Post Falls Library Lecture: What Happened when the Dam Burst?
June 24 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm PDT
Geologist Michael Hamilton talks about the geology of the Spokane area which reveals an interesting part of the glacial flood story. When the glacial ice dam failed, the area immediately downstream received deposits of sediments and various landforms that provide clues of what happened when the dam burst. What we see in the flood deposits around Spokane also suggest insights on the sequence and size of the outburst floods.
Presented by Michael Hamilton, geologist and board member of the Ice Age Floods Institute (IAFI), Cheney-Spokane Chapter
