Mark Zentner is the man who knows a lot about the geology of Washington....very impressive I like watching his videos and live streams......thanks for sharing this video!
Nick Zentner is a geology professor at Eastern Washington University. He has a series of YT videos, 'Nick on the Rocks' short videos as well as complete lectures online.
I live within 3 kilometers of the start of the Mighty Columbia River, coming out of Columbia Lake in British Columbia, it starts out as a river only 10 meters wide and about 1 meter deep, it has been flowing here for what your program says millions of years, I'm happy to live here as these waters fill the dams starting with the Mica Dam in British Columbia.
Well I feel like a real lucky duck to have been able to watch this a few days ago with both Knute and Nick! …if anyone else wants to be a PBS member you could be a lucky duck as well!
This is the "faucet" Trump wants to turn on....drain the Columbia to irrigate the US. Try that and he might just find a wall, called Canada, holding it back.
I would love to know more about the conditions of the region during the Pleistocene and of the other glacial lakes that formed terraces in the northern watersheds and more on the erratics found all over the landscape.
Did Lake Chelan become so deep due to glacial flow only? I think we must apply some Lesemann theory to Chelan and call it a tunnel channel conduit conveying ultra high pressure megajokhulhaups out of the Fraser over Rainy Pass.
Nice! I just toured the upper reaches two weeks ago. I know it’s not in WA, but a history without considering the northern headwaters? Id like to see the whole river history.
I think Nick Zentner says the regions rivers are the oldest landmarks, many going back more like 20 million years: ruclips.net/video/_Hp64tvgCSE/видео.html
Nick AND Knute in a video together? What a joy! Two of my favorite PNW peeps. Great video, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!

People interested in this story have a rich tapestry of information and topics over on Nicks channel to learn about!
Nick is the OG!
Zentnerd 🙋 here. Love❤❤❤❤❤ your summary of the story. Great job👍
If I hadn't recognized Nick Zentner on the hill, I would never have watched this clip! Cascade PBS with Nick Zentner would catch more views.
We have a whole show with him - Nick on the Rocks!
Yeah !!Prof.Nick !!
Great video - really enjoyable! Such a pleasure to see Nick doing what he does so well! Thanks so much.
Darn Idaho lava, it moved our river! Thanks for the vid sir.
I was glued to the screen the entire time! Fantastic job! 👍
Rolllll on Columbia roll on, roll on Columbiaaaa, your power is turning our darkness to dawn, roll on Columbia roll onnnn...

Excellent, thanks
I live in the North Okanogan right on the US/CA border. The Colombia takes that big bend directly south of here, about two hours drive.

The man
Worth a visit
Insane link up
Only thing wrong with this video is it wasn't even close to long enough, I would have enjoyed it even more if it were an hour or two long!
Was sent here by Nick's tweet on X.

Roll on Columbia, roll on.
It would be interesting to compare the Columbia which is dammed and the Fraser river which is not , in life in the water
You missed mentioning the Bonneville dam site landslide that blocked the river also.
Bridge of the gods!

Pend Oreille is a greater source than Lake Columbia I understand.
Nice. But maybe you could explain the curve in the Columbia from Portland to Astoria. Hint, look at the very confused Nehalem River.

Always amusing to watch Americans twist & turn to avoid any mention of outside influences to dent the all America myth.
America is the most powerful nation in the history of money...what " myth" do you refer too ? ...press on comrade - nobody cares
The earth is only 6000 years old, all this happened over that time.
History was erased and we are taught it began 6000 yrs ago. This because if we knew our history we would not comply.
If you know that as fact, why do you bother watching/commenting on geology videos?
@@KSparks80 The geology is still there and very interesting, it is just the stated time frames are wrong.
@@Ilovenetworking Only misses by 4.5 billion years or so.
