When I returned to finish getting a BA in English, I took Geo 101 and desperately wanted to double major... it was such wonderful department. I loved it! Thanks for all this!
I always find it fascinating to discover new features and findings in your own backyard about which you had no idea existed. Even very knowledgeable guys like Nick. I found the method of dating sedimentation absolutely incredible. Why would anyone think of doing that in the first place? Aren’t people wonderfully creative and innovative.
Oh my God! Did she say five and eight year old? That is so amazing! To go on a tsunami study at that age! I was very lucky to go cross country with my parents when I was six and then eight and then 12. My parents are conservative, but they absorb that happy beauty about driving through America and simply checking it out. Road trip. Plus… The last vehicle we had had what was known in the 70s as quadraphonic sound! We are talking Peter Paul and Mary, Barbra Streisand, add the soundtrack to Fiddler on the roof
Thank you Bree and Nick. This was fun and interesting, and I learned even more. I'm sharing it among my younger family and friends.....what great options you all have at CWU.
Thank you for your time, your work, and sharing your knowledge! Nick, you do not need to sell CWU. it sells itself by having staff like Bre Maclnnes, and you of course! ALL stay safe
Thanks, Bre and Nick! Wow--rain and thunder and lightning ⛈ can't stop intrepid geologists! Cool seeing there is even more fun geology really close to campus! Hope the prospective students catch your enthusiasm! I for one will be looking into the equid fossils you guys were discussing. Love hearing stuff about North America's early 🐎horses. Have fun in Alaska, and look forward to hearing what you find out up there. Just stay safe with all those volcanoes 🌋 going off up there! Thanks again, for another fun and insightful video!
Craig's Hill. Is that the one the city water tower sits on? This hill is eroded away in the northeast corner where the former right of way for the Milwaukee Road railroad was. The railroad had three overpasses , bridges over three roads nearby, and they took fill from that very hillside to raise the tracks up and over those roads . The fill is long gone now. The bridges gone, and where they once were is flat land.
Two first rate scientists (not meteorologists), standing under a tree in an electrical storm... Um... Talk about modelling! 😊 Glad you both survived. It's very helpful for prospective students to see what it's like to do active, out-in-the-field research.
If this was filmed Sunday then I probably watched this storm go across you guys from rock n tomahawk. There were a couple dark cells crossing town, luckily we didn’t get hit by the rain, very cool looking from a distance.
Looking at pebble-ball #12:24, you need to create a video as you scrape away the material, maybe with a sonar or laser distance measurement, so you can see the ball in 3D.
Haven't watched it yet but it was that thumbnail of that exposure of those rounded boulders looking like you'd sliced through s Roman road. I just had to click...
If the rain shadow has only been there between 2 million to 4 million years, then the environmental feed back loop would include gradually decreasing rainfall on the East side of the mountains, and increasing rate of evaporation from the basins, and a decreasing loss of surface area of evaporation. This would decrease the snow fall all the way to the rocky Mountains, and thus decrease the rate of formation of mountain glaciers. So the solution is to move water ( Salt Water ) to the existing salty basins to increase the evaporation rate again.

It sounds like the Geology department is excellent. Thank you Bre and Nick awesome interview.
I hope she sees this bro
I love the attitude of the CWU profs. What a wonderful dept.

SO interesting, and what a wonderful asset Ms. McInnes is to the fantastic Geology dept. @ CWU. Thanks much to you both!

❤️ Simply amazing all around thank you. The spontaneous rain storm was so beautiful and I thank you both that was so beautiful

Hy Brea. Nice to see another Geologist talking. Hy Nick. wonderful guests
Thank you Professor Zentner
Great to see you show casing geology teachers Nick.
Bre seemed super excited on the information she's discovering on the hill. I'm sure there are probably more right outside your back yard. Great stuff.

Nice work Dr. Macinnes, have you ever considered a Tsunami A to Z video series? I would watch! (And thanks Nick, too)

“How does Nick know so many cool people?!” Thanks Nick.
This should be a good summer for field work. Lots of rain exposing deposits. Have had uncharacteristc rain in the past 4-5 summers in Eastern WA...

Despite the 'muffler boys' the sound was clear-THX!

Hey Mr Zenter you need to check out the whaleback in Shamokin Pa.
Very green, healthy grass. No drought restrictions. Just a little sidebar. Only brown dead grass here in SoCal and threats from water police.
Hi from the Bitterroot
Cheers!

Is Bre the female Nick??? She's good!

I kept feeling you should have brought her an umbrella. Raining harder, then harder.
