- One of the largest waterfalls in the history of Earth happened in Washington state. Three-times the width of Niagara, the volume of the Ice Age falls was 10-times the combined flow of all the rivers on Earth.

Nick rocked at his lecture at Dry Falls April 21 2018.
Glad you could come!
Is this lecture recorded some where? I love Nick's lectures!
I heard that the Missoula Jökulhlaups (catastrophic glacial outburst floods) which created the scoured features of the Channel Scablands were first discovered/formulated by Washington State geologist Harlen Bretz back in 1923, but because he had such a difficult personality coupled with his theory being so far off the accepted paradigms and the Scablands area being so remote... no one in the academic mainstream believed him, ignoring his work until the 1970s. At least his theorem was accepted before his death in 1981.
Fantastic visualization!
Thank you, Gregory!
Absolutely amazing recreation 😮🤯👍
Nick, hello from Republic, WA
I love watching Nick's lectures. Absolutely fascinating, and the passion he brings is so wonderful.
Sounds like Noah's Flood to me.
these snippets ARE TOO SHORT! LOL
It’s difficult to grasp the enormity of this. Fascinating stuff.
I hope that car got away.
This man is a National Treasure. Protect him at all costs. Even though him and Dan Hurd got me and thousand of other people hopelessly addicted to rocks. Now i spend all my free time alone in nature looking for the shiny rock. 🥴
Good fishing in those little lakes at the bottom of the cliffs. And no, this had nothing to do with Noah.
Haha. Thanks. Always see boats on those lakes.
Thats so cool, imagine it mustve been similar to that.

boring
Fascinating stuff. Any chance KCTS will produce longer segments? In the meantime, living vicariously through your other videos!
Thanks much. We just finished Season 2....six more short videos. Just me and another guy - that's all we can handle plus my day job!
Check out new 'Dating the Ice Age Floods' lecture on TH-cam. 90 minutes! Thanks
They never give a source of the water. WHERE did it emanate. This much water, crashing through the land, well it had to come from somewhere. Was there an ancient levee that was holding back a giant lake or sea and it collapsed? They always just say, "an ice age flood." What is the source?
He says - ice dam in Idaho. It was a melt period during the Ice Age - maybe at the end, I don’t recall. A huge glacial lake came pouring out when the dam collapsed.
I happened to catch another vid of his that went into further detail that explained or mentioned that. Interesting. Thank you@@CouchSttr
Can anyone tell me how deep is the plunge pool at Dry Falls - known as Dry Falls lake ?
Is Cosmogenic nuclide a new dating app?
Not sure if Nick will see this, but have you been to Iceland's Ásbyrgi in the northeast of the country? It's an area similar to this (albeit much smaller of course), in the shape of a hoof. The legend has it, that Odin's 8 legged horse Sleipnir, put his foot down here to create this enormous depression. It's clearly one of Iceland's prettiest sites (and we have plenty of them, haha).
This is a public television station’s site. Nick Zentner and the college he teaches at, Central Washington University, each have TH-cam sites. Nick now has at least a couple of hundred videos on his. From shorts like this to over one hour seminars. He also has class lectures he did after the school reopened when Covid restrictions were lowered somewhat. He isn’t a full time field Geologist. He does often record interviews with expert field Geologists. They discuss their current theories. He himself says that some things he taught 20 years ago are no longer valid or are in question.
TH-cam put him as a recommend to me about three years ago. He was giving a public seminar. Had three or four chalkboards on wheels and got to drawing and talking. I was never particularly interested in my country’s geology before. I got hooked on how he presents it. He focuses on our Pacific Northwest and Canada’s British Columbia. The San Andreas fault line that cuts through a good chunk of where I lived for 65 years is tame in comparison. Unless you live in Frisco, Los Angeles, etc.. I suggest everybody avoid them. I went to Frisco once. Wrong day in 1989. I am sure they improved things a lot since then, but they still make mistakes. They now have their own “leaning tower” that dwarfs the one in Pisa, Italy. Very tall glass covered building that subsided too much on one side. I assume all the earthquake technology built into it can not function. Initial efforts to stop the tilt didn’t work. They may have stopped it by now. But then they need to figure out how to straighten it.
Can we get some information on the new technique used by that geologist to date the rocks?
Love your videos Nick!
Geee, you know, after watching all the other videos..
After watching Nick's Downtown series of Classic Talks… and
his World Renowned "2 Minute " talks…. I was starting to have
"Nick Drools" Now I have found more Great Information and food for
the inquisitive mind. When can us
"Wet Sliders" get a chance to hear your intellect???
Ha! See nickzentner.com for upcoming talks on the west side. Hope to see you there.
You a smart nigga Nick
Uh.....thanks?
