Volcanoes of the Cascades- Exploring the Past, Present, & Future of the Cascade Volcanic Arc 

Obviously, you worked hard on this video. Nice flow, visually appealing, and packed full of good info. I liked and subscribed.

Oh my God!!! I had a dream about 2 years ago about Glacier Peak erupting. Everyone I've told has said it won't happen. Obviously, Solomon, you know what you're talking about. Glacier Peak is not getting enough attention. 😟

Juan De Fuca - sounds like a Mexican dish that would require some antacid... Another great video.

Great video. thank you so much for some really good content

I have watched shows, read books since the 1970's about this subject. Your video covers all that in half an hour. I can't wait until part 3.....

I enjoy your funny comments. You make great videos! Excellent!

Thanks for the video Solomon always an interesting video.

Excellent video! Just enough geology for the layman. Answers some questions about the PNW volcanoes. I enjoyed the beautiful shots of the scenery.

Good job on this. Very educational and flows nicely....keep up the good work!!

Waking up, not knowing what you'll learn today. GREAT lesson! I'd love for you to do insight into Missoula's dangers. Whatever you approach, I'll be watching.

Good content. Interesting and educational! Thanks

Excellent presentation, and I love your bits of humor. Back in the mid-1980s, as I was going to sleep at the Timberline Lodge Resort on Mt. Hood, I realized that I was going to sleep on an active volcano. Yikes! Something I resolved not to do. But it was gorgeous!

Thank you, great video! I lived in Tumalo and Bend, Oregon growing up and have visited all of these places, some several times. I live in SF now, wonderful to see all these places again. Thank you... again. Peace.

One small nitpicky sidenote: that lahar on Mt Hood, on the White River Floodplain/Debris Plain, has also had recent occurrences and is the main reason why no trees grow in that immediate spot. Various fall/winter rainstorm caused events have caused massive and very recent debris flows down that valley (and they also happen in other valleys around Mt Hood as well as Mt Rainier, such as the recent ones in the last two decades that took out the Westside Road, Carbon River Road, Nisqually Road, and Sunshine Point Campground.) If you look to the sides, trees have grown up in older lahar deposits, although stunted and much more sparse. The recent lahars just in the last decade or two have done considerable damage to the Mt Hood Highway (26) as well as completely rerouted the river over into a much more forested part and away from that massive and more barren debris field. ODOT had to rebuild the bridge after the debris flow nearly took out the old bridge, only for the next debris flow to reroute the river away from the main bridge water channel and into the smaller side-overflow bridge channel. So that area on the White River is incredibly dynamic and lots of those lahar deposits are recent, even if they are built upon older deposits. Wyeastblog (a site) has some interesting articles on that specific White River debris flow and eveything else Mt Hood related. Oh also of note, even Mt St Helens has had recent lahar debris flows! Around Blue Lake Trailhead, south of the mountain. I backpacked there a few years ago. Great video! I know a lot about the Cascade range just from my own interest in the subject as well as being an avid PNW hiker, but I always enjoy watching videos like these and I learned some stuff I didn't know too.

It would be interesting to understand what immediate effect (if any) a Cascadia Subduction Megaquake would have on Vulcanic activity in the cascades.

Thank you great information

I just came from video 2 to watch them in order. Thanks! Right up my alley!

Your video deserves more views. I enjoyed your content and make an effort to watch this part two and then as I understand it any other parts that you release.

The coolest SOA video to date!!

I like that you don't overplay or underplay the realities associated with potential dangers in the PNW. Your information is prepared, you don't hem-haw around trying to present it, have a great speaking voice, a pleasure to listen to. Your photography is beautiful. Where is that very long bridge located?

Great video geologists rarely talk about what fuels those volcanoes it makes them alive here in north Idaho there is a layer of volcanic ash 16 to 18 inches thick and very consistent the ash came from creator lake volcano.

I watched several documentaries and a movie today about the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. I was in 9th grade when it happened. I have to live under the constant severe weather threat here in Louisiana but I can grow food all year. I wouldn`t know how to live anywhere else because I depend on my fruits, berries, vegetables, fishing and my knowledge learned living here for 60 years. I just moved to a very rural area and plan to get chickens as pets for eggs. They`re funny birds.

Lovely 4 out of 5 of the volcanos most likely to go are 4 of Washington's 5 volcanos.

I recently learned that the rolling steep hills here in central Louisiana were formed when the big asteroid hit that wiped out the dinosaurs. That`s the theory. I`ve always wondered how they were formed. There are lots of sea fossils here too, whale bones, coral and black shark teeth. I used to hunt for fossils nearly every day in local gravels and gravel bars on the creeks. There are agates and petrified wood here too...some valuable types.

Dude if you hit northern washington , I'd love to link up💪 I used to live in Vegas and moved to washington but love the videos and think it'd be sick to go rockhound and learn a thing or two 💪

I was hoping you were going to talk about three sister volcanos

Why does no one mention Mt Baker? It is active and potentially dangerous and I can see it from my Canadian home. Good show.

I`ve been studying this subject for several months. I couldn`t live near these volcanoes. It`s just a matter of time before these blow. It makes no sense that people are living in the path of mud flows. I`d get OUT of there as soon as possible!

Where are the links to the various hazard maps that you stated you would provide? Fairly nice video, but I would like to have seen a discussion of obsidian characteristics.

Glacier Peak, the ugly duckling of the Cascades. This potentially most deadly, disrespected volcano will become well known.

Want to survive a volcanic eruption? When the USGS says "leave," don't whine, just LEAVE!

Public speaking professor here: do less with your hands when you talk. They are distracting. Great content!

is it coincidence that all geologists deny the existence of God and the creation story or a requirement for the job?

I flipped a coin and have decided that I'll go with the geological creation myth. What do you think? Lucky coin? Should I head for the casino?
