On the road to Yellowknife, Alberta-NWT Border, 1 September 2017
This was day six of my road trip from San Diego, California USA to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories in Canada, for the 2017 meeting of the Association of Earth Science Editors (AESE).
The border at the southern ends of the three Canadian Territories is 60 degrees North Latitude. Here on the AB/NT border there is a visitor's centre and territorial park.
The wind noise is distracting, which is why I didn't post the video until 1 January 2022, over four years after the video was shot.
From my home in San Diego to this location I had driven about 2400 miles (3800 kilometres), and 'only' 326 miles (525 km) to The Explorer Hotel in Yellowknife - yay!!!

Day Six of my 12,401-mile driving tour of Canada and the less-metropolitan parts of the eastern USA. My thoughts on online teaching...

This fine video, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1995, is one that I have been showing my geology students at Southwestern, MiraCosta, Miramar and Mesa Community Colleges for years now. It is an excellent introduction to physical geology, especially plate tectonics, I'm uploading it to RUclips because the MiraCosta College DSPS Department was able to get this video closed captioned, a...

This is a description of the last million years of geologic history in the San Diego region, by Dr. Pat Abbott, geology professor emeritus, San Diego State University. He describes sea level changes due to ice ages and tectonic activity along the Rose Canyon fault. Video was made in 2002, copied from VHS to DVD by SDSU, then converted to MPEG and split into 2 parts for RUclips by me.

In October of 2000 I was taking an Extensional Geology class at San Diego State University. My brother-in-law Greg and I attempted to sail his 30-foot Catalina from Harbor Island to the Islas Los Coronados, some 20 miles south in Mexican waters. This is very raw video, originally shot on an analog Sony Handycam, and later captured into a media center PC. For more information, check my "Field Tr...
Great to understand some of the geology that has shaped San Diego. Thanks! 🙂
In 1980 ,GEO 101 @ Grossmont College, I took my one and only course- still have the text. The professor, Shannon O'Dunn was a great instructor. She proposed that the great prevalence of conglomerate in the county, and signs of water erosion on Mt Helix was indicative of great flooding. Makes you wonder...
❤Dick Dale and the Del-Tones( and geology, of course).
Thank you for this upload
I wondered why you can find hand size samples of nearly every rock type in San Diego represented on the slopes of the Soledad. Alluvial fan lifted up.
Phenomenal book! Done right to tell the story!!! Congrats...I dive deep! It was recommended by SIO!!!
Great! thank you.
Born and raised. Could not have grown up in a better place . It’s been a dump since 1988 . I left and every time I come visit I get more sad to see what has happened to the whole state
I remember watching this in a segment featured on kpbs almost 20 year's ago! Time flies! 🤯
I grew up in San Diego County and found this video to be quite interesting. My heyday years were 1968-1975, and I do miss it. ✌️
Exactly parallel to me. Started SDSC in 1966, gradutated SDSU 1972, I was squeezed out of the area in 1981. I did move to where I had a great career, so there's that. Since retirement, I've d lived in Germany. Life's nothing if not weird, man.
Enjoyed this fabulous video today! Not a geologist, but always interested and fascinated by it. And especially by my beloved hometown San Diego. ❤️ Thank you for sharing this video!!
Born & raised, 20yrs great place to visit & have fun if you know where to go? But to many people to live comfortably! Best weather!
Yup, I was squeezed out in 1981 in my early 30s. I miss it, but too many people and too congested for my taste. Much less dense here in Germany where I've lived since retiirement, ironically enough.
Great sedimentary stuff thanks!
"...but thousands of years ago, long before San Diego ever had a name, people still came to this place..." That would likely be a first, then, that a region with such bountiful resources didn't have a name among those who visited it in their cyclic wanderings for subsistence, I'd say.
THe pre-European residents certainly had place-names. Guatay, and Otay, are a couple of names that remain.
These videos is everything I was looking for. Living in San Diego you can tell big body’s of water shifted the terrain and the plates. Especially going into Ramona how did those boulders get up there in the Hills and mountains.
Was the jewel now it's a crowded shithole like everything else in California It was a beautiful place to grow up somewhere around the late 90s early 2000s it turned into a congested aggressive land of assholes and with each passing year it gets more crowded more expensive more hostile more homeless more drug addicts more crazies I never thought I'd want to leave this once beautiful place now it's all I think about. If you have lived here longer than 20 years you know exactly what I'm talking about
What year was this video? 1995 or 1996?
Caption says 2002. Often the early 2000's can be viewed as 90's since technology was really taking off at that time.
@@1customermaniac Thanks!
San Diego was the jewel but no more there's way too many people, The good vibe Is long gone It's very very sad.
That has been my experience too.
Didnt know geology documentaries had such fire sound tracks
Lived here all my life, San Diego has been destroyed by the socialist democrats!! San Diego was once called world's best kept secret, until we were flooded by the filthy socialist democrats.. 💯 true!!
The Earth used to be molten rock. When hasn't it been changing? Climate change is normal. Green new deal is a sham.
What's the group name of that surf music...?
Possibly The Ventures.
Really interesting. Thank you!
They don’t teach this these days
So what bothers me is the fact that when they show the sand come up from the Tijuana River valley to form the Silver Strand, WHY do they show it filling in Spanish Bight and the north edge of North Island? Those areas were not filled in until the aviation era (1930s, 1940s or so). This may lead some to think the shape of our bay was natural, but a LOT of dredging has been done over the past century and a half.

Dave is still working he is our amazing teacher on Canvas. Thank you Dave.
Thanks for the upload! I'm familiar with all branches of science, but I never knew the specifics of the formation of the San Diego area. Thanks again!
This was awesome. Thank you so much for posting it.
Cool, I smoked weed with Pat in the desert back in the day......
Aaaaahhhh, I remember those days. Smoked a couple on Black's Beach too. Sigh.
Really ??? A virtual Paradise ??? I think this video needs a major upgrade in reality.
You most have geological problem on the brain !! Have you been in other countries?
@@Terrifier1984 I'm guessing English isn't your first language, so I'll try and simplify. Although I grew up in the San Diego area, I've lived in many countries. And have I ever lived anywhere else ??? Sure, I presently reside in Scandinavia for the past 15+ years. But now I'm wondering what that has to do with the subject.
I LOVE THIS.... as an adult I love watching this and recalling all the lessons I learned as I was going to school. If course I also love seeing a place I love develop as a land mass and city. San Diego is my heart next to my family.
Deceiving title.
Dr. Pat Abbott, you sir, are a wizard.
More STOLEN LAND by those US Terrorists. It seems the sky is the limit.
They "stole" it from the Mexicans who "stole" it from the Spanish, who "stole" it from the Kumeyaay who "stole" it from the unnamed tribes that lived there before them. That's the way the whole world is. Every square inch of the planet has been "stolen" from whoever was there before.
@@lancelessard2491 That is not excuse to go around the world killing innocent people, robbing them from their land. It's simply Greed and a Terrorist way of life for you lot of Psychpaths.
@@raymundowellington6592 You are just as much a beneficiary of that murder and theft as I am. Nobody's doing that now. You're squawking about something that nobody can do anything about and that nobody had a hand in. To call me names over what someone did centuries ago is just daffed.
@@lancelessard2491 You are a deluded individual finding pretexts for what a single handed race of a miserable economic focused Human Race, best known as AngloSaxon, has been doing before in the past and still upto these days. It´s all about One World Order under the control of a few. Saying I am a beneficiary of your continuous illegal wars where many many innocent citizens die in the process is very rich on your part and also the most hypocritical thing I have ever been called. If something I am guilty of is to be dragged down into this farcical economic world run by criminal organizations under the disguise of governments built upon fraudulent money , lies and terrorism supported by laws made, approved and passed on by them without our consent and direct participation though they pretend we did by having us vote in fixed elections every a set number of years where only a list of the most feasable and powerful economic political candidates are eligible. Therefore I'd rather find alternatives to a more fair and moral world than being put on my knees by the smell of money, criminal laws, arms and a sword if I do not submit to their immoral ways of life of perpetual slavery living in ignorance and accepting whatever these criminal organizations say I should do, hence I do not remember I've ever given written authority to regulate over my Rights and Liberties as if I still were a 5 years old child with no brains. What do you think?
Raymundo Wellington Take your pills Schizo.
Don't blame Saint Andreas. It's not his fault.

Yeah San Diego sucks big time!
Then leave
Sean Munoz Who said he lived there?
I lived in San Diego for over 20 years, great times and some hard and trying times, never thought it sucked though. You must have had a tough time of it, sorry that your experience was so lacking. I've lived all over the world and I still miss San Diego
like he said it was a good place to live UNTILL i found out the mexicans came....
What a jerk you are. That land belonged to Mexians and AmerIndian long before you set foot on it. Go away.
Raymundo Wellington San Diego, along with all of America would not exist without Europeans. Whether that is the catholic Spaniards or the Anglos. The entire "it was our land first" argument is so outdated and stupid.
Raymundo Wellington nice European name. Are you a cultureless colored person or do you just hate your own people?
@@maxsjoberg788 one of the most ignorant comments I've ever heard.
Your comment makes absolutely no sense. There were Mexicans already here long before you. Mexicans didn’t come here after you. Lol.
I'm a native san Diegan but had too leave California because of terrible legislature and everything being overpriced
cool story
I don't blame you, I did the same. There is no other place in America with that weather though.
I'm sorry this happened to you.
Should have applied yourself better at school and got a better job instead of blaming it on others.
My town! My street! Gimme piece of mind, it can't be beat!
Buck o Nine?
@@Hermetic_ yessir!
What ever happened to the SD National Bank building??? I'm just now missing it.
i remember when you were researching the rose canyon fault system. there were markers in the pavement on ardath road i could see every morning when i drove up that road to go to my classes at ucsd. the local news did a report showing that stretch of road and what you were studying.
Mustache game on point
I knew someone had to have beaten me to it.
I thought of a man-made island offshore of Mission Beach for a airport/hotel/fishery, connected to the 8 (road and rail) and via bridges and tunnels to the 52. Based on this video it would need to rise over 400 feet above the water.
you must be a democrat
Just kick the federal government out of Miramar..problem solved
I've been in SoCal all my life and San Diego County since 1967. Fishing on inland lakes, finding sea shells. Rounded rocks on Mira Mesa. 300 foot cliffs. Offshore underwater canyons. This answers some of my questions. I should have gone to college and studied geology.
Very cool. Reading Pats book on SD right now. Nice to have this visual.
Absolutely Fascinating. Thank you !
One of the freshest mustaches in the game.
Hey, good work
such a cool video. i've been looking everywhere for information about specific locations here. not much in-depth analyses like this
