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:Special Meeting of the IAFI Ellensburg Chapter
DESCRIPTION:Dear Members\, Former Members\, and Friends\, \nI trust this message finds you in good health and spirits. I’m Mike Doran\, a fellow member of the Ellensburg Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute\, and I’m reaching out to you with an important invitation. \nOur chapter has a storied past filled with enriching field trips\, captivating lectures\, and engaging speakers. However\, it’s time for us to refocus our efforts and ensure that we’re set for continued growth and success in the future. \nTo achieve this\, a dedicated group of us has been actively discussing strategies and ideas. Now\, we’re eager to invite you to join us for a special meeting where we can gather your invaluable input\, ideas\, and concerns. Your participation\, in any capacity you choose\, is vital as we navigate our path forward. \nWe’re fortunate that Karl Lillquist has arranged for us to convene on Friday\, April 5th\, at 4:30 PM in a meeting room at Dean Hall on the Central campus. (Please note that parking restrictions on campus ease after 4:30 PM as there is no cost then. Use parking lot O-5. Just be sure to park in General Parking slots and not Staff slots. ) The meeting time aligns perfectly with Nick’s Bretz lectures\, providing an ideal opportunity for us to meet before attending his 7:00 PM talk. \nDuring our gathering\, we’ll create an open forum for discussion and have light refreshments available. Additionally\, we will be conducting elections for the following officer positions: Secretary\, Vice-President\, and President. This is an excellent opportunity for members to get involved and help shape the future direction of our organization. \nWhether you’re interested in taking an active role in the organization\, standing for election\, or simply wish to share your thoughts\, your presence will be immensely valued. Together\, we aim to bolster Karl and Nick’s efforts and ensure the sustained success of our chapter. \nWe’re genuinely excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and eagerly anticipate seeing you there. \nShould you have any questions or concerns beforehand\, please feel free to reach out to me at 253-278-3470.\nWarm regards\,\nMike Doran

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.

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: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: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!

Composed of local volunteers and resources\, avocational paleontologists\, land owners\, and local government working alongside trained professionals and museum staff\, our goal is to discover\, study and preserve our prehistoric past. \nEvery fossil is collected according to scientific standards\, documented\, stabilized and curated into a database open to the public. The entire collection is destined to stay within the public domain and will ultimately be donated to an appropriate educational institution. \nJoin us beforehand at 6:30PM for a special Library Tour of Ice Age fossils on display. Mike’s talk will follow in large Meeting Room at Library entrance. Library Director\, Jerianne Thompson\, will give tour of unique megafauna ice age fossils on permanent display. Please note the Library closes at 8PM sharp. \nMike is a retired Police Officer and native Oregonian with a life long fascination of fossils and prehistoric life. Each summer finds him along a river in the Willamette Valley searching for fossils accompanied by friends\, volunteers\, students and researchers. He has collected megafauna fossils from the Willamette Valley including mammoth\, mastodon\, giant ground sloth\, bison\, horse\, camel\, elk\, deer\, giant beaver and wolf.

SUMMARY:TLS: Connell - The Five Great Lakes of the Missoula Floods
DESCRIPTION:The return of the traveling lecture series! Chapter President Lloyd Stoess will review both Glacial Lake Missoula and Glacial Lake Columbia. Although both of these lakes formed for the same reason their history is very different. When the waters in Glacial Lake Missoula were catastrophically released\, they entered the Columbia River drainage system. On their way to the Pacific Ocean\, the floodwaters were restricted at three different locations forming three temporary lakes. This presentation will give an overview of all of these five great lakes and is a pre-cursor to our fall bus tour that will be coming up on October 7th. Attend one or both\, the choice is yours! \nLloyd grew up on a wheat farm eight miles from Palouse Falls but didn’t learn about the Ice Age Floods until he attended EWSC (now EWU) where he graduated in 1974 with a BA in Geography.
