Geology of Virginia 2014

If this was 300 hours long, I would watch it all. And then probably watch it again.

You should team up with Nick Zentner to produce revolutionary kick-butt content

I took his class and I can say that he is a great professor! If you are not into Geology, you will end up liking Geology after taking his class.

Holly crap dude that was awesome. You gave it to us with both barrels blazing, "Yeh". Really great scope, great regional tie in. Great brief explanation of the unconformities, monoclines, anticlines. We use to say, it's like trying to stuff 100 pounds of _ _ _ _ in a 50 pound bag, but you did it. My hair hurts. Thanks so much for sharing with us all, out here in amateur land. We love geology too, we're just to burnt out to remember all the stuff the pros remember. We are so grateful for the help. It is frankly a frustrating mystery why millions more people don't fall in love with geology. I use to work for a civil engineering lab years ago, going to quarries to do sampling in Colorado, and that's when I caught the bug, with the first piece of petrified wood I pulled out of the quarry wall with my own two hands. It was thrilling, and I've been maniacally trying to piece it all together for the last 35 years. Lectures like this help out so much to give us a big picture story. Please do more.

I live in the Pacific Northwest. I’m not a Geologist but do enjoy learning about geological formations. Because of watching your video about US east coast geology formations, I learned more about US west coast geology formations in my backyard. Congratulations on a well produced and educational presentation on Virginia geology. It served for this observer to contrast the differences and similarities between US east coast and US west coast geological formations.

I love East Coast Geology so much! There is so much that went into the land we see today, which is wild since we sit in the middle of a Passive Margin today.

This was THE BEST science lesson - I learned so many new things. Thank you!

Been watching Professor Nick Zentner's series on WA State (grew up in WA) and wondered if there was similar material on VA geologic history. Very glad to have discovered your class. Thank you so much for sharing the geologic history of our state!

This is always so good. I keep coming back too him to listen.well spoken, not boring.

Great Presentation: Illustration of the tectonic migration of the crust components and their joining , combining , subduction and mountain building, layer accumulation, contortion and layering over time provides a comprehensive picture of how the continents we know today came to be.

This is the best course on Virginia’s geologic history. I took geology in collage and this short video covered the subject much better than my teachers did.

Sick vid, currently doin a project on VA geology and found this extremely enlightening. I’m actually from Culpeper, it’s always great to hear we are known for something besides breaking Superman’s back and paralyzing him from the neck down.

Wow, This presentation was mouthful, but well worth listening to. It was packed with lots of general Geology, formation of rocks, and contential history. Very well done - A++. Just amazing.

Great video. I am happy this popped up in my recommended videos. I learned much more than any 'made for TV' style video could teach me in the same time.

That was absolutely fascinating - thank you for sharing this knowledge in such an approachable way!

This was by far the best summary I have found and I have been scouring for a source that ties together information in a coherent manner. Thanks.

Absolutely TOP QUALITY!!!!! Wonderful job!!!

This is a fascinating peek back through the deep history of the Commonwealth, and illustrates the depth of the history that surrounds us. It is hard to wrap one’s mind around the timelines involved, but it certainly does help to give some insight into some of the most common geological sights in Va. really well done…. Hard to imagine this is a college project!

Very nice presentation. I'm a retired Geologist. I graduated in Geology from GMU so this was cool to see again.

I have a geology degree and enjoyed this well-done video. Thanks for putting in the effort!
