Amazing how things have changed. Glacial Lake Missoula. Back yard. German Chocolate cake. Now very interesting people of CWU. You just keep growing Nick.
Hy Nick and welcome Carey to this wonderful and very important lecture on water. long after I drilled for oil and gas in the Rockies, I hired onto a cable drilling rig for water in my home state: just for the fun for such an antique rig. What I was told the water well that people will use comes down from 100 miles away and takes a long time to recharge itself to deliver the water to the suburbs of Minneapolis. They said about 100 years from source to suburbs. The aquifer outside of Denver has dropped from less than 100 ft below ground level down to 400 feet over the years. and not that many years. And I don't think is has the ability to recharge itself. I think it is an antique aquifer. My daughter says the Denver water from the mountain streams and the prairie rain is depleting. My cousin whose house I stayed in overnight in San Francisco told me to use the water sparingly while showering because water use has become a big problem. That was many years ago and I think it is only getting worse there. Here in Minneapolis we get treated river water to use pumped right into our houses from the Mississippi river over in St Paul. Then there is Africa where my petroleum geologist buddy went over there to help them drill for water. Middle east, steps of the Stan countries (Kazakh, Uzbek, Tajik and Afghan). Raphael Pumpelly was told in his 1800's journey from Japan across China and through the Stan region that the Russian geologists had noticed the land rebounding from the glaciers receding and the water levels dropping all over the place because of the ice retreat. I'm glad you are in hydrogeology.
CalTech - the best of the best. Two friends just received their Ph.D’s from there yesterday. Love these excursions into the labs. That lab equipment is insanely expensive.
The advances in technology have opened so many doors to finding out more about the world we live in. A lot of these areas were completely closed to us but now we can explore more component parts of creation in amazing detail. Nick’s walks with other faculty members are unique opportunities to pick their brains and get them talking about their own specialities and interests. Future students are so fortunate to have such high calibre teaching staff who delight in passing on their knowledge. Wonderful videos Nick and such a great idea to show your colleagues to prospective students. 🐻
The more you walk around the campus with your colleagues Nick the more impressed I am of them and the design work of the campus itself. This episode of Walking with Nick brought to you by Vinman's Bakery ! LOL
Pretty darn cool, you guys got all the new toys. And teachers, that let you play with the black boxes. In my line of work, we called the boxes FM the F part rimed with punking and M for magic box. Thank you, Dr. Frankenstein, it's a live! ALL stay safe
Hey, kids need to learn where to dig those wells, and I am sure we need folks to work on geothermal energy as well. Nature is the best for purifying water, and we need to find more ways to do that as well. I'm sure there are kids out there curious how this all works.....Thanks, Nick and Carey for the tour, and even learning to fingerprint water sources!
I did human chemistry tests in my early career in the very early 70s. The hospital ( general and county emergency ) had a set up like that extraction tubing etc that was used to do blood gases. All that tubing etc us hand blown, quite expensive and historic. Screw it the table top so it won't fall. I remember that was a disaster. Now there are fancy new machines to do the same thing. Most of those machines are used in high end medical research labs also
Thank you for your out in the field vids! After you went to Untanum creek area, I checked out the very spot on Washington lidar web page. Very interesting features on the ridge tops right above where you standing!
Hello Nick, How are you sir? Virgil Viereck Jr., from Ferndale Washington. I have a couple pictures of Mt. Baker, & steam coming out of the summit if you’re interested sir. But you probably have the ability to see pictures of Mt. Baker & the summit, live stream every day. If you’re interested Nick, let me know, & I’ll text or email you these pictures. Take care, have a great day, all the best, and God bless. Sincerely, Virgil V. Jr. Ferndale Wa.
17:24 "I don't always get to answer my questions but I get to try" that was amazing
Nick sharing his light with co-workers. Class act Nick!
Dr. Gazis was most impressive! Great to see the tremendous capabilities of the CWU Geology Department !

Okay, this one lit me up; if I were younger.... ! Really inspiring, important capabilities in this department. Wonderful! Thank you so much.
Wow! The clean, dust free, short hike end of analysing our world.

Karl the gadget guy perks up and starts salivating. If I was in school now I would donate organs to get a chance to work with these instruments.
It is great the students have access to such technology and a very competent instructor.
I'd love to play with that lab equipment.
Thank you Professor Zentner
You can name this CWU faculty series " Walking with Nick!" All very interesting interviews with your program faculty 🙂😉

Cool, a new episode of Nick on the Walks.
You got to love it
The study of geology is at the core of it a study of applied chemistry plus a few other things.
we need ground water info/data here in Wonder Valley, California!!!!!
I wonder how the lack of water effects Earthquakes?
She is awesome! Woud love to be of college age, so I could be in her class.
describe hydrogology please. Thx
Hello Nick
Carey's work is interesting, but I think you have to have interest in things you can't see, being at depths.
Nothing better than a lab coat and lab glass...
Hello Nick,
How are you sir? Virgil Viereck Jr., from Ferndale Washington.
I have a couple pictures of Mt. Baker, & steam coming out of the summit if you’re interested sir.
But you probably have the ability to see pictures of Mt. Baker & the summit, live stream every day.
If you’re interested Nick, let me know, & I’ll text or email you these pictures.
Take care, have a great day, all the best, and God bless.
