SUMMARY:Dr. Vic Baker: Martian Megafloods: Investigating the Ice Age Floods Helped Understand Ancient Mars
DESCRIPTION:Lower Columbia Chapter hosts Dr. Victor R. Baker presenting: “Martian Megafloods: How Investigating the Ice Age Floods Helped Advance Geological Understanding of Ancient Mars” \nDr. Baker collecting samples\nA few billion years ago the planet Mars was somewhat similar in its surface environmental conditions to the Ice Age Earth. At that time Mars had lakes\, flowing rivers\, glaciers\, and even a kind of planetary ocean\, the Ocean Borealis. This relatively recent understanding of Ancient Mars was partly achieved because of geological studies of the ice age floods that created the Channeled Scablands landscape of eastern Washington. This talk will focus on some of my personal experience with the relevant geological investigations and discoveries of the past 55 years. \nThis will be a simultaneous Live/ZOOM presentation Thursday\, August 15\, 7:00 PM PDT\, from Tualatin Heritage Center\, 8700 SW Sweek Drive\, Tualatin\, OR 97062.\nIf you cannot attend the in-person meeting at THC\, join us on-line: click here to join zoom meeting\,\nMeeting ID: 869 4651 3479 Passcode: 322382\nFor more information contact: LowerColumbia@iafi.org \nDr. Baker at the Channeled Scablands\nOur speaker: Dr. Victor R. Baker is Regents Professor of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences\, Geosciences and Planetary Sciences\, University of Arizona. Dr. Baker has authored or co-authored about 1200 scientific contributions\, including 22 books and monographs\, 450 research articles and chapters\, 560 abstracts and short research reports. His research concerns paleoflood hydrology (a field of study he defined in the 1970’s and 1980’s); flood geomorphology; channels\, valleys and geomorphic features on Mars and Venus; catastrophic Pleistocene megaflooding in the northwestern U.S. and central Asia; history/philosophy of Earth and planetary sciences; and the interface of environmental science with public policy. \nDr. Baker has received many honors in geology and geomorphology\, and he has supervised more than 70 graduate students\, including 31 for the P.hD. degree. His work on megafloods has been featured in multiple television documentaries\, including the 2005 NOVA production “Mystery of the Megaflood” and the 2017 NOVA production “Volatile Earth” episode on “Killer Floods.”

SUMMARY:Mapping the Glacial Legacy of the Pacific Northwest
DESCRIPTION:The Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute will meet Tuesday\, August 13 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 Daniel Coe\, graphics editor for the Washington Geological Survey in Olympia; and an editor for the North American Cartographic Information Society’s Atlas of Design. He will talk about “Mapping the Glacial Legacy of the Pacific Northwest.” \nGlaciers have shaped much of the Pacific Northwest’s landscape over the past 15\,000 years. The Cordilleran ice sheet\, repeated ice age floods\, and expansive alpine glaciation have left their distinctive fingerprints on the topography of our region. Geologists and cartographers have been mapping and interpreting glacial landforms since the late 19th century. In the past decade\, the Washington Geological Survey has created new maps that build upon this rich cartographic history by fusing older datasets and techniques with modern insights and technology\, such as lidar. \nUsing both historical and modern maps\, this presentation will be a visual journey through the Pacific Northwest’s glacial past and present. \nYou can see Daniel’s work at dancoecarto.com \nThe program is free and open to the public. \n

SUMMARY:When Yellowstone was in Oregon: A Talk by Bill Burgel
DESCRIPTION:Bill Burgel\, retired railroad geologist\, will present a talk on “When Yellowstone was in Oregon”\, on Tuesday evening\, July 30\, beginning at 5:30 at the White Salmon Valley Community Library. \nApproximately 50 million years ago\, an island the size of Iceland docked onto the west coast of North American. That island was formed similar to the formation of modern-day Iceland\, which is being created by a relatively rare combination of mid-ocean ridge volcanism coinciding with a mantle plume. \nAfter colliding with the continent in the area of present-day Oregon\, this Iceland-like land mass\, now known as Siletzia (southern half) and Yakutat (northern half now in Alaska)\, was scraped off the subducting oceanic crust and imbedded on the west coast of the continent. \nAs the North American continent continued moving westward the motion of now-attached Siletzia was reversed. But the motion of the mantle plume continued its relative motion in the eastward direction\, creating volcanoes and calderas on the as the North American plate moved west over it. \nBill will explain the circuitous path the plume took through Oregon\, creating the Crooked River Caldera (including Smith Rock State Park)\, then into SE Oregon creating the voluminous Columbia River Flood Basalts before exiting Oregon around 16-million-years ago to form the McDermitt Volcanic area in Nevada\, the home of one of the world’s largest lithium deposits. Afterward\, the plume’s relative path motion was directly through Idaho\, forming the Snake River Plain\, arriving at its current temporary location in Yellowstone. \n \nThis saga\, though geologically complex\, is a fascinating one that will help you make sense of the new research into the 50 million year-long journey of the Yellowstone Hot Spot! \nBill Burgel\nAbout Bill Burgel – Bill retired in 2010 after a successful 40-year career working for several railroads in both the engineering and operating departments. His work for Union Pacific encompassed the design of the first computer-aided dispatching office in the nation. This office was located in Portland and Bill was the Regional Chief Dispatcher for several years before the office was moved to Omaha. \nWhile working for the railroad\, his interest and training in geology was often called upon to resolve landslide issues and rerouting studies\, implement early earthquake warning strategies\, and conduct numerous long railroad tunnel analyses. Bill has given numerous presentations on rail issues as well as earthquake preparedness and topics pertaining to regional geology to local audiences throughout the Pacific Northwest. \nAfter retiring from the railroad in 1989\, he assisted the Surface Transportation Board as their rail operations manager for two major mergers\, once in Washington DC and the second time in Chicago. Bill has managed many rail studies for both Oregon and Washington DOTs as well as for TriMet and Sound Transit in Seattle.

SUMMARY:Dust in the Cockpit: Volcanic Ash Aviation Hazards
DESCRIPTION:Dust in the Cockpit: Volcanic Ash Aviation Hazards – The 50-Year Effort to Mitigate Them \n\nThe 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption was a watershed moment in our understanding of volcanic eruptions and their hazards. Among the lesser-known events during that summer was the first documented case of in-flight engine damage from volcanic ash on May 25\,1980. Two years later\, a 747 nearly crashed in Indonesia when it flew into an ash cloud from Galunggung Volcano and lost power to all four engines. \nA similar event in December\, 1989 at Redoubt Volcano\, Alaska finally convinced meteorologists\, air traffic regulators\, and volcanologists that we need a global infrastructure to detect volcanic ash clouds and communicate their trajectory to aviators. By around 2010 the infrastructure was in place. But it was shaken up again when the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokull sent an ash cloud to Europe\, shutting down the world’s heaviest airspace\, costing $5 billion dollars in economic loss. \nThis talk summarizes the ups and downs of these crises\, and describes our efforts to mitigate the hazard through better technology and communication. \nLarry G Mastin\, Ph.D\nSimultaneous Live/ZOOM presentation from Tualatin Heritage Center.

July 18\, 7:00 PM PDT\nclick here to join zoom meeting \nMeeting ID: 869 4651 3479 Passcode: 322382 \nBiography: Larry Mastin\, PhD. is indeed a qualified authority on the topic being presented to us\, having devoted his entire career to it. He is employed by USGS Volcanic Laboratory in Vancouver\, WA. \nHis education is BS University of California at Davis cum laude in Geology.

SUMMARY:Exploration of Geomorphic Features in Lake Chelan with an Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV)
DESCRIPTION:The Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute will meet Tuesday\, June 11 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 will be Philip Long of the Lake Chelan Research Institute (LCRI). Phil will talk about “Exploration of Geomorphic Features in Lake Chelan with an Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV)” \nSwath bathymetry\, chirp sub-bottom reflection profiles\, and sediment cores…. These were techniques recently used by the U.S. Geological Survey (June 2023) to collect data from Lake Chelan\, WA\, The resulting information has provided insights into late- and post-glacial history of Lake Chelan. In addition\, LCRI’s ROV dives have distinguished bedrock from till on lake bottom sediment profiles\, and have directly observed landslide scarps\, debris aprons\, and other geomorphic features of interest to many of us here. Some of the features on the bottom of Lake Chelan resemble surface glacial features we are familiar with on the Waterville Plateau! Moraines\, kames\, drumlins\, kettles\, underwater landslides…. \nFind out what’s going on at the bottom Lake Chelan! \n  \nThe program is free and open to the public. \nContact information:\nKen Lacy\n1geospiracle2@gmail.com\n(509) 787-9755 \nSusan Freiberg\nWenatchee Valley Erratics Publicity\nwenvalerratics@yahoo.com

SUMMARY:Dr. Jerome Lesemann Presents "Subglacial/proglacial mega floods from the Cordilleran Ice Sheet on the Channeled Scablands"
DESCRIPTION:From Wikipedia\nGlacial Lake Missoula is most commonly invoked as the sole source of water to form the Channeled Scabland. However\, early work by Bretz (and others) suggested more direct contributions of meltwater from the Cordilleran Ice Sheet to explain formation of some Scabland flood tracts. In some cases\, these contributions may have been subglacially routed.  \nThis presentation will examine new research on Moses Coulee – one of the more enigmatic Scabland coulees – that suggests subglacial meltwater flows best explain the erosional patterns of the coulee and its perplexing lack of connectivity to other Scabland flood routes. Further\, the presentation will examine new evidence for proglacial (Mega) floods during deglaciation of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet that may also contribute to formation of flood features such as giant bars along the Columbia River Valley. The presentation highlights the need for greater integration of Cordilleran Ice Sheet hydrology in the interpretive framework of the Channeled Scabland. As a workup to this presentation please familiarize yourself with the IAFI News article\, “Moses Coulee: Unveiling the Mystery of a Colossal Ice Age Scar“\, that gives an overview on this subject. \n \nDr. Jerome Lesemann obtained his PhD from Simon Fraser University. He currently teaches in the Earth Science Department at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo\, BC. His research interests are in Quaternary geology and sedimentology with a focus on glacier processes and ice sheet hydrology. He has had an interest in the Channeled Scabland for over two decades\, with a particular focus on the dynamics of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet along the northern reaches of the Channeled Scabland. \nDate: 20 May 2024 at 7:00pm\nLocation: Bellevue College\, Bldg.

SUMMARY:David Ellingson - "Fossil Dig in Woodburn\, OR"
DESCRIPTION:The Willamette Valley at the time of the Ice Age Floods\, 18\,000 – 15\,000 years ago\, was backwater for massive floodwaters coming through the Columbia River Gorge multiple times. It was known as temporary Lake Allison for the geologist who first studied it as a lake. \n \nDavid Ellingson\, a biologist and paleontologist\, teaches paleontology at Woodburn High School in Woodburn Oregon. Here he has led his students in an ongoing dig for many years for fauna and megafauna fossil bones. The dig will continue in the same location starting in early July this summer. \nDavid has spoken to our group several times\, always bringing fossils for us to view. We look forward to welcoming David in-person & online for a very interesting evening. \nWhen: Thursday\, May 16\, 2024 @ 7:00 PM PDT\nWhere: Simultaneous In-Person Live and ZOOM presentation from\nTualatin Heritage Center\, 8700 SW Sweek Drive\, Tualatin\, OR 97062 \nFor more information contact: LowerColumbia@iafi.org \nIf you cannot attend the in-person meeting at THC\, please join us online\nClick here to join the Zoom meeting\nMeeting ID: 869 4651 3479 Passcode: 322382.

SUMMARY:45th Parallel’s Concert: Lost in Deep Time. April 12\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:This live musical experience immerses the musicians and audience in large-scale projections of landscapes animated to the contemporary classical program. Using photogrammetry and LiDAR\, the scenes are rendered in three-dimensional point clouds that animate to reveal the sculptural aspects of the geology and landforms. \nThe second half of the evening’s program is “He Who Saw the Deep\,” which are five studies for a larger piece in development about the ice age floods. Principally drawing on floodscapes in the Channeled Scablands\, these five works explore the enigmatic landscapes that inspired J Harlen Bretz’s cataclysmic flood theory set to a musical program performed by Pyxis Quartet.\n\n\n\n\nFriday\, April 12\, 2024 at 7:00PM\nStraub Collaborative\n3333 NW Industrial St\, Portland\, ORMore information can be found here.  \nGet your tickets at 45th Parallel website.\nWORKS\nAndy Akiho: Prospects of a Misplaced Year \nPERFORMERS\nRon Blessinger\, violin\nGreg Ewer\, violin\nCharles Noble\, viola\nMarilyn de Oliviera\, cello\nYoko Greeney\, piano\nBrad Johnson\, visual artist\n\n\n\n\nMeanwhile\, enjoy this trailer video

SUMMARY:Cheney at the Head of Channeled Scablands
DESCRIPTION:In this overview\, learn about the history of the Channeled Scablands. We look back to around 20\,000 years ago at the end of the last glacial maximum and at the formation of two huge\, glacially dammed\, meltwater glacial lakes—Missoula and Columbia. We explore the subsequent failures of the Lake Missoula ice dam\, which resulted in a series of megafloods that occurred between 18\,000 and 14\,000 years ago. Then\, we discuss the geologic and hydrologic factors that control lake formations from the Medical Lake area to Fish Lake.  \nPresented by Dr. Linda McCollum\, professor emeritus of geosciences at EWU and of the Ice Age Floods Institute

SUMMARY:Dr. Scott Burns - Ancient Ice Age Floods Before the Missoula Floods
DESCRIPTION:Come and Learn About The Unfolding Story of Ancient Ice Age Floods in the Pacific Northwest \nAges End – Stev Ominski\nWe have had Ice Age Floods in the Pacific Northwest over the past 2.8 million years. We mostly concentrate on the last ones which are called the Missoula Floods that happened between 15\,000-20\,000 years ago. But there is an unfolding story in the Pacific Northwest of many Ice Age Floods before the Missoula Floods. Erica Medley\, an MS student of Scott Burns\, did her thesis on the topic and discovered many outcrops of these ancient floods which are rarely discussed. Dr. Burns will talk about these oft-forgotten floods and the very interesting story of these neglected Ancient Ice Age Floods in the Pacific Northwest \nCome and learn more about these very interesting older Ice Age Floods\,\nThursday\, Feb. 15\, 2024 at 7:00 PM (Pacific Time)\nLive at Tualatin Heritage Center\, 8700 SW Sweek Dr.\, Tualatin\, OR 97062\nOr on Zoom – Click here to join via ZOOM\nMeeting ID: 827 0148 6070 Passcode: 265961 \nDr. Scott Burns taught geology for 54 years in Switzerland\, New Zealand\, Washington\, Colorado and Louisiana before coming in 1990 to Portland State University. He loves talking about the geology of the Pacific Northwest and this subject that is so many times neglected.\nProfessor Emeritus of Engineering Geology\, Portland State University\nPresident IAEG (International Association of Engineering Geologist and the Environment)\nMember Board of Directors\, Lower Columbia Chapter Ice Age Floods Institute.\nCo-Author revised Second Edition: “Cataclysms on the Columbia”\nEmail: BurnsS@pdx.edu Telephone: (503} 725-3389 Website: http://dr-scott-burns.com

SUMMARY:JT Pardee and the Lake He Discovered - Talk by Bill Burgel
DESCRIPTION:The Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter’s next program will be Tuesday\, February 13 at 7:00 PM. Our speaker will present live at the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center\, 127 S. Mission\, Wenatchee. There is also a Zoom link so one can watch remotely: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84520197937 Webinar ID: 845 2019 7937. \nJoseph T. Pardee\nBill Burgel is coming up from Portland to tell us about “Joseph T. Pardee and Glacial Lake Missoula.” Pardee was a USGS Field Geologist whose expertise was in Western Montana\, where he was raised and worked for years. He was the first to recognize\, around 1910\, the features of a vast\, ancient Glacial Lake Missoula. \nIn the 1920s\, working independently of Pardee\, Harlan Bretz had determined from field evidence\, that only an extraordinarily huge flood\, or floods\, could have carved out the Channeled Scablands and the big coulees associated with them in eastern and central Washington. But he didn’t know the source of the water. Pardee quipped that he “knew the source of Bretz’ water.” In 1925\, he suggested to Bretz that the draining of a glacial lake could account for the magnitude of water flows needed to create the Scablands and coulees. \nThe program is free\, and open to the public.\n—- \nBill Burgel worked in the railroad industry for 40 years\, in engineering and operations. With his background and training in geology\, he was often called upon to resolve landslide issues and rerouting studies\, earthquake warning strategies\, and to conduct long tunnel analyses. \nContact information:\nBrent Cunderla – Erratics Chapter President\ncunderla@nwi.net  (509) 860-6067 \nSusan D.

SUMMARY:Spirit Whales and Sloth Tales: Fossils in Washington State
DESCRIPTION:The Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute’s next program will be Tuesday\, December 12 at 7:00 PM. This is a hybrid program\, with the speakers presenting remotely via Zoom from Seattle. For those who are not computer- or Zoom-savvy\, you can attend in-person for a screening at the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center\, 127 S. Mission\, Wenatchee. Or at home via Zoom link:  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84520197937 Webinar ID: 845 2019 7937 \nIn Washington\, you are never far from the past\, including evidence of plants and animals that came before. Fossil flowers in Republic. Trilobites near the Idaho border. Primitive horses on the Columbia Plateau. Tracks of giant birds near Bellingham. Curious bear-like creatures on the Olympic Peninsula. With abundant and well-exposed rock layers\, Washington has fossils dating from Ice Age mammals from only 12\,000 years ago\, to marine invertebrates more than 500 million years old. \nJoin co-authors Dr. Liz Nesbitt and David B. Williams as they discuss this rich array of past life\, which is featured in their new book\, “Spirit Whales and Sloth Tales: Fossils in Washington State“— the first book ever on fossils in the state! Why did they choose the fossils they did? What is the new science that has allowed paleontologists to tease out the 500-million-year long story of life in this region? \nLiz Nesbitt is curator emerita of invertebrate and micropaleontology at the Burke Museum. David B. Williams is an author\, naturalist\, tour guide\, and Curatorial Associate at the Burke Museum. \nPlease sign in\, or show up\, at 7:00 PM\, December 12! The program is free and open to the public.

DESCRIPTION:Bill Burgel will lead you on a 45 minute long travelogue – starting in the Columbia River Gorge and ending south of Tualatin – of all the amazing geology produced by the Missoula Floods. Did you know one of the largest scour pits formed by the floods is right here in Portland? And\, why Rockwood got its name? This Travelogue will be available should you want to visit each of these sights. \nBill Burgel – “Where to See Evidence of the Missoula Floods in the Greater Portland Area”\nThursday\, November 16\, 2023. In Person 6:45PM PST at Tualatin Heritage Center\, 8700 SW Sweek Drive\, Tualatin\, OR 97062\nALSO Simultaneous Live ZOOM from THC if you cannot attend the in-person THC meeting yourself.\nClick here to join zoom meeting  Meeting ID: 824 3786 3054 Passcode: 487685. \nBill Burgel\nBill Burgel Bio\nBill Burgel retired from the railroad industry after a successful forty year career. He worked for several railroads in the engineering and operating departments. His work for Union Pacific encompassed the design of the first computer-aided dispatching office in the nation. This office was located in Portland and Bill was the Regional Chief Dispatcher for several years before the office was moved to Omaha. After retiring from the railroad in 1989\, he assisted the Surface Transportation Board as their rail operations manager for two major mergers\, once in Washington DC and the second time in Chicago. Bill has managed many rail studies for both Oregon and Washington DOTs as well as for TriMet and Sound Transit in Seattle. \nWhile working for the railroad\, his interest and training in geology was often called upon to resolve landslide issues and rerouting studies\, implement early earthquake warning strategies\, and conduct numerous long railroad tunnel analyses. Bill has given numerous presentations on rail issues as well as earthquake preparedness and topics pertaining to regional geology to local audiences throughout the Pacific Northwest including Geologic Society of the Oregon Country\, University of Oregon\, Portland State University\, Central Oregon Geologic Society\, Ice Age Floods Institute – several chapters\, plus many other groups. \nBill is a graduate of The University Michigan: BS in Engineering. At Idaho State University\, he earned MS Degree in Structural Geology. Bill is a member of the IAFI Lower Columbia Chapter and its Board of Directors. \nThis is our last regular meeting in 2023. We will not meet in December since our regular meetings on the third Thursday of each month is so close to the Christmas Holiday. Thank you all for your support and attendance at Lower Columbia Chapter/IAFI programs and events as we enter our 20th consecutive year in 2024. Best wishes for a very happy holiday season.
