    Nick is a national treasure. He's been doing free lectures many times a week since we all got locked down by the government for the pandemic. He does it live and interacts with his "students", answering all their questions. It's pretty amazing that someone like Nick would give his time so freely to us

      @@ronaldpoe3305 How would that work? He's paid by the university and takes no money for any of his lectures, etc. His videos aren't monetized. He won't even let his fans set up a gofundme to show their appreciation, saying he makes enough money from his job.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you Nick. At 73, and having taken geology before plate tectonics was taught, I’m learning so much from your segments. Thanks OPB for bringing Nick into our Pacific NW homes.

      "Time to evacuate," he said. Hopefully, yes. One thing we learned from Mount St. Helens was "the calm before the storm." It burped and belched for a few weeks, then seemed to stop. But semi-hardened lava was still being forced up, until the pressure finally burst. That's what happened at Krakatoa, and I think that one also had a lateral eruption, similar to Mount St. Helens, that caused the tsunami.

    thank you Nick, I have learned more about the American Northwest from your lectures on the rivers as well as Randall Carlson's explanations about the post Ice Age drainage, which I believe complement the drainage dynamic of the area. This type of research on the post Ice Age development of the national rivers in Australia still awaits my eager interest. Your insights and explanations are wonderful and warrant your nation's academic honors

    I think these volcanologists should be trained in how to fly jetpacks or one-person escape drones, and keep those in their research budgets during on-site or field days, near active volcanoes. It would be cool to have a future radio callout from scientists as they escape the blast zones on Jetpacks while screaming, Vancouver! Vancouver! This Is It... and live to talk about it.

    No, Nick, this can't be right... It CAN'T have been FORTY years ago! I was twenty that summer, so that would mean I'm 60 in a few days. And that just can't be so. I may remember president Johnson handing the crown over to the Trickster Nixon, but I refuse to be 60.

      The eruption that happened was quite unexpected in its nature - everyone had expected lava to shoot straight up out of the ground and fall onto the surrounding environment, but in reality, the entire side of the mountain slid off and fell sideways.
