  1. Iain? You are a god! Need a willing disciple (but still an adherent to the
    Saltire within) in NZ at all??

  2. As a geologist I found this series to be both a wonderfully presented
    description of the development of my chosen science and the life of what we
    consider its father but a basic primer for the non-geologist who wants to
    better understand it without dumbing it down to the level of being innane.
    Combine that with the magnificent landscapes Hutton and Stewart worked in
    and you have three hours well spent.?

  3. what Hutton did not realize is that sedimentary layers can happen rapidly.
    we have modern evidence from floods that many large layers of sediment are
    laid within a year of rushing water. ?

  4. Episode 1 of a 3 parts series on the people who made us understand the
    Earth better. Louis Agassiz, Edward Bailey, James Hutton. It’s an
    excellent series by professor Iain Stewart.
    Note: no it’s not about Deep Purple, Led Zep and the Who. Sorry for the
    misleading title.?

  7. Brilliant. He has a way of looking at the camera which totally engages the
    viewer. Also he explains some complex theories very simply which is
    perhaps his genius. The accent is great too so well done to the erstwhile
    professor! And then of course we must give all due credit to the
    cameraman(woman) and the editors who put this together, and the BBC for
    giving the airtime that geology deserves. Scotland’s scenery is
    spectacular and this is coming from a geologist who lives in South Africa –
    a place known for its magnificent landscapes. Well done to all involved!?

  8. Kay Jones — Grow up, dear. You ask a question and then you block replies.
    Robert V. Gentry was not Dr. Gentry. He was dismissed from his doctoral
    program when he wanted to work on the age of the earth for his dissertation
    — as a young earth creationist. His ideas about fast granitic formation
    are unfounded. Did you really listen to this video? The whole point is
    the relatively long time is takes for granite to cool and form its crystals.

    It is quite possible that no one has seriously refuted his ideas because
    they are too off the wall to bother. As to yourself — there is not a
    single feature on your account. Are you a sock puppet??

  10. Yo Ian, i’m a geobonehead from philadelphia pa, usa, your videos
    outstanding in the field, as you’d expect from a geologist, however, what
    about “women of rock” there have been more than a few. Really, i have
    watched almost all your stuff and it’s brilliant, grand, lovely your quite
    the character. Your climate wars excellent, and as any good geologist you
    didn’t fall into the yes or no, trap. Good on you, not for nothiing, using
    my own philly accent dude ya rock!

    bil?

  14. I want to become a geologist, will send my University application very
    soon, and enjoyed this interview:P Geology should be way more popular than
    what it is at the moment!?

  16. Many thanks for uploading this. I am slowly working my way through all the
    bbc geology stuff I can find. Most of it is presented by Iain Stewart who I
    enjoy listening to. Last month I also watched a tv series from the states
    called “Nature of the planet – an introduction to geology” which was
    fantastic. I also plan to study Geology at University next year. At 40 I
    will be a mature student, I am a little afraid I will be older than the
    lecturer however I am passionate about this subject. Thanks uploader you
    have great content on your channel .?

  19. audio cold be a little more natural of the azoic age vestibular

    osmium there? oldest rock ! watt compute chips!?

  22. and has anyone disputed dr gentry work with granite which he says proves
    granite formed instantly.?

  23. if the sea bed was a solid mass of rock…how did it bend upwards to form
    hills ect when
    another continent collided with in it.36:57.?
