Have you ever been watching a science program and wondered “How do they know that?” Dr. Gary L. Ford, President, IAFI, will briefly discuss the how and who “figured it out” regarding aspects of the Ice Age Floods, looking at five questions. These include:

  1. how we know there was a huge glacial lake in western Montana thousands of years ago,
  2. how we know it drained rapidly perhaps a hundred times,
  3. about how many floods there were and when they occurred,
  4. where the floodwater came from, and
  5. about how long it took the floodwater to get to the ocean.

We also go over which answers to these questions are still being debated by researchers.

Presented in partnership with Ice Age Floods Institute (IAFI)
