SUMMARY:Moses Coulee Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:This field trip will head north from Othello along the eastern edge of the Quincy Basin with stops on the Ephrata Fan and Soap Lake at the mouth of Grand Coulee. Moses Coulee parallels Grand Coulee to the west and has puzzled scientists to this day. Several plausible explanations to its origins have been proposed. This off-the-beat coulee is always a surprise to first time visitors.  \nOn the way back to Othello\, there will be stops at Potholes Coulee and Drumheller Channels which were two of the four outlets for the Missoula Floods exiting the Quincy Basin.  \nGo to www.othellosandhillcranefestival.com to sign up for this trip.

SUMMARY:Mega Floods\, Ice Ages\, Volcanic Eruptions\, Earthquakes\, and other things that could keep you awake at night but probably shouldn't
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will begin by defining what an Ice Age is and then looking at our dynamic planet and those major events that can lead to dramatic temperature changes. Also included will be a look at hazards here in the Pacific Northwest and why they occur.

SUMMARY:Mega-Floods of the World - The Legacy of Dr. Bretz' Work
DESCRIPTION:Researchers have established\, based on the pioneering work of Dr. J Harlen Bretz and JT Pardee\, that over 140 Ancient Mega-Flood\, including Noah’s Flood are discussed in oral traditions worldwide. Professional geologist Bill Burgel will briefly discuss how the research related to the Missoula Floods and Bonneville Flood has opened up the possibility of mega-floods being the most likely explanation for the formation of the Mediterranean Sea\, the Persian Gulf\, The Bosphorus Straits\, the English Channel\, Chimu in Peru and the floodwaters on Mars. Mega-flood events are also being cited for the draining of Glacial Lake Agassiz\, Glacial Lake Iroquois and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.

SUMMARY:Mystery of the Channeled Scablands and the Two Detectives who Solved it.
DESCRIPTION:    The unique landscape of the Channeled Scablands was a mystery that baffled the first geologists who visited them over 100 years ago. Finding clues\, they unraveled the mystery that was unbelievable to their colleagues. After more than two decades of discovering more clues\, the theory that enormous floods had carved the scabland was finally accepted by most of the scientific community.  \nLloyd Stoess\, President of the Palouse Falls Chapter\, will take you on a journey following these two early detectives and the clues they found as well as what today’s detectives and the modern tools they are using to better understand our incredible landscape.

SUMMARY:Quincy Basin Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:During the Missoula Floods the Quincy Basin was filled with flood waters mostly arriving through Grand Coulee and the Telford-Crab Creek Scabland Tract via Crab Creek. Some spillover from the Cheney-Palouse Scabland Tract also entered the basin through east-west coulees.  The flood water drained out of the basin in four places that will be visited on this car Caravan Tour – Crater/Lynch Coulee\, Potholes Coulee\, Frenchman Coulee\, and Drumheller Channels. Stops are also planned for Moses Lake\, the Ephrata Fan\, Soap Lake\, Lower Moses Coulee\, West Bar\, and Babcock Bench. \nFIELD TRIP REGISTRATION FORM    \nLIABILITY RELEASE FORM

SUMMARY:Course Changes of Inland NW Rivers Due to the Ice Age Floods
DESCRIPTION:Lloyd Stoess will present a free lecture with information showing how the Columbia\, Palouse\, and Yakima Rivers all had course changes during the last glacial period of the Ice Age.

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. After college\, Lloyd returned to Washtucna to work with his father in their family agricultural equipment manufacturing business where Lloyd still works today. \nLloyd was introduced to the Ice Age Floods Institute (IAFI) in 2001 and became a charter member of the Cheney-Palouse Chapter and later helped found the Palouse Falls Chapter in 2015 where he currently serves as President. In addition to the IAFI\, Lloyd stays busy with involvement in the local church\, Lions Club\, Adams County Economic Development Council\, and the Washtucna Heritage Museum/Community Center/Food Bank. \nA flyer is available for download. Can’t make this event? \nSee it in Ritzville on 9/6 at the Adams County Public Works Department @ 7p or in Colfax on 9/13 at the Whitman County Library @ 3:00p!
