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:Bill Burgel Lecture- Missoula Floods Evidence in the Greater Portland Area
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.

SUMMARY:The Other Half of the Equation: JT Pardee and the Lake He Discovered
DESCRIPTION:Bill Burgel\nWhile J Harlen Bretz was exploring the Scablands with his grad students\, Joseph Pardee was quietly amassing convincing data about the existence of Glacial Lake Missoula. Pardee’s work ultimately led to acceptance of Bretz’ theory of catastrophic outburst flooding as an important tool in the shaping of our world. Come hear Bill Burgel in person discuss JT Pardee’s critical role in the evolution of the science of geology! \nThis presentation is In-Person Only on Thursday\, October 19\, 2023 at 7:00PM\,\nat Tualatin Heritage Center\, 8700 SW Sweek Drive\, Tualatin\, OR 97062 \nAbout our presenter: Bill Burgel \nBill retired from the railroad industry after a successful 40 year career.

SUMMARY:Mike Full - In Search of Ice Age Beasts - Library Tour Beforehand
DESCRIPTION:Mike and Volunteers with Grey Wolf jaw bone\nMike Full will present an introduction to the Ice Age Megafauna found in the Willamette Valley and the basics of fossil hunting for them. Mike’s presentation will be 7:00 – 7:45PM in the Tualatin Public Library meeting room. \nColumbian Mammoth partial tusk socket fossil\nThe Willamette Valley Pleistocene Project explores the late Pleistocene and early Holocene of the Willamette Valley in Northwest Oregon. 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.
