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: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.
