- CWU's Nick Zentner from his home in Ellensburg, Washington on Sunday, June 28, 2020 during the global coronavirus pandemic. In the series finale of 'Nick From Home'...Nick discusses Idaho's 'Craters of the Moon' National Monument.
Thank you. I'm a man of few words. Thank you for your passion. In ten years I wish I could be a fly on the wall when Patrick and Evelyn stroll into your classroom.
Thank you again for making lockdown here in the UK much better in so many ways. Have a great break. Saw all 75 and enjoyed every single one. Cheers from Jane.
THESE HAVE BEEN THE BEST THING THAT HAS COME OUT OF THIS WHOLE ORDEAL FOR MANY OF US, THANK YOU!⛏
PLEASE FIND A WAY THAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU TO CONTINUE THEM IN WHATEVER TIME TABLE AND WAY THAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU.
101rotarypower: I wholeheartedly agree! I have been watching every night after my “essential” job & have enjoyed every minute. I got a few coworkers to watch too so we could discuss & joke around.
Ditto
agreed... and he makes learning fun... his presentations in field are outstanding!
Second the motion.
@@RobMacKendrick second that emotion...
My unfinished comment in the chat... "no tissues needed... now THAT"S an exit!"
No words can express the value of what you have given us and done for us... much respect and love, Amigo!!!
NICK, A teacher above and beyond the call of duty. YOU GOTTA LOVE HIM!
Nick, a toast to you, your parents, grandparents, children, students, colleagues, those you love ... and to good health, happiness and a long and loving life. Thank you so much for all you've shared in this series; it fell upon appreciative hearts. Peace.
Suzanne and Ed McKinley, Ice Age Flood Institute members. We've been following you for several (many is it now?) years on PBS and your talk videos, the GSA talk in Seattle and we've even driven over from Olympia a few times to be at some of your lectures. This series is so above and beyond the call of duty and it has lasted for far more sessions than we thought it would in the beginning - and we've seen them all!
It feels like we've just completed a comprehensive course in regional geology and it has been a very fulfilling school term. During "the run" we made day field trips to the Goat Rocks, Tieton Andesite, Yakima River Canyon, Craigs Hill for the St. Helens ash and the Thorp Prairie and now we are seriously considering a second trip to Craters of the Moon this week and to check out those initialed feature locations on your CotM map this morning.
Thanks, so much, for this amazing experience.
I'm on Whidbey Island, every night I have watched at least one sometimes two episodes. Your series has not only taught me so much that I have always wanted to know but brought down my stress level. I do hope you will consider doing more . Stay safe
Now it’s time to watch the reruns until the next regular season begins.
Nick’s backyard antics of lecturing is the old Prairie Home Companion of north western geology! I can’t stop watching them.
Hello Nick. Thank you so much for the series. Me and my wife truly loved every episode. From one janitor to another, here's to you and the community you've created.
Wow what a finale! Thanks Patrick (and your Mother). That brought a tear to my eye. I started watching at about the 10th show and watched three a day until I caught up. I work nights so I couldn’t participate but I still feel like I know you all. Keep up the interest Patrick, you could very well be a geologist on the moon.
This video was fascinating for me because I grew up in Idaho Falls and have been through Craters of the Moon many times. My favorite trip through there was in 1960 at age 10, with my mom, driving in her top down MG convertible at night under a full moon. There was almost no traffic. The highway was narrow, full of potholes, and liberally littered with dead jackrabbits. It felt like we were driving across the moon. - My dad worked out at the AEC reactor site and I remember standing out in the pitch dark dessert at Arco, Idaho, along with all the other AEC workers and their families, waiting to see the town of Arco be lighted up by the world’s first nuclear generated electricity. Everyone cheered and the coyotes began howling from out in the darkness. -. This series has been the highlight of the quarantine. I’d like to see some geology field trips or camp outs organized that you could take us on. I’d gladly pay for such a trip! I’d even help or lead organizing for such a trip. 🙏🏼💕🤩
The book was so special! Wow Patrick's mom excellent job! Thank you as always Nick Zenter. Wish I had been able to see these live.
I saved this ‘last’ episode until I could truly appreciate it... and I do. THANK YOU Patrick and mom for all the hard work compiling our collective journey. I agree that this has been my ‘touchstone’ throughout these many months. We had no clue it would be months, and now, perhaps many more. But I will watch the episodes over and over, and bring them to mind as we travel and camp throughout the PNW. My family will continue to hear me bring up the details and tidbits I have learned. Blessings, all. Be safe.
Wow! What a HUGE effort to make 75 live streams! Educational, entertaining, enjoyable. Thanks Nick.
Thank you for your love of teaching. I never really cared about Geology, however because of you, I can't stop thinking about it and how the earth (Land mass) REALLY came to look like it does now.
Nick, You're truly amazing on so many levels! Cheers from Poland.
OMG. I'm watching this late at night in May, 2021, belly-laughing at the 20th Century Fox theme being sung with tears in my eyes after you paid tribute as you 'danced with those who brung ya' to this place in your life. I have learned SO much from your classes. Bless you and yours.
@Nick I found you late in the series, but I'm just so glad I found you at all in the wild and woolly world of TH-cam! You quickly became a favorite person to watch! Thank you for your series and your efforts to bring Geology to us in such an engaging manner!
Nick- thank you for all of this series. My children (aged 16 and 9) have enjoyed many of the episodes with me. We don't get them live due to time zone magic, but love seeing them when we can. While you're on holiday, we're going to watch the series together from the start as we missed a few early ones. I hope you enjoy your time away and we look forward to more videos from you when you are ready. Take care and stay safe!
Thank you for the wonderful times that you gave us through this stay at home crisis. The book was so beautiful and it brought tears to my eyes because it captured what you gave to us so well. Enjoy your summer and enjoy your freedom from the lockdown, and tell your wife thank you for sharing you with us.
Wow. What an experience. One, I'm guessing, that you couldn't have expected and certainly one we, your tribe, couldn't have anticipated. You gotta love serendipity! Many thanks, Prof Nick. Cheers, Cliff
That book was wonderful. Thanks, All and Patrick, and Nick for sharing!
Began watching your CWU lectures a few years ago; then caught up on your PBS series, then recently enjoyed these backyard geology offerings. I often re-watch favorite CWU episodes. I also watch the related IRIS vids and most of the vids and animations featured in your vids. I've looked forward to these home sessions and look forward to new episodes. Happy vacation and thanks for the good times ! - MST
Because of all the hoopla during Nick from Home live stream's about COTM, and this excellent presentation, I decided to take a day away from Yellowstone yesterday (July 16, 2020) and visit COTM! It was pretty amazing. I hiked about 8 miles through the outdoor portions, and it was like the couple said, you feel transported to a different world! I watched most of this again before going and it really helped me understand what was going on there. Due to COVID-19 stuff, the caves are all closed and the North Crater flow trail is currently closed too due to unsafe conditions. But there was so much to look at. Thanks for doing this Nick, it really helped me out! :-)
My Father was a geologist, He went to the Galapagos in the early 1990s after he retired from Mobil Oil.
I'll add to what many have said. Nick, you've gone above and beyond to inform us and entertain us during these difficult times and you deserve a break. Thank you so much. Look forward to you returning soon.
Thanks much, I too remember the great learning while taking a geology class at ISU. Thanks much for explaining so well what I have wondered for the many years I have lived here.
I LOVE YOU! Very special book! Very special Nick(aka Ned Zinger?) Very special viewers and chat.
Thank you for your time, enthusiasm, and patience! You are a very good teacher and instructor! And I intend to share these videos with my grand children!
Ok, time for reruns for a bit! Glad to do that. I have watched all of your lectures, 2 minute geology, Nick on the Rocks, everything, multiple times. The years have not been kind to my memory so I get to enjoy everything as if fresh info! I would dearly love if you could do a Nick from Home, National Park Series. My lifetime senior pass has not been used for a few years. 😞. Thank you for months of relaxing, education, great interest and refreshing my experiences of growing up in WA, and summer vacations wherein my Mom would pack up a dozen or more kids and take us on road trips. 🧡
Thank you, Nick, for a wonderful series and all the incredible effort you put into your teaching! A toast... 🍷 to you and your family, happy and safe travels to ID -- have a wonderful vacation!!! Looking forward to whatever you bring us next... and, Please, set your YT channel settings so that we get a notice the day before you do a livestream along with the usual email when you've gone live! That way we won't miss anything!
We love you, Nick! 🥰💖😍
Bravo, BRAvo, BRAVO and thank you very much for all the effort you and your family, friends, and colleges put into this series...
Thank you Nick for all your work. Will miss these visits. Have a wonderful summer. Such a very nice book. A nice keepsake of these times.
You are a treasure. In this time of isolation I have very much enjoyed your analysis and good humor. Thank you so much! Stay safe!
Thank you for these livestreams, and all your other lectures on TH-cam. Enjoy your well deserved break, and I'm looking forward to whatever you do next.
That was a most special WRAP. Sweet song too. Love, Brogan from Seattle.
Thank-you Nick. You went above and beyond. It shows your dedication as a Teacher and a Geologist. I have enjoyed watching what live streams I have been able to catch and watching the Videos of the ones I missed. I have also watched many of your older videos. You are a amazing Teacher. If I had had a Teacher like you for Geology, I might very well have become a Geologist. You make things so fun and interesting. I am sure that because of you, there are going to be a few young people who, one day, will become Geologist because of these live streams. Looking forwards to seeing more live stream or videos from you in the future. Have a wonderful vication. Love from Victoria, BC, Canada
Dear Prof. Nick,
Thank you for all your knowledge and experience, passion and commitment, which you have shared with us Zentnerds through these difficult months. And thank you Liz (and Bijou, of course!) for sharing him with us ... you should be very proud of him. And what a great going-away present from Junior Geologist First Class Patrick and his clearly wonderful mum. Shout out to Evelyn (Aged 8+) ... you rock!
From an old fan of your Centre lecture series (can tell you miss the live feedback badly, you old showman, you), from James in Armidale, Australia. Have a great (and SAFE) break.
Great series Professor Nick. We hope to hear more about the new Geology questions you've brought up during your talks and more Native American Geology stories. Maybe you can add a new story to American lore about John Stockton's house. Always fun.
Nick you are the best thing on TH-cam!! I have been able to appreciate you since before the shut down, you have made learning more than educational, you made it fun, real and entertaining, and having been stuck in bed with a knee infection, gone through two surgeries in four months, I am sooooooooo grateful to you and your selflessness, and selfishness. Your humor and tact are so refreshing, No airs put on. Enjoy your time away. I will miss your programs, but intend to watch them over and over again. Stay safe, have a wonderful trip, and THANK YOU for all the time energy and love you have brought to geology.
Probably my favorite personality on TH-cam. I’d love to do a drive from Pateros to Quency and talk about the things we see.
Thank you for taking the time to share your passion for geology. I hope you have a great brake catching up with your family and come back refreshed.
Thanks Nick for all the effort you have put into these 75 episodes- Kathy and I have thoroughly enjoyed everyone (only missed a couple live shows). Your energy and humor sure make learning easy. Enjoy your summer and hopefully we will get more from your TH-cam channel in the future. Hope you enjoy the Driftwood Wine Corks.
I just discovered your lectures. Since reading the John McPhee series of books that wet my appetite for geology, I find your lectures very informative. We love you.
*SENDOFF:* Rest. Decompress. Reconnect with family. We'll see you on the other side. 🖖
@Bob Trenwith No, permit me to clarify. The statement is addressed to Nick, I wish him the best possible vacation, and we eagerly await his return on the "other side" of his well-deserved break, and the emoticon is Spock's "live long and prosper".
Hi from Humble, TX... that book is a wonderful tribute to you and your generosity of spirit and talents. You are a blessing.
I have been a fan even before the pandemic and I have learned a ton. Have a wonderful and well-deserved vacation in Idaho.
POTENTIAL FUTURE TOPIC: More on the Tammany Creek Bar gravel pit on the Snake River where the Missoula Flood silts sit on top of the Bonneville flood gravels; which is near the junction in the river between Lewiston, ID and Clarkston, WA. The photo I have seen is gob-smacking.
A terrific bookend to your at home series!
Outstanding series! thanks for leaving the shows up on You Tube, so I can catch up on the ones I missed. And thanks for counterbalancing 2020 with your humor, generosity and knowledge.
Professor Zentner is a classic. It's comforting to me to put on videos by him and other scientist such as Richard Alley and Carl Sagan. I'm a commercial electrician and have worked in the construction trades most of my life. It's sad the amount of people out there with closed minds. I've worked around them for decades. Martin Luther - author of the ‘Ninety-Five Theses’ in 1517, Founder of the Lutheran Church and of the Protestant Reformation said, “Learn from me, how difficult a thing it is to throw off errors confirmed by the examples of all the world, and which, through long habit, have become a second nature to us.” Daniel J. Boorstin - Author and Historian said, “The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowledge.” It a real comfort to me just hearing Professor Zentners voice. I've listened to many of Proessor Zentners TH-cam presentations many times each. It's a real mental, cloistered, refuge for me to listen to others that love truth and are not afraid of the scientific method, and not afraid to explore the areas where the facts lead us.
Hi nick iv been watching you vids for some time now and enjoy all of them mate. You are a true inspiration in the way you think and speak. Logic and truth are very scarce on earth these days and very underrated so thank you for your contribution to being real and just plain human. I work in the automotive world which has nothing whatsoever to do with geology yet I’m drawn into it from just your tuition. Thanks and all the best for the future from muffler boy Tim in Australia
The book made me tear up too, the way you touch people's lives is amazing and addictive. Your the best Nick and I love watching thank you
Nick, I wish to give you a heartfelt THANK YOU, for doing these past 75 episodes. You did it I know to do something during this pandemic but it has brought geology to more of us and increased our own understanding, and even our own curiosity to learn more. I hope you continue this in some fashion in the future.
A friend turned me on to your channel last night and I was immediately hooked. This morning, at 21:31 into this video, you absolutely won my heart!!!
Been watching you a long time, i loved this backyard stuff. Not watched them all yet, but i will. And that book they sent you is amazing. Thank you
Nick, I was at ISU the same time you attended. I remember Falma, but not the others you mentioned. I still do Buddy’s now and then. Thanks for the Craters presentation.
Thank you Nick for doing this series of videos, it made getting through this down time bearable and left me something to occupy my time and mind with. I look forward to your future videos, until then. God's Blessings to you and yours, stay safe and I'll see you on the other side.
I watched you last year sometime about Lake Missoula. I was looking for Western Montana geology. I have liked your presentation style. If I had known about you last year I would have been a regular. I started working from home for the last 3 months of my working life. I retired right after you did this show. Wife and I took trip through Idaho to see friends. We went to Craters of the Moon. I have always been amazed by the geology of the Western United states. I think I will go back and watch the previous 74 shows! It will take awhile but I will make it my quest! I still love to learn at 66 years old. I started watching your Geology 101 class the other day! Oh yeah, I actually watched the Ice Floods class the other day. I made a comment on that stream.
Keep doing these Nick! They're an excellent piece of inspiration during this whole business.
Thank you so much for all these episodes Prof. Nick 🖖
I missed my calling to study Geology many years ago. I took on Nursing and I have been a Nurse/Midwife for 46 years. But i have never forgotton my love for Geology.
Thank you for this TH-cam, your a ray of light in the teaching field, your talent for inspiring the students and also creating an entertaining learning experience is a true gift. Nice tribute to the long time students as well. Wonderful.
An outstanding series! Thank you Professor Nick for all your content and dedication! It’s given us knowledge and joy! Hope you can squeeze in a few more from time to time! Regards, Jason from Wenatchee
I live on the Big Island, in Volcano. Went to Craters of the Moon last year and by god the similarities are incredible. I studied Volcanology here at UH-Hilo a decade ago. I watch your videos as a wonderful reminder as to why I got into this Science in the first place.
Thank you Nick, damps eye's in the UK.
Thank you again for filling my mind with such wonderful things! We’ll miss you but hope you have a fun and safe vacation!
I love this cats energy . I hope to see him live someday. I'm in vancouver b.c. . Time to visit all the places he talks about.
We're these " from home"
lectures a result of the
COVID pandemic?
It certainly turned
a lot of folks' lives
upside down, also
leading to depression
/anxiety in many...😢.
The isolation and
prohibition of normal
social activities has been so sad...
BUT, as we say,
" It's an I'll wind that
does nobody any good" :
I wonder how many
people all over the world
have discovered
Geology, especially
presented by
Prof' Zentner, with
his clear, amiable,
often humourous
approach. 😊
Even with next-to-no
special knowledge,
there's always some-
thing interesting in
every episode. 😊.
So,did the horrible Covid
actually result in
a valuable development
for Geology potentially
to reach millions of folk,
worldwide ? 😊
With great respect
and huge thanks
from England.
😊🇬🇧💕🇺🇲😊
🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧
PS: I know you are tired and need a break, and I fully understand why you need one, but I do hope you'll get back to doing lectures for us at some point soon. I 'amen' your "got to love it" comment, I want you to know I do love it and I've come to love you!
Thank you so much for your talks. I especially enjoyed the field trips. I wasn't able to watch all the sessions live, but will go back and check out those I missed now while you have a well earned break.
We've been to Yosemite, Grand canyon, Death Valley, Yellowstone and Grand Teton and I said we're done but you've shown that we need to continue, Nick. Damn!
Thanks Nick
For awhile there I was making batches of popcorn to eat as I watched along with your livestreams and then after awhile falling asleep but I always play back what missed. Love learning what I always wanted to know about our Great State of Washington. Thanks again
Doug
Thanks for all the videos Nick, I have learned so much from this most recent series. Ya did us a huge service in a time when we needed.
I always know I'm about to learn interesting things whenever TH-cam notifies me of your latest video. I really appreciate that, thank you Sir! (side note, your ratio of science to personal connection sure means a lot these days, it's appreciated!)
*BREAKING NEWS:* In a surprise move curators from the Smithsonian collected popcorn from a backyard in Ellensburg, WA, for a new exhibit. Neighbors stopped polishing their mufflers for a moment and stared in wonder.
Michael OBrien Ha ha ha. Love it!
Very good!
Hahaha
thank you for the series Nick from home! craters of the Moon is awesome place not far away from Ogden UT Loved the CWU episode on super volcanoes, any videos showing more of the landscape of the crooked River caldera? Have you done any videos of Lake Bonneville or Antelope Island, UT?
Due to a family day out I missed the live lecture on Sunday. Catching up a day late is still a buzz.Nick you are the 'MAN' and thanks for this series of lectures.Have a great summer and looking forward to more in the future.
We need more of your sort, Nick; enthusiastic educators. I just fell, serendipitously on to your lectures, don't always catch on(I'm thicker than Mount Stuart magma) but that looks lovely countryside.
Wow! I was hooked for the duration of the video! Hopefully I can catch the next livestream you do! Thank you Mr Zentner!
Just watched where terrains collide by Chris Yorath wow it was grand. Flew up and saw the ranges to you all there. Amazing.
I give you a big thumbs up, Teaching the youth is a gift.
Looking forward to your return. Having lived and grown up in Washington and Idaho I feel as if I now know more about geology than I ever did in school. Wish I could find someone that would cover where I live now (Utah) as well. Stay safe and healthy.
I’ve been meaning to watch this for a while. Born and raised in IF, graduated from ISU as well (‘83) so thanks for this!
Love the sound of the mourning doves at the beginning! Daniel
just finally saw this EPISODE nick! thank so very kindly, for sharing Patrick's book, with us! so sweet! God IS good!
We would often camp at COTM when traveling to Montana from Nevada thru Twin Falls on the secondary roads. This brings back some wonderful memories!
Thanks for the lessons. Thanks for being you.
That 'my head is the mantle plume' using the white board my have been the best visual aid ever... :) Perfect and easily understood... Well done.. :)
I look forward to your return! That was a nice way to end the series though. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you, and your wife for bringing this tour. Just noticed the Hawaii shirt, enjoy.
I HAVE LOVED ALL THESE AND LEARNED A LOT. YOU DESERVE A BREAK. I HAVE BEEN ON PART TIME DUTIES AT SCHOOL JUST GETTING BACK INTO WORKING A LITTLE MORE AND THESE HAVE SEEN ME THROUGH THIS MADNESS IN SHEFFIELD UK. WHEN YOU RETURN WOULD YOU CONSIDER DOING A MOUNT MAZAMA STREAM?
Hi Nick, Digger Bob here watching. Used to talk with you on Blewett Pass when I was mining up there. Loved your presentation on Mt. Rainier.
Thanks for posting these very informative videos. Great stuff.
If you could do a talk on the geology of Banff over to Drumheller in Alberta, that would be great!
thank you, you are an exceptional educator and i am a huge fan of all of your work
Many, MANY thanks!! I'm a geology nut, and your shows have really built upon my mid-90s college days and grabbed the interest in my *non-science* hubby ♥️♥️
If you need another show idea, how about *How the Lewiston & Clarkston Valley was made*?
Love, Love, love the book!!
I did a homage to the german chocolate cake at a local ham radio 'field day' get together... nice thick layers of chocolate cake..with molten cherrys on the bottom. Would send it your way as a lava and chocolate cake thing, but it would not hold up trying to go cross country.
Just wanted to share this with all the Zentnerds out there: for the past couple years I have been continually compiling a database of earth science videos. Nick has the highest number of videos (more than 2x the next), with 201 videos (avg. running time: 51m34s, total: 172h45m29s!). So if you like this video or his recent 'Nick at Home' series, check out the links to see the rest of his videos: airtable.com/shrjEmxFIxfG3zl5x. And if you are looking for even more earth science videos, the whole DB contains a total of 5,428 videos (total time: 3,977h41m31s). Tons of stuff to absorb, from TV series and films, to university courses, to professional lectures, and more. Link for the whole DB: airtable.com/shrFBKQwGjstk7TVn. (the previous link is just for Nick's videos)
Woah....you've spent a lot time on this valuable resource for all. Thank you!
@@Ellensburg44 Thanks Nick! I literally couldn't have done it without good people like you making this wonderful content available for everyone! I'm just the guy trying to get it all in one place and make it easier for people to keep discovering more. Since you're the single most prolific producer in the whole thing, and your presentation and content are so great, I had to make you your own section. :)
Zentner is doing great work here on YT
Thank You Nick. Our Mother Earth is tremendously fascinating and amazing. Thanks for taking the time to share the idiosyncrasies with everyone during the world wide pandemic. It was a thrill to listen to a person talk about science ... as opposed to the BS that comes out of our presidents mouth. Looking forward to additional videos from you. How about Olympic Mons? Thank you thank you thank you. I raise my glass to you!
wow.!! Love love ur videos.! Love love craters of the moon, gorgeous Yellowstone, mount at helens, mount Rainer too. You rock.! Ur a wonderful excellent Teacher Nick.!! I am learning bout volcanoes, quakes, fault lines. I am not wealthy to visit Hawaii, for the very first time. Truly missed going to craters of the moon.!
Late to the party, but wanted to say thank you, a very sincere thank you. Fan for a while.. cheers! Best of luck going forward.
