SUMMARY:Lunch and Lecture with Dr. Eugene Kiver- “Solving Geologic Problems: Megafloods of Lava &  Water in Eastern Washington”
DESCRIPTION:Where: THE HIVE\, Event A Room (Use Door Code 371047 # to enter.) \n \nBring your lunch and enjoy this Floods lecture from Dr. Kiver during the lunch hour. The Chapter will provide a variety of beverages\, cookies\, and plates\, utensils\, cups\, and crushed ice. There will be plenty of time for questions and answers! \nDescription: The flat\, non-mountainous topography of eastern Washington displaying mostly serene landscapes suggests a quiet geologic origin. However\, a closer examination of the rocks\, sediments and landforms tells a story of violence that would seem only Hollywood could invent! \nMassive floods of lava\, some over 200’ thick and 300 miles long about 17 to 6 million years ago buried a hilly landscape turning the Columbia Plateau or Basin into a vast lava plain called a flood basalt field. No human has ever experienced lava flows of this magnitude. Later during the Pleistocene\, huge continental glaciers covered most of North America and ground much of the underlying rock into silt-size particles that would later become the famous Palouse Soil. The glaciers also created a huge lake that repeatedly failed catastrophically and ripped the rock surface into an astonishing system of coulees\, lakes\, and other landforms that make up the Channeled Scabland. \nThis lecture is free and open to the public. Dr. Kiver is Geology Professor Emeritus after teaching 34 years at Eastern Washington University. He studies glacial history in the West and volcanic history of the Cascade Mountains. He is a founding member of the Ice Age Floods Institute and a member of the IAFI Cheney-Spokane Chapter board of directors. \nIf you will be coming\, please RSVP to iaficheneyspokane@gmail.com with the number of people. This will help us get the right amount of supplies. Thank you!

SUMMARY:Dr. Ralph Dawes - "Glaciated Landscape Beneath the Okanogan Ice Sheet"
DESCRIPTION:The Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute’s next program will be on Tuesday\, October 10 at 7:00 PM at the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center\, 127 South Mission St.\, Wenatchee. \nDr. Ralph Dawes\, Professor of Earth Science\, Wenatchee Valley College\, will discuss the “Glaciated landscape that formed beneath the Okanogan Lobe of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet” in north central Washington. This area\, including Douglas County north of Waterville and all of Okanogan County\, was studied early in the last century by well-known geologists J Harlan Bretz\, Richard Foster Flint\, and Aaron C. Waters. How the ice sheet shaped the landscape underneath it was a source of controversy back then\, and remains a subject of scientific debate today. \nDr. Dawes takes a four-part approach addressing the origin of the Okanogan landscape: \n\nRead published geologic studies of the Okanogan Lobe and Cordilleran Ice Sheet;\nlearn latest theories of how ice sheets create landforms;\nuse current online map data; and\nground-truth to examine the evidence itself.\n\nYou can attend in-person at the Museum\, or via Zoom link https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84520197937  Please sign in at 7:00 PM\, October 10! \nThe program is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:The Other Half of the Equation: JT Pardee and the Lake He Discovered
DESCRIPTION:Bill Burgel\nWhile J Harlen Bretz was exploring the Scablands with his grad students\, Joseph Pardee was quietly amassing convincing data about the existence of Glacial Lake Missoula. Pardee’s work ultimately led to acceptance of Bretz’ theory of catastrophic outburst flooding as an important tool in the shaping of our world. Come hear Bill Burgel in person discuss JT Pardee’s critical role in the evolution of the science of geology! \nThis presentation is In-Person Only on Thursday\, October 19\, 2023 at 7:00PM\,\nat Tualatin Heritage Center\, 8700 SW Sweek Drive\, Tualatin\, OR 97062 \nAbout our presenter: Bill Burgel \nBill retired from the railroad industry after a successful 40 year career. He worked for several railroads in the engineering and operating departments.His interest and training in geology was often called upon to resolve landscape issues and rerouting studies\, implement early earthquake warning strategies and conduct numerous long railroad tunnel analyses.He has given many talks on rail issues as well as earthquake preparedness and topics pertaining to regional geology to local audiences throughout the Pacific Northwest. Bill is a graduate of The University of Michigan\, BS in Engineering and MS in Structural Geology from Idaho State University.
