Canadian here just north of the border to you in White Rock. Mount Baker stands clear and tall across the water south to us. My 11yr old is always wondering when it will go again. Hidden in the mountains to the north of us is Garibaldi. It would be great to know more about volcanoes like Garibaldi which are such a contrast to the conspicuos mounts of Baker, Rainer, Helens and Hood. Harder for the young one to get their head around volcanoes hidden in the mix of peaks in the Cascades. Would be great to know more about these types of volcanoes. Your work is amazing and I’m thankful for the work and efforts you make to share your enthusiasm and knowledge with the rest of us! Best of luck with your new knowledge journey!

Nick, you so deserve every microliter of respect and thanks from everyone of us home viewers. I also believe the geologists you have faithfully listened to for the last 3 decades feel exactly the same. There's a reason they come on your "show" and I believe they respect you as a geologist, professor and for what you are building on KZitem. It's very obvious they completely enjoy interacting with you as do all of us. You are a legend long before you fade into the sunset some day, hopefully decades down the road. I look forward to the winter 24-25 A-Z series. I realize the Cascade range extends from Canada to California and there are many volcanoes in the Cascade range to choose from and talk about. I live not more than 15 minutes from Newberry in Central Oregon, about a hour drive from Mt. Bachelor and a little further from Broken Top, South, Middle and North Sister too. They are absolutely stunning volcanoes. If you are in the area and feel so inclined, it would be my great pleasure to provide you with a nice cold refreshing beverage! I look forward to this winters livestreams even if I seem to only catch them after the fact.

Yessssss!!! Cascade volcanoes A-to-Z! Love it! 😆 Hi Mr Zentner, animator Ben here. Two things I never seem to be able to wrap my brain around are 1.) the fact that two (or more?) forces, big 'S' plate subduction and the Yellowstone Magma Plume, were occurring in parallel with each other (please correct me if I'm wrong) and creating volcanoes across the sameish region using different methodology. It's fascinating & a little overwhelming. Maybe if you had time to disambiguate/differentiate those two in an overarching way, that might help simple knobs like me. Also 2.), the Columbia River Basalts appear impossibly massive, and my simple brain assumes an era of absolute hell on Earth for (1.5 mil years?). But I'm a human existing in the blink of a geologic eye, and can't comprehend 1.5 mil years in any intuitive way. Was it really nonstop apocalyptic? or was it just basically on par with the Hawaiian fissure stuff that we see going on lately, lava just pooping out like clockwork, that happened to take 1.5 million years to complete? Thank you, and best of luck with the new series!

By volume and weight the Cascade volcanoes are small compared to Columbia River Basalts. There are usually under 10 Cascade volcanoes over 300 miles, each a pyramid shape 10 miles wide x 2 miles tall including basement. The Columbia River Basalts were 1000x bigger, 1 mile thick and not 10 miles wide but 200 miles.... The CRBs made wasteland as wide as Iceland, so yes East Oregon and Washington was awful lava fields for like 1 million years about 16m years ago..... Compare to Cascade volcanoes and every 20,000 get only 1 smallish Mt St Helens eruption which blows up just 1 mountain and covers area with just 1 foot of ash. 1 foot is simply much less than 5000 feet, animals can borrow to be safe from 1 foot, but no animals survived 5000 ft of lava .... Sperate issue is where glaciers worse, 1 mile thick glaciers covering area for 50,000 years, or CRBs 1 mile thick for 1m years is another topic, ha... But far less bad was Cascade volcanoes.. I admit Cascades did UNDERGROUND leave a lot of batholiths but these were hidden and only over time erosion reveals these. They are visible as one drives thru Snoqualmie Pass, but 5m years ago the animals would not see.any of this except a small Mt Snoqualmie volcanoes that popped up for 500,000 years then exploded and eroded back to ground level... Weird..

I think Cascade story is that the volcanoes are individually small, but as guess over 30,000,000 years assuming 1 new one each 10000 years that's 3,000 volcanoes with batholiths 10x10 miles wide and 5 miles deep. West WA and OR and N CA is 100,000 mi2. So via math they've replaced original rock x3 times. Cascade batholith fields are the new bedrock replacing the sediment and exotic terrane rock... So Cascades are mostly an underground story. The BC volcanoes are 10x more active per area, showing subduction volcanoes can totally change a place, gradually.

I also think it would be interesting to know the affects of the CRB and the Yellowstone hotspot on the cascades as well.

After watching a lot of geology videos between you and Shawn Willsey, the things I’ve learned from you guys gave me a whole new appreciation and perspective during this trip. I didn’t just oooh and aaaah things at Yellowstone… I actually had an idea of geological features that we were looking at. On the way to SLC city (flying home tomorrow), we also stopped to see the Hell’s Half Acre lava field at the rest area on I-15. This trip was so amazing, and I’m kinda sad that it’s over tomorrow. But returning home to my own bed and to our dog is something to look forward to! Thanks for the knowledge in your videos!

Since I know a bit about the more recent volcanic activity from Mt Mazama to Mt St Helens, especially since the 1980 eruption of St Helens in our lifetime.

Sierras and Canada volcanoes we're pre 55ma. Cascades from Vancouver to San Fran started 40ma. So these in time are different. Sierras aren't really volcano peaks, left are just batholiths underground a big long mass 30x200km that has tilted in a few areas to make peaks on 1 side and death valley on another. The mountains by Anchorage also aren't volcanic, just tilted land. Just saying, at some point thhe volcanism is so old it's not really a volcanic caused mountain chain. Is Maine a volcanic landscape when granite was from 400m years ago... Fun.

@@piketrekfsdf209 I was suggesting, without specifically naming the voilcanos, earlier that Nick cover from Garibaldi in Canada to Mt Shasta in Northern California for the present Cascade volcano series, but if he is going to also cover the ghost volcanos I would selfishly like him to also cover the Crazy Eocene story from Cle ELum to Wenatchee in the gold district because that older vulcanism came 44 MYA or so ago and after micro continent docking. I was literally walking pn some of that 44 MYA basalt last Friday towards the top of Wenatchee Heights, and nobody much talks about that part of the story.

If Nick goes way back in time it could get weird. The Cascades have been so many thousand volcanoes, their basement rock or sediment eroded form their peaks has become the new bedrock. Whatever original rock was is mangled or mostly 10km down, and on top is batholiths and sediment. In Canada its even worse, so many old big volcanoes, but older..... My theory is that under mid WA was just shallow seabed, an inland sea with Siletzia making the near barrier mega island to this sea. And then add the 40 my of batholiths and erosion to add 10km of height... If that makes sense... Nick may want to avoid complexity and ancient history, buried, what matters is the current volcanoes..... One could also mention all this land in WA west of Palouse and Columbia mud is AWFUL for farmer or even building on. Seattle is hard to build on, rocky and landslides.. Seattle and N Cascades are worst land which still has cities over 10,000. The Cascades make awful crap land. It's almost as bad as trying to build on slopes of Iceland volcano, the conifer trees hides it well but it's awful land..... But I'm not complaining I'm not a farmer...... I wonder if Olympics which are 55my mostly is better farming and flatter,.Cascades are newer... Who knows.

My reply got lost.... I half think when Siletzia lodged it was like a barrier island and mid WA-OR was just 100 miles wide of seafloor basalt, and it was below sea level. Then 5my of sediment from S and Idaho filled in 5km, then Cascades started mid sea and added 1000 batholiths, then by 20ma ok it was more like dry land... I could be wrong but wasn't early Cascades area more a sea and sediment story. Here in TX we know half the state is seafloor piled with 10km of mud, ocean bays can become dry land... Or I could be wrong..

Nick, thanks for all you have done or the geological community, and I'm looking forward to your next A-Z series! I do hope that the geology dept. at CWU is able to hold on. The undergrad dept. where I got my BS in 1981 was essentially shut down several years ago, with only one professor remaining to teach geology topics. The graduate dept. at Emory University was shut down back around 1985 after failing to attract (and keep) MS/PhD students. I'd run out of money before then and had moved on to work in the "real world" without finishing my MS. I didn't know it at the time, but that failure torpedoed any opportunity for me to teach on the college level after a 20-25 year professional career, which was sort of a long-term plan. Now I have a bunch of reference books and stuff with nowhere to donate them. Anyway, keep doing what you do! We'll be here to participate from SW Georgia!

OT: You spoke of the problem CWU is having with declining enrollment. I recently watched a video about this on American geopolitical analyst Peter Zeihan's channel. In summation: Enrollment declining across the country is the pendulum swinging back toward skilled labor/blue collar jobs that were prevalent when the Boomers were kids. Boomers were born in such number that when they entered the workforce - in primarily non-degreed, blue-collar work heavily weighed toward manufacturing - there weren't enough jobs for them. The competition for jobs lowered the value of their labor. In an attempt to make up the difference in reduced family incomes, women had to enter the workforce in number, which made up some of the loss but lowered the value of labor even more. The competition for blue-collar jobs also set up for the decline of unionization and led to reduced benefits (gone were things like pensions, etc.) as well as outsourcing. Boomer parents encouraged their kids (primarily Millennials) to go to college to avoid the declines/outsourcing of blue-collar incomes/jobs that they were living through. The increase in enrollment created demand, which drove up tuition costs and led to the student debt crisis. (It also created a dearth in workers doing skilled labor, as anyone who has tried to find a plumber in an emergency can tell you.) Many of the students who took on debt to get their degrees haven't been able to find work in their field of study. (Sidenote: I heard a stat recently that around 60% of STEM grads have not been able to find a job in STEM.) Since student debt can't be discharged in bankruptcy, it becomes a deterrent to college. Now with the advent of AI, which will primarily replace degreed jobs, Zoomers (plus Alpha) are opting out of the student debt trap and heading into skilled trades via apprenticeship programs that earn them higher incomes sooner in jobs that can't be outsourced or replaced by AI. Enrollment in apprenticeship programs has been on the rise and paid apprenticeship programs get them earning while they're learning, versus paying to learn in an academic setting, while having to work or take on higher debt in order to go to college. Unfortunately, it's going to be the smaller universities across the country that take the biggest hit and they will need to be the most nimble in adjusting to the trend toward apprenticeship programs to survive.

It will take more than one year but I am jazzed about the direction geology is headed. Thanks for what you are building!

Someone in the live chat mentioned 'The Ring of Fire". Very active now. This could be a good theme. History, Geology, Impact, Future. These volcano eruptions affect us all.

We had just gotten back from a day drive to Moses Coulee to see what the excitement was about (we even recognized "Coyote's Dick," which was cool to be able to see), and turned on KZitem and there you were, livestreaming your "goodbye (to the IAFs). We've been gradually drawn in to more and more interest in local (and actually non-local, down in the SW and so on) geology, planning short and long trips all over the state to see what you're talking about. You've caught us up and pulled us along; we're planning more trips to Moses Coulee and Grand Coulee, we've learned terms like "eskers," "drumlands" and "diamict." You're right to feel good and proud about this chapter--it's a big deal, even from our armchair position out here in the non-geologist crowd. What a great story, with so many far-reaching ripples and potential ripples. Good onya, Nick, and we'll be following the next adventure as much as we can (while still catching up on the formations you've brought us to with this one). Please don't ever retire--we have so much more to learn! ❤️

O 52:38 n a road trip through C W. last month found Moses coollee and was awestruck. Then found Wallula Gap ….and came to tears- geology has become very emotional.

Awesome! I love all your A-Z series but I am really looking forward to the new A-Z about volcanoes. I'm sure there is a lot to learn about the different volcanoes like st Helens and mt Hood, the cinder cone volcanism, the tectonic setting etc. but also safety, warning and monitoring systems are cool subjects I think.

Hello from the Thailand/Myanmar border and Mai Sai basin and range province. Thank you for everything you do. I really appreciate the chance to stretch my brain you give me. Cascade volcanoes will be a great topic. I hope the administrators are not too short sighted there.

I became more excited about the Cascade Volcanoes A to Z idea as Nick announced it more. I’m sure he will focus on WA as always as that is closest to home, but I’m also looking forward to at least quick peeks at BC, OR, and Cali volcanoes (especially S OR and NorCal, my favorite area in the world).

Hi Nick, I would be interested to see how the cascade volcano story integrates into all your previous A-Z series, and look at the entire 44Ma to present evolution of the Cascades. As all the terrains accreted onto the North American continent, how did the Cascade subduction zone change. And how did the Yellowstone hotspot plow through the cascade subduction zone 15Ma ago. And, it would be good to know what came before the 44Ma beginning of the Cascade subduction zone. I like to view the cascade history less in detail and more in how it is affected by all the fireworks that happened during its creation and evolution.

Nick, I think that doing an A to Z series this Fall on the Cascade Volcanoes is a great idea. Personally, I would like to see it linked to the crazy Eocene. Also it would be broken down into time periods, including those of widespread dormancy. I think keeping mostly to Washington state would be good, but adding a couple from Oregon and a few with Gerome up in British Columbia. Any way you choose though, I think will be great!

Thanks for all your work. I don't know what the future of higher ed is but I do know that learning will not stop, good people will always teach, knowledge growth will not stop due to budget issues. I am a believer in the 'glass half full' theory. I will support our leaders who support colleges. (sorry for the preaching.. but let's do this!)

Yes we will be watching the next A to Z for sure we are excited.Thinking about one or two lecture on why they were created so close together and the names of the volcanos live and dead. Suggest maybe the older volcanos to talk about and study. Maybe touch on The Mt. Saint Helen's eruption and the recovery and it's affects it had on land and rivers. Of course everyone wants to know the prediction of the next erruption from which volcano and why the east coast has no volcanos!

Hard to believe it has been five years since I started watching you. I wanted to know about Lake Missoula and I found your videos. I have learned a lot about Geology. I look forward to your teaching us about the Cascade Volcanoes no matter how you present the information. Future idea could be the history of the rivers originating in the Rocky Mountains. Have a great summer!

For me I would love to see you start from the most recent to the oldest in order of eruption history. As I started watching this late as usual my thinking was earth's core series and how it impacts geology. Hanna and Mike are two people I want to see great things from.

I'd love to learn more about Mt. Mazama and the South Sister "bulge" (During the 1990s, a very subtle bulge grew on the west side of South Sister, near Bend in Oregon. It stopped growing by 2002, but now 20 years later, it has started growing again.). I know there are some interesting Native American legends surrounding all of the Cascades, but since Mt. Jefferson is outside my window, it's the nearest and dearest to my heart. (legend that a warrior's canoe got stuck on top during a great flood, so the double tips = ends of the canoe and a rock in the middle is the warrior. Of course viewing from Madras area this is pretty clear to see. Also there is a jackrabbit shape that reveals itself in the rocks, when the snow melts off in late spring/summer--that if I remember has some stories associated. Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs would be a great source for legends of (at least) the Oregon Cascades...
