On the geologists front, I wholeheartedly agree. My personal favorite is Nick Zentner of Central Washington University, whose lectures on YouTube are extremely lucid and clear about how geologists arrived at their conclusions and what's still up for debate.

Still mindblowing to me that plate tectonics were still "up for debate" as late as the early 1960s.

Anyway, my favorite lecture of his is Ancient Rivers of the Pacific Northwest.

I'm appreciating all the geologist love in this thread. I should go back to college and finish my degree...

Yes! I saw the Ancient Rivers of the PNW one as well and am close enough that I went out to eastern oregon to see the gigantic blobs of lava rock that still exist there. Very cool to see!!! Oddly terrifying even though it happened millions of years ago.
