I worked as a petroleum / reservoir engineer in Alaska for 43 years. I really appreciate the work of yourself and your piers. It's amazing how much energy one experiences in a 4.1 when is location is 6 miles deep, directly under your home. We experienced some 7+ but the were centered 200 miles north. I did not experience the 9.0 in 1964, but many of my co-workers did. Their stories were bone chilling. Thanks again for a very illustrative lecture.

Coming from Poland, a country spared from these types of natural disasters, this topic is foreign to me, but this presentation explaining geological evidence, historic and current data grasped my attention more than any modern 3D visualisations and documentaries I’ve watched on this subject. I believe the passion of the lecturer played a huge role in igniting my interest. Great stuff! Highly recommended even for a total layperson like me. Thank you!

Watch some UKposts made by Dutchsinse. He is amazingly accurate in predictions how earthquakes are interrelated and where pressure is most likely to be released. Cratons and fracking also contribute to pressure spots
@koltoncrane3099
@koltoncrane3099 Рік тому
@@Sushi33312 not just fracking. Some earthquakes have been caused by geothermal power plants putting holes in the ground and helping make an earthquake. You never hear about though when it comes to renewable energy. It's just fracking is bad but geothermal is good. What makes me laugh super hard is thinking that europe bans fracking. It makes sense if an area if it increases earthquakes, but some earthquakes might be cheaper then importing energy. Europe now imports natural gas from the US thats been fracked so technically even though europe banned fracking or is against it theyre totally supporting it by importing even more expensive energy.

Nick you are a remarkable lecturer, teacher, and I would suspect would make a terrific father. That said, I have done lectures, it is very hard to hold the audience, very difficult to time the presentation and gain audience comprehension of what one is trying to convey. You are one of the best I have ever seen. I grew up in Corvallis and Bend, I have been to every single place you mention, really hits home. Thanks for your efforts, I know it takes a lot of work to pull this all together, and your students are blessed to claim you as a teacher.

I had the "honor" as the newest mathematics graduate student to teach the 8a.m. Trig and Analytic Geometry class to between 50 and 100 students. Mondays were so much fun after a weekend of beer and cheer. However, the cheer was missing when I tried to engage them in the lecture. He is amazing! I have never understood the plate structure of the PNW but now I have a pretty decent understanding!

I’m in the same boat, Arthur, and just recently ran across Nick’s excellent presentations. I agree with everything you’ve said, and wanted you to know. Really good teachers are always as much fun to listen to, as they are for whatever interesting topics they are teaching…but Nick is one of the very best I’ve ever had the fortune to find!☺️

Me two!!! I would have aced his class! He keeps you at your seat! And his energy grabs your attention!!! We definitely need more teachers like him! We are lacking in that department now in our schools! Most of my grandchildren are bored in school! I always ask my Grandchildren what and how is school?.,,,,, Everyone are mostly telling the same, boring and so I’m interested in what they’re teaching! And that’s so sad too me!!! But we really don’t have many good teachers these days, lots of them are just there for a paycheck!!!

Nick, I think you might be a bit too young to have met, but, you remind me of the great Dr. Anderson (UPS). The energy and ability to communicate that marks your videos brings wonderful memories of studying PNW Geology under the good Dr. Thanks for what you do to help all of us remain students and continue our education through your presentations.

Total convergence is 5 inches per year (North American plate moves 4 inches, Juan de Fuca moves 1 inch in the opposite direction). So... every 500 years or so, the North American plate has been locked in place and loaded with the energy of more than 200 feet worth of movement along a 700 mile long zone.

Excellent presentation, Sir. Kept me riveted to every word you were saying, moreso because of how you tied your chalkboard information with a more solid information from another reputable geologist thru the services of youTube. Thank you Sir, for your continued hard work, and thoroughness of your very passionate interpretation. Just plain very educative, and very well presented. Once again Sir, thank you very much for your passion jn presenting the subject material.

Oh my god this dude is a God-tier lecturer!! 😱👏👏 I'm always so impressed by teaching professionals who are *this* goddamn talented. I've never been to Oregon nor had I ever heard of this school, let alone heard of this professor, and I'm just amazed by him. First time listening to anything he's presented and I'm already wishing more (or any) professors had patreons to which I could donate. Keep killin it, prof. ❤️💪😤🤘❤️

What a great communicator of a fascinating subject. People who work in such fields, and in other areas of science, are the first to admit that our knowledge of the natural world will never be complete. But we will keep on striving to understand what is happening around us by the evidence that we uncover. Much better than the 'God of the Gaps' view of the world.
