5 billion years old , what's the granularity of the dating ? Is it plus or minus millions or hundreds of millions of years ? Interesting video , gneiss one .
Brilliant, enjoyed listening to you , although all these geological terms are flying out yer mooth so I hae a job keeping up. You obviously know yer stuff. so I'm looking forward tae the next episode... btw how ia gold made ? Look efter yersell .
I love this! I'm 68 and only now learning about this stuff. Thank you so much. I'll be watching every one you produce - with my granddaughter.
Oh my gosh! It’s Scottish geologist! So glad to see you on TH-cam! And this is such a good video! I can’t wait for the rest of this series 😍 🎉

Enthusiasm overload! Brill.
Do not ever stop doing this. You are brilliant!

Your knowledge and enthusiasm are impressive.
Apart from the very interesting content I could listen to your voice all day I love your accent. I'm a Weegie BTW.

Great video well explained and great learning experience coming awesome work.
Liked and subscribed, thank you Louisa.

On TH-cam, Check out Nick Zentor in Pacific NW of the US and Out There Learning which is NZ field trips.
Simple but effective. Inspire a new generation of geologists.

Very good videao. Thanks.
Goan yirsel, hen! I've known a bit about Lewisiean Gneiss for a long time but your short video explained so much more. I've subscribed.
I really enjoyed this video I can not wait to see what is In store as, the series goes along

Hi Luisa, brilliant to see you here. I really like the longer video, and you can go on my play list. 👍 Gneiss ❤ Lol......Alioban
Brilliant!
Cheers
Nice wan hen 👍

Very nice.
Hi Luisa, Very interesting and well presented too. Thanks for doing this, look forward to the next one!!
All the best from Spain!!
this was great and informative

Ooh, are you taking suggestions for rock of the week?
Here that's braw I love the presentation. I'm in Stirling 😊. I'm quite interested in Geology z also archaeology.

I like your gneiss effort about gneiss from india ..
Every single video with any female...
I'm visiting Ganghwa Island, South Korea, and researching its history. The island is mostly formed from biotite gneiss and granite gneiss. The many dolmen tombs here are made of both types - massive slabs of it dragged down from the mountains.
hen!! Love it.
Braw now at least I know how pronounce gneiss. Cheers.
Im sold im in
Gnoice!
You have a gift for teaching. Thank you so much for this. I did one course of geology 50 years ago!!!! in Aberdeen University. Where did you study?
When rocks are aged to 3.5 billion years old , what's the granularity of the dating ? Is it plus or minus millions or hundreds of millions of years ?
Interesting video , gneiss one .
theres older rock, present as inclusions in the gneiss. you find it in the Assynt area/Moine thrust
Brilliant, enjoyed listening to you , although all these geological terms are flying out yer mooth so I hae a job keeping up. You obviously know yer stuff. so I'm looking forward tae the next episode... btw how ia gold made ?
Look efter yersell .
Dats my rock mum gives it here
So old it has no fossils in it.
Gneiss video
I am not sciency, but I work with sciency people, This is interesting af. my sciency people do Ecology and hydrology.
Gave up counting the number of times she said "like".!
I find your delivery rather chaotic and therefore confusing. Report: must try harder!
Nah. Lots of info, which came across just fine. Besides, she's pregnant.
