SUMMARY:The Ancient Ice Age Floods in the Pacific Northwest
DESCRIPTION:The Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute will meet Tuesday\, February 11 at 7:00 PM. Our speaker will present remotely via Zoom from Portland. Those not computer- or Zoom-savvy can attend in-person for a live screening at the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center\, 127 S. Mission\, Wenatchee. Or at home using Zoom link    https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81855547958  Meeting ID: 818 5554 7958 \nDr. Scott Burns\, Professor Emeritus of Geology at Portland State University\, is a researcher\, teacher\, and story-teller of Pacific Northwest Geology. He will discuss “The Ancient Ice Age Floods in the Pacific Northwest.” \nWe know that Ice Age Floods have inundated the Pacific Northwest over the past 2.8 million years. But we primarily concentrate on the last ones\, the Missoula Floods\, that occurred between 20\,000-15\,000 years ago. That’s because the Missoula Floods left the most visible record; they obliterated nearly all the evidence of earlier inundations. Current research\, however\,  shows an unfolding story of the many torrents that preceded the Missoula Floods. Erica Medley\, an MS student of Dr. Burns\, discovered many deposits of these rarely discussed ancient floods. Dr. Burns\, a most dynamic speaker\, is here to talk about those older ones! \nThe program is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Google Earth & the Field Notes of Bretz & Pardee
DESCRIPTION:Join Glenn Cruickshank as he shares a look at 16 years of J Harlen Bretz’s field notes about the historic ice age floods and 30 years of Joseph Pardee’s USGS field notes\, now publicly available for the first time in 100 years and visible through Google Earth. This presentation will introduce you to a large and growing collection of historic notes by early ice age floods investigators\, but if you can’t make the presentation you can explore much of the material on Nick Zentner’s CWU webpage. \nPresentation will be by Glenn Cruickshank\, Vice President\, Cheney-Spokane Chapter\, IAFI\, Liberty Lake\nPresented in partnership with Ice Age Floods Institute (IAFI) \n(Registration required on SCLD website. Registration opens at 6:00 PM Wednesday\, January 15\, 2025.)

SUMMARY:Oregon Gold - This valuable mineral is brought to you by Geology
DESCRIPTION:Geologist and professor\, Sheila Alfsen\, will show how geologic processes that occurred in Oregon paved the way for the discovery and utilization of gold in our state.

SUMMARY:Take a Bee-Line to the Wild Side
DESCRIPTION:Wild bees are a diverse group of bees that are important pollinators for many crops and plants. The U.S. has roughly 4\,000 species of wild bees that pollinate thousands of plants\, including many common foods like apples and almonds. Wild bees\, along with many pollinators\, are declining around the world due to land changes\, human activities\, pesticide use\, and other threats. Despite growing concern about population declines\, there are limited data about wild bees. You can help wild bees by providing nesting boxes\, restoring pollinator-friendly habitats\, and encouraging legislation that protects bees. In his “Take a Walk on the Wild Side” presentation\, Steve Castagnoli will provide an introduction to the natural history of wild bees in the Pacific Northwest.  \n \nSteve Castagnoli is an apprentice level melittologist with the Oregon Bee Atlas. The Oregon Bee Atlas Master Melittologist Program trains and equips citizen scientists to: a) create and maintain a comprehensive and publicly accessible inventory of the state’s native bees and their plant-host preferences\, b) to educate Oregonians on the state’s bee biodiversity and c) to conduct an on-going survey of native bee populations in order to assess their health. Specimen records are added annually to newly digitized historic records from the Oregon State Arthropod Collection to build the first comprehensive account of the native bee fauna of Oregon. \n \n
