SUMMARY:The Missoula Floods and the SVRP Aquifer
DESCRIPTION:The Lake Lewis chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute will host a free Zoom lecture exploring the dramatic creation of the Spokane Valley – Rathdrum Prairie (SVRP) Aquifer! As part of our 2026 public lecture series exploring key features along the path of the Missoula Floods\, we’ll investigate the vast and vital groundwater system that continues to supply water to hundreds of thousands of people. We’ll explore the impact of the ancient floods on the creation of the SVRP and some of the unique qualities of this important resource. \nThis event is free to attend. You can also join and/or donate to IAFI through https://iafi.org/join-iafi/ or donate to the IAFI K-12 Education Grant Program through https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/donate-to-iafi-k-12-education-grant-program. \nThe Zoom meeting details are below: \nJoin Zoom Meeting:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/86098163242?pwd=mtywXwg321VtUNvAogFYx5xnK8aF13.1 \nMeeting ID: 860 9816 3242\nPasscode: 488690

SUMMARY:Geology of the Tri-Cities Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:The Lake Lewis Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute is sponsoring an informal (carpool) field trip focus on the geology in and around Richland\, Washington.  \nWe will leave from the southwest portion of the Richland Community Center (500 Amon Park Dr.\, Richland\, WA 99352) parking lot (nearest to Wake-Up Coffee House).  Please try to arrive by 8:45 AM so that we can get organized into as few vehicles as possible and be ready to leave by 9:00 am.  We will try to get back around 3:30 or 4:00 pm. \nThis field trip will examine the geologic materials\, processes\, and history of the Tri-City area\, including exposures of the massive Columbia River basalts\, ancestral Columbia River and Yakima River deposits (including the Ringold Formation)\, old sequences of Ice Age flood deposits (some greater than 780\,000 years old)\, as well as young Ice Age flood deposits and loess exposed at the  Coyote Canyon Mammoth Site.  There will be 5 or 6 main stops\, with some cross-country hiking (up to 1.3 miles) on unimproved game trails.  Some areas are pretty steep\, with uneven terrain and loose gravel\, presenting slip\, trip and fall hazards.  Other physical hazards can also be present in places\, including rusty nails\, glass\, sharp metal\, wood\, and masonry debris.  There is also the potential for biological hazards such as ticks\, yellowjackets\, black widows\, scorpions\, rattlesnakes\, and the ever-present cheat grass.  \nPlease bring a lunch\, snacks\, water\, etc. and be sure to dress appropriately for the weather conditions and for walking in uneven terrain.  Wear sturdy shoes (no open toes\, sandals\, or flip-flops!)\, bring an extra layer of clothing\, and be prepared for wind\, rain\, or sun.  If it’s sunny and hot\, you’ll need a hat and sunscreen.  Oh\, and be sure to bring a camera! \nThe field trip is free.  However\, carpooling and ride cost sharing are encouraged.  You can also join and/or donate to IAFI through https://iafi.org/join-iafi/ or donate to the IAFI K-12 Education Grant Program through https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/donate-to-iafi-k-12-education-grant-program. \nPlease contact George Last (gvlast@charter.net) if you would like to attend or if you have any questions.
