I'm supposed to be working, but saw this and had to watch. How wonderful to get to "meet" Sharon! Thanks so much for all of your contributions to the Bretz A-Z Series.
Thank You Sharon for all the help. As someone who has been doing genealogy for over 40 years working in a familySearch center you added to both my interests genealogy and geology.
VERY interesting, especially the part about the Lake Chelan pictographs and what seems like a plausible indigenous presence there at the tail end of the last Ice Age. Good stuff!!
Nick, how about a live stream from Pantops with any geologist who wants to show up? It seems like such a pivotal spot. There is a similar rock in a lake w/pictographs and a Native origin story by Lave Beds National Monument in Cal. Thanks Sharon for all the work and enhancing my life!
Wow. Sharon from Malaga never stops dropping interesting research bombs. What a badass! The Chelan petroglyphs at higher presumably ice age lake levels is a fascinating possible additional confirmation of humans in the PNW and the Americas earlier than 12000 years ago.

How do you do it Nick? How do you find these wonderful smart, questioning, interesting, skilled folks. Thank you Thank you so much Sharon for helping Nick and all of us learn from your research skills. I love being around people like Sharon and the others that have helped with Bretz A to Z. See you in Ellensburg in a few weeks.
Very good job Sharon, a lot of us Zentnerd really apricate you hard work and time thank you. And thank you professor stay safe ALL. Iam headed to Lake Chelan on a fishing excision in med June, hope to see the petroglyph.
Your tips and techniques are really valuable, as is your research. It's great to hear your take on Flint, too. I hope you'll summarize what you learn. Solid information, so great of you to share. The objective of whites was extraction, though it's old news, it's still hard to read.
I've seen those petroglyphs near Stehekin. My wife and I took the lady of the lake and spent the night, rented a canoe and went over to the see them, then flew in a float plane back down the lake. A great experience!
Working with computers since the 60s ??I took computer programming In High School 1975 -1976 and in college The language that we used was Fortran 4 All programs were run on a mainframe computer local business let us use there’s UWGB had a computer that we were able to access by telephone We had a printer at UW Marinette that was it A lot has changed since then.Just like a lot has change in Geology ..Learning that is, we know a lot more I find her story fascinating
LOL. I was in the punch card era starting and took Fortran and Cobal classes from San Diego State extension while working at the Joint Parachute Test Facility at El Centro. By the 1970's I was involved in business computing and took IBM programming classes in RPG at Seattle while working for a construction company in Wenatchee. What I loved about designing and writing computer software systems is that you always have to learn something new - new computers, new operating systems and sometimes new languages.
Wonderful story of the pictographs, Sharon. Totally agree with you. I have been following the stories of the peoples who came over the and LIVED ON for a generation the land bridge between the continents. I have been following the DNA results showing this. So enjoyed your talk today. You speak well! Thank you. I could tell you more about the dna. Hope to see you in April at Nick’s talks. I am flying in from Boston.
Today is the 9th of March 2024. I'm just microfishing my way around and I tuned in 2 hour's late of what I thought was a live or a up to date intrview, thinking the 6th of March is a typo error of a upsidedown 9th. I'm thinking the last time I watched you two you were out in the field along the river bank Anyway, maybe i just think too much and assume wrong. What i do is not relevant. Thank You for doing what you do. I will make every attempt possible to get up to speed and on time. I'm learning so much about Washington a much younger landscape than Vermont. Sending love.
QQQQQQ. Nick is it possible to get someone with a drone to check the pictograph images at both sites and photograph them for the A-Z website. Perhaps get gps/altitude readings to add to the story. Perhaps add the 1907 story, Sharon read as well. Thank you Sharon for your input into the series. I use newspapers for Genealogical and Rev War research. So glad Nick is doing these follow up interviews.
15:40 - 16:30 I decided to ask MS CoPilot to see what kind of answer I'd get about great earthquakes during the 1922-1923 season when Bretz was out in eastern WA that would prompt these sensational headlines about an "earthquake felt around the world," and it gave me this: "The Great Kanto Earthquake (1923): On September 1, 1923, the Great Kanto Earthquake struck Japan. It was considered the worst natural disaster to hit quake-prone Japan at the time. The initial jolt was followed by a 40-foot-high tsunami, which swept away thousands of people. The total death toll from this earthquake was over 146,000."
Hi Sharon, if you are still checking in here I would love to come look at the sorted cobbles on your hillside. Please let me know when and how. I’ve been studying the Wenatchee River rocks.
I'm wondering if Sharon knows Maria Langer, the lady helicopter pilot who also lives in Malaga and owns a helo she uses largely for crop drying. I know Nick knows her because she took him on a helicopter excursion around much of the Columbia River and the coulees that empty out to the Columbia in the Wenatchee area.
great conversation, many thanks to you both. I would like to clear up a possible confusing point; when Sharon referred to a pole shift, was she talking about a magnetic pole shift? I ask this because i come across this issue a lot, and unless it is clearly defined, it can lead to all sorts of misunderstandings in the wider public..
40:15 Reading this article, it's a different date entirely from the Kanto quake, however it doesn't show what _year_ this article was published. But I notice that someone was attributing this to a quake on the ocean floor offshore of the mouth of the Columbia River. One would conclude that that is consistent with perhaps a subduction quake along Cascadia or perhaps a quake along one of the transform boundaries of the JDF Plate; but no one said anything about a tsunami, so that rules out a subduction quake (for which Brian Atwater found no evidence that I know of from that period of time). So I'm still perplexed as to what they're referring to here.
That newspapers article was several pages long, and was dated February 1 1922. The earthquake they were reporting was January 31 2022. There was no concensus where the quake ocurred according to the news report. This was not the first big quake of 1922. Here is a little summary both from the news and from Wiki Earthquake Summary. 1922 Jan 17 WIKI LIST: Magnitude 7.9, Peru Loreto region, depth 475 km 1922 Jan 17 MANY NEWS clips: 9 Earthquakes jar southern California. “The earth vibrations were reported from San Diego to Santa Barbara, and at Riverside and San Bernadino, while the most severe effects were in Los Angeles.” Siesmographs record in California, Washington DC and Gonzaga. “ A rough triangulation showed that the approximate spot where the reported disturbance occurred would be in the Pacific ocean 530 miles south of Cape Cerrientia Mexico and approximately 1139 miles west of Nicaraugua.” 1922 Jan 26 NEWS fresh earthquake, reports come in from Seattle, Spokane seismographs. Seattle UW people say nearby, Spokane Gonzaga people say thousands of miles north or south. Was this a precursor to the Jan 31 bigger quake off the coast of northern California (triple junction)? 1922 Jan 31 WIKI LIST: Magnitude 7.3, United States of the coast of northern California, depth 15 km 1922 Jan 31 NEWS MANY reports with very dramatic headlines of a mystery earthquake that some thought to be off the coast of Washington, or Oregon, and others thought to be in South America. Perhaps both were true, ie one event triggered the other almost simultaneously? This earthquake was described as massive, monstrous, broke seismographs in North America but no tsunamis were detected and they were having trouble locating it. Much discussion and many theories. I believe that this earthquake has been underrated in modern times for intensity based on how it was described.
quick video notes, as a study tool.. enjoy. use quotes for specific spelling in search engines searches, (also use and or not..). 2 genology sites, newspapers sites, also other newspaper headlines near searched for article. library of congress, duck duck go, specific search, hierarchical search use intentional, order of words ask about "finding aid" at each university archive, in different colleges and universities ect. use books.. search similar authors, use a books bibliography as a gold mine! for leads to more troves of archives.. wagners original book, continental drift 1910, library of congress article called "chronicaling america" free
On search engines: I've always thought that, just for the chaos it would cause with searches, someone needs to hold a charity event with NBA star Paul George and science fiction author John Ringo.
