SUMMARY:Norwegian Scenic Routes - An Ice Age Floods Trail Model
DESCRIPTION:Interpreting Landscapes Of Deep Time: Norway’s Scenic Routes & The Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail \nFor the past several years\, architect Rand Pinson has been researching and exploring the Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail. That work led to a fellowship with the Architecture Foundation of Oregon and a trip to Norway to study its celebrated Scenic Routes program and National Parks\, where world-class architecture supported through infrastructure has transformed how people experience remote landscapes. \nWhile there he met with local architects and learn from their experiences designing rest stops\, bridges\, parking areas and lookouts for Norway’s “Scenic Routes” system of carefully selected roads that prioritize nature\, innovative architecture\, and art. He sees\, “Norway’s scenic route system as a compelling model. It’s a great way to integrate architecture and design into scenic settings.” He says\, “I’m interested in the idea of storytelling in architecture\, and this project presents an opportunity to shape a larger narrative that impacts the area.” \nIAF Norway Collage\n“One of the key challenges of the Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail\,” he noted\, “is its lack of visibility and cohesive infrastructure. The exciting part of this project is finding the interesting ways history\, ecology and architecture intersect\,” he shared. “How can we take advantage of the site’s natural beauty\, promote it and expand its potential? The National Geologic Trail already features remarkable elements\, such as Maya Lin’s land art pieces that integrate seamlessly into nature. What it needs is a unifying vision to tie everything together. My goal is to contribute to growing tourism for this interesting and beautiful national park.” \nHe is using his Norway explorations along with travels along the Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail and experiences derived from OSU’s Gorge Naturalist Program to compile research\, develop documentation\, drawings and models with the hope of one day bringing those ideas to life for our Trail. \nIn this presentation\, Rand shares his discoveries for the potential of the Ice Age Floods trail. Drawing on the intersections of geology\, history\, and design\, he will present a vision for how thoughtful architecture and interpretation could bring this extraordinary landscape the public presence it deserves. This FREE presentation is sponsored by the Columbia River Gorge Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute. \nThe presentation begins at 7:00 PM\, Thursday\, April 30\, in the Sprint/Baker Gallery Room of the White Salmon Valley Community Library\, 77 NE Wauna Ave\, White Salmon\, WA 98672. \nRand Pinson\nRand Pinson\, AIA\, is a partner and architect at Pine Bureau\, a narrative-driven architecture practice. Rand has extensive experience across the US landscape and is an alumnus of the world-renowned Auburn University Rural Studio in Hale County\, Alabama. His professional work includes design-build projects at the Epicenter\, a nonprofit community design center he helped found in Utah; Lake Flato Architects in Texas; and Waec hter Architecture in Portland\, Oregon\, focusing on residential\, environmental\, and hospitality projects. His work has won numerous AIA awards and has been featured in international publications and exhibitions\, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Venice Biennale. Rand was named the 2025 Van Evera Bailey Fellow by the Architecture Foundation of Oregon.  Rand is a member of the Ice Age Floods Institute\, a Master Naturalist\, and a geology enthusiast. He is drawn to an architectural narrative that resonates in memory\, is responsive to the land and environment\, and is grounded to its time and place.

SUMMARY:Dr. Megan Anderson "What happens when you crash Iceland into North America? Mapping Washington's ancient tectonic pileup"
DESCRIPTION:Western Washington has been a location of intense geologic action for millions of years\, and it still is. This talk shows how geologists use the physics of Earth’s gravity and magnetic fields to map deeply-buried rocks which tell the story of ancient mountains now long-gone. The talk will also show how the subsurface architecture left behind continues to influence the geologic and earthquake activity of today.

SUMMARY:Mysteries of the Channeled Scablands and the two Detectives who Solved it.
DESCRIPTION:Giant Pothole near Washtucna\, WA\nOver 100 years ago\, scientists discovered the unique landscape of the Channeled Scablands of Washington. By studying clues in Montana\, Idaho\, Washington\, and Oregon\, two of them pieced together the evidence that led to their conclusion which was scoffed at by many of their colleagues. After more than 20 years of field study and overwhelming evidence\, most of the scientific community finally agreed with them.  \nSee how today\, new detectives are in the field with new technologies to unravel more of the mysteries of the Channeled Scablands.  \nLloyd Stoess\, President of the Palouse Fall Chapter of the IAFI\, will show pictures and explain the evidence of the enormous Missoula Floods that carved our landscape.  \nThis will also be available on Zoom: Join Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/89175830218 \nJoin instructions\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/meetings/89175830218/invitations?signature=A-eaOzzCh1jy5rfktTN7oAoucFkSE0aKCWq9f_DNyAs

SUMMARY:Spirit Lake: The Ice Age Missoula floods and the Spirit Lake giant current dune field
DESCRIPTION: Giant Current Dunes or MegaRipple Marks – One of Bretz’ most important pieces of evidence for catastrophic flooding was the “giant current dunes.” These large-scale bedforms appeared as patterns of parallel ridges and swales on many aerial photographs in the flood channels in the scabland of Washington\, but had escaped recognition from the ground because of their size.  \nGiant Current Dunes are visible west of Clark Fork near Castle Rock; however\, the most prominent and visible Giant Current Dunes are located several miles east of Spirit Lake along Hwy 54 where the highway cuts through the dunes showing their undulating profile. The location of many of the telephone poles on the crest of these dunes accentuates these landforms. The dunes form transverse to the current direction\, and form cusps that are convex upstream\, with arms that point downstream. Furthermore\, the size of the cusps appears to decrease in the direction of lower velocity. Internally\, the dunes consist of gravel and pebble foresets. \nGiant current dunes exhibit an asymmetrical profile with the downstream (lee) slope steeper than the upstream slope. Crests range from 20 to 200m apart and heights range from 1 to 15m (Baker and Nummedal\, 1978) and are among the largest measured throughout the Floods area. The Spirit Lake current dunes can also be easily recognized from the air by their characteristic pattern\, accentuated by vegetation. This dune field is immediately in the path of the breakout from Lake Pend Oreille\, and experienced some of the highest energy flows. \nPresented by Dr. Linda McCollum\, president of the Ice Age Floods Institute (IAFI)\, Cheney-Spokane Chapter \nRegistration is required.
