    Darn it! I missed the livestream. I totally agree with Shawn: hanging out with this community of truly intelligent and lovely people is everything.
    I have some complicated autoimmune issues that leave me socially isolated for long stretches of time. This channel keeps me from going stir crazy.
    Thanks, Shawn, Susan, Lisa, AmandaJo and everyone on the Team. You rock.
    You see what I did there, right?😉

    I lie the headline for the website "GEOLOGY EXPLAINED WITH SHAWN WILLSEY". Some people would have said "EXPLAINED BY". Your team approach to having your students and viewers as teammates is is to be congratulated. I have always felt the you were talking to us, not at us. Keep it going Shawn!

    Hey Shawn, this is my favorite RUclips channel. It started with volcano interest. As I've continued to watch I realized I should have taken geology and geography in college. I want to learn to read the rocks but I'm not a spring chicken and my body is broken now. So I'm thankful for you.

    Thanks, Shawn, for another great session. I don't catch it as a livestream but tune in the next day and I always learn something new. Really appreciate your hard work, and those of the moderators, pulling the information together. Even picking it up the next day, I feel part of your team.

It is helpful to me as someone who views virtually all your videos and plans to, hopefully, return for my 3rd Willsey Field Geology Experience. I'm planning a huckleberry excursion to Lowman about the time of your talk. Fingers crossed that I can catch it. Many thanks to Amanda Jo!

    Thanks Shawn for sharing these sessions that you do. Geology 101 is great, just for it's explanation and use of data, for me it's a learning tool, which I watch whilst doing my daily keep fit. Thanks and keep up the great work, now to go and look at the website, to learn more.

    Google Earth has that crack at about 200M long. It could be muck longer that what is visible as I believe it is continuous under the lava field down to the berm. What would be most helpful for many of us would be an updated topo map of the area around Grindavik which has been impacted by the last 5 eruptions. With lava field depths from 10-30M it is hard to predict where new flows will go from the old maps since some slopes have shifted by 1 or 2% in grade. That big westward, and then northern flow from the cone in the 6-16/18 time frame definitely was a double barrel effect being both high volume and with an additional 20-30M elevation advatage to flow around Syllingefeld (sp).

    Your website is amazing! Amanda Jo truly is the best! So cool you choose Germany for your trip, even more so the river Rhine. I've lived in different places along it, currently its Coblenz. The Rhine valley is very pretty, and im sure you will find some sexy rocks, especially more to the south😅

    Probably too late to ask but would have breaking open the side of the of the lava lake opposite the power plant been an option? To change the direction of the flow.

    One hour in, it would be so useful if they'd drop some measurement markers all over Iceland. Like with the cones it's so hard to see if things are 10m or 100m. Obviously it would be like destructive littering, but very useful. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ The really curious question is why this area stopped 800 years ago, and why it restarted last year. I'm guessing hot pressurised magma can force open fractures, but cooling magma might clog them up, and even glue them shut.
    Overall it's probably = Inflow pressure from deep vs mass of the raised terrain vs strength of the subsurface. That balance would yield: erupt, pause, dormant. And all three could change week to week, and affect each other.

    We love these live sessions as much as you do, Shawn, thanks again for doing this :) And boudinage? How cool is this word! Added it to my geological lexicon! Now I have to figure out what it means exactly ;)
    Great job on the website Amanda Jo, it's really looking good! I haven't explored it all yet but I really like the simple style and soft brown and beige colors, everything is well organized, all the useful links are there, so it's easy to find what you're looking for :) Maybe an eshop could be added in the future so that we can order some cool merch? The "I brake for (random) sexy roadcuts with Shawn Willsey" bumper sticker is just awesome! ;)

    I enjoyed seeing the reports on your field trips with those lucky you-tubers. I also enjoy the 101 series; I find your explanations easy to follow. I tried borrowing books from the library, but that was hard going trying to follow those. The website! well, that is excellent - well done, Amanda Jo. Many thanks, from Australia (where I enjoyed my breakfast this morning watching your Live replay)

    Is Iceland similar to Northern California? It has a tremors chart , Tetonic! It can go up to 1000 but recently has been closer to 500. It does go as low as 30's. Seems like more EQ are prominent in California during the increases

  • @jfmezei
    @jfmezei 13 дней назад

    Question: early in your video, you show rocks. Where do rocks come from in Iceland? is this from the original ocean floor that was pushed up by lava? or does lava eventually become rock after a few years (decades, centuries, millenia?)

  • @susannell544

    Shawn, what is your take on the philosophy that in 2021, the magma was "old magma" and now we are seeing 'fresher' magma? I guess in my sinple brain, i thought it was just much hotter hence, the more liquid it appeared. Thoughts?
