The unique landscape of the Channeled Scablands was a mystery that baffled the first geologists who visited them over 100 years ago. Finding clues, they unraveled the mystery that was unbelievable to their colleagues. After more than two decades of discovering more clues, the theory that enormous floods had carved the scabland was finally accepted by most of the scientific community. Lloyd Stoess, President of the Palouse Falls Chapter, will take you on a journey following these two early detectives and the clues they found as well as what today's detectives and the modern tools they are using to better understand our incredible landscape.
Field Trips and Hikes are led by amateur and professional Geologists with new and amazing information to share. They are fun, exciting and informative outdoor adventures for the entire Family to enjoy!
Visit our Activities Event Calendar below for IAFI Field Trips, Hikes and other activities in your area, and have a great time!
We offer indoor Presentations, especially popular when heat or cold make outdoor Field Trips too uncertain or uncomfortable. Many Presentations are available via Zoom.
We also offer programs for schools, senior centers and similar organizations to educate and stimulate minds about the Ice Age Floods.
Other Events such as meetings, festivals, conventions and gatherings, with various public and private organizations, help us tell the story of the Ice Age Floods, Geology, Wildlife and History.
We often have our ‘Store in a Box‘ at these types of events where people can view and purchase IAFI merchandise.
