Ice Age Floodscapes of the Pacific Northwest: A photographic exploration Geologist and author Bruce Bjornstad will present a bird's eye view of the Ice Age megafloods that impacted the Pacific Northwest as recently as 14,000 years ago and shaped the landscape of the mid-Columbia basin. Bruce's presentation will be a stunning picture show of amazing drone photos from all over the Pacific NW flood plain. This will be  a hybrid meeting, live and livestreamed via ZOOM, on Tuesday evening at 7PM. We will post it to Youtube after editing.  It will be great. Bruce Bjornstad is a retired geologist with degrees from the University of New Hampshire and Eastern Washington University living in Richland, Washington. During his career Bjornstad has written numerous documents and reports on the geology of eastern Washington as well as two geologic guidebooks "On the Trail of the Ice Age Floods" that tell of the transformation of the Pacific Northwest as recently as 14,000 years ago. Bjornstad is also the creator of the online YouTube Channel  “Ice Age Floodscapes”. Most recently, Bjornstad has published a new, full-color, coffee-table-style book titled: “Ice Age Floodscapes of the Pacific Northwest: A Photographic Exploration”.

Join in to Learn About The Unfolding Story of Ancient Ice Age Floods in the Pacific Northwest Ages End - Stev Ominski We 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 Join on Zoom to learn more about these very interesting older Ice Age Floods, Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2024 at 7:00 PM (Pacific Time) Only on Zoom - Click Here to Join Zoom Meeting Meeting ID: 867 5486 6921 Passcode: 342192 One tap mobile: +12532158782,,86754866921# Meeting ID: 867 5486 6921 Find your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kdugrTW42K Dr. 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.
