SUMMARY:Cheney-Spokane Members Meeting and Public Lecture by Dr. Eugene Kiver
DESCRIPTION:This event is open to the public\, but only IAFI Cheney-Spokane members can vote during the member meeting. It will be held at the beautiful new Doris Morrison Learning Center at 1330 S. Henry Road.  Exit the freeway south on Barker Road\, turn left at the roundabout at Sprague Road\, then right at the three-way junction on Henry Road. \n\nMember meeting: 2:00-3:00 PM\nDr. Kiver’s lecture will begin around 3 PM\, after the member meeting.  It is open to the public (see title and blurb below).\n\nNote: At present\, we have three openings on our chapter board.  Our board meets the third Tuesday of each month from 3-5 PM at the Wren-Pierson Building in Cheney.  Interested? Members with expertise in accounting or K-12 education or medical experience or any other expertise that would aid our chapter’s mission should send a very brief vita to Dr. Linda McCollum\, President\, IAFI Cheney-Spokane Chapter\, lmccollum@ewu.edu \n  \nDr. Eugene Kiver Lecture: GLACIERS AND MISSOULA FLOODS IN NORTHEASTERN WASHINGTON \nImmense quantities of Glacial Lake Missoula floodwater roared through not only the Rathdrum/Spokane floodway but also through the rugged mountain topography of the Northern Rockies in northeastern Washington. Here floods ripped across non-basaltic glaciated rocks and through the Little Spokane River drainage into the Channeled Scabland south of the present course of the Spokane River. This alternate route is often overlooked. \nThe Pend Oreille River course north of Newport has been reversed and now flows north into Canada. Glacial suppression of the crust is the suspected culprit. Over a mile of ice buried the Pend Oreille River valley near Canada during the late Wisconsin ice advance allowing water to flow north and cut deep canyons along the river course.

SUMMARY:The Case for Rapid and Recent Flooding in Upper Grand Coulee
DESCRIPTION:On 07 Oct 2024 the Puget Lobe Chapter will have Dr. Karin Lehnigk\, Postdoctoral Researcher at Georgia Tech\, who has studied the Channel Scablands in Eastern Washington by performing cosmogenic nuclide exposure dating on Missoula flood   transported-boulders to determine what path they took at different points in time.  It will be a very informative lecture with new information.  Think Mars and Himalayan Mountains. \nCosmogenic nuclide dating is a method used to estimate the age of rock exposure at the Earth’s surface. It relies on the interactions between cosmic rays and nuclides in glacially transported boulders or eroded bedrock. By measuring nuclide concentrations\, scientists can determine the age of landforms ranging from a few hundred years to tens of millions of years.  It looks like a crust or rind on surface of the sample when you cut or break a sample open.

SUMMARY:The Rush to Oregon Territory
DESCRIPTION:The Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute will meet Tuesday\, October 8 at 7:00 PM\, at the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center\, 127 S. Mission\, Wenatchee. Or via Zoom link https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84520197937 \nOur speaker is Dr. E.F. Cater\, Director of the Douglas County Museum in Waterville. Dr. Cater will explore “The Rush to Oregon Territory\,” how the twisting and turning of 19th-century society crossed up with the Ice Age Floods. \nAn odd happenstance occurred when a delegation of Salish men from the Walla Walla area traveled to St. Louis. They sought out their old friend\, General William Clark\, with an unusual question. This little spark caused a rush to Oregon Territory for reasons different than what Manifest Destiny has led us to believe. \nAnd the stirring of this pot brought the discovery of fantastic geological features like Grand Coulee. Join us as we take a look at Western Expansion. \nThe program is free and open to the public. \n[Illustration: Lewis and Clark on the Trail 1804\, by Michael J. Deas]

SUMMARY:"Mega-Floods" - Presentation by Bill Burgel
DESCRIPTION:Bill Burgel\nIn a field of geological investigation first identified and then pioneered by J Harlen Bretz\, JT Pardee and Vic Baker\, Mega-Floods have been recognized throughout the world and on the planet Mars. These catastrophic floods are quite capable of sculpting the landscape wherever they occur with disastrous consequences. \nCan they happen today? What are some notable historic examples? Is Noah’s Flood one of these events? How are they different from Mega-Tsunamis that are also found around the globe? Bill will answer these questions and more at the October 24th meeting of the Lower Columbia Chapter of the Ice Age Institute. \nThursday\, October 24\, 2024\, In Person 6:45PM PDT\nat the Tualatin Heritage Center\, 8700 SW Sweek Drive\, Tualatin\, OR 97062\nALSO Simultaneous Live ZOOM from THC if you cannot attend the THC meeting in-person. \nClick for Zoom meeting\, Meeting ID: 869 4651 3479 Passcode: 322382.\nFor more information contact: LowerColumbia@iafi.org
