SUMMARY:Dust in the Cockpit: Volcanic Ash Aviation Hazards
DESCRIPTION:Dust in the Cockpit: Volcanic Ash Aviation Hazards – The 50-Year Effort to Mitigate Them \n\nThe 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption was a watershed moment in our understanding of volcanic eruptions and their hazards. Among the lesser-known events during that summer was the first documented case of in-flight engine damage from volcanic ash on May 25\,1980. Two years later\, a 747 nearly crashed in Indonesia when it flew into an ash cloud from Galunggung Volcano and lost power to all four engines. \nA similar event in December\, 1989 at Redoubt Volcano\, Alaska finally convinced meteorologists\, air traffic regulators\, and volcanologists that we need a global infrastructure to detect volcanic ash clouds and communicate their trajectory to aviators. By around 2010 the infrastructure was in place. But it was shaken up again when the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokull sent an ash cloud to Europe\, shutting down the world’s heaviest airspace\, costing $5 billion dollars in economic loss. \nThis talk summarizes the ups and downs of these crises\, and describes our efforts to mitigate the hazard through better technology and communication. \nLarry G Mastin\, Ph.D\nSimultaneous Live/ZOOM presentation from Tualatin Heritage Center. If you cannot attend the in-person meeting at THC\, join us on-line. Thurs. July 18\, 7:00 PM PDT\nclick here to join zoom meeting \nMeeting ID: 869 4651 3479 Passcode: 322382 \nBiography: Larry Mastin\, PhD. is indeed a qualified authority on the topic being presented to us\, having devoted his entire career to it. He is employed by USGS Volcanic Laboratory in Vancouver\, WA. \nHis education is BS University of California at Davis cum laude in Geology. He received his Masters and Ph.D from Stanford University in Engineering Geology and Geomechanics respectively

SUMMARY:Exploration of Geomorphic Features in Lake Chelan with an Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV)
DESCRIPTION:The Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute will meet Tuesday\, June 11 at 7:00 PM\, at the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center\, 127 S. Mission\, Wenatchee. Or via Zoom link https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84520197937 \nOur speaker will be Philip Long of the Lake Chelan Research Institute (LCRI). Phil will talk about “Exploration of Geomorphic Features in Lake Chelan with an Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV)” \nSwath bathymetry\, chirp sub-bottom reflection profiles\, and sediment cores…. These were techniques recently used by the U.S. Geological Survey (June 2023) to collect data from Lake Chelan\, WA\, The resulting information has provided insights into late- and post-glacial history of Lake Chelan. In addition\, LCRI’s ROV dives have distinguished bedrock from till on lake bottom sediment profiles\, and have directly observed landslide scarps\, debris aprons\, and other geomorphic features of interest to many of us here. Some of the features on the bottom of Lake Chelan resemble surface glacial features we are familiar with on the Waterville Plateau! Moraines\, kames\, drumlins\, kettles\, underwater landslides…. \nFind out what’s going on at the bottom Lake Chelan! \n  \nThe program is free and open to the public. \nContact information:\nKen Lacy\n1geospiracle2@gmail.com\n(509) 787-9755 \nSusan Freiberg\nWenatchee Valley Erratics Publicity\nwenvalerratics@yahoo.com

SUMMARY:Dr. Jerome Lesemann Presents "Subglacial/proglacial mega floods from the Cordilleran Ice Sheet on the Channeled Scablands"
DESCRIPTION:From Wikipedia\nGlacial Lake Missoula is most commonly invoked as the sole source of water to form the Channeled Scabland. However\, early work by Bretz (and others) suggested more direct contributions of meltwater from the Cordilleran Ice Sheet to explain formation of some Scabland flood tracts. In some cases\, these contributions may have been subglacially routed.  \nThis presentation will examine new research on Moses Coulee – one of the more enigmatic Scabland coulees – that suggests subglacial meltwater flows best explain the erosional patterns of the coulee and its perplexing lack of connectivity to other Scabland flood routes. Further\, the presentation will examine new evidence for proglacial (Mega) floods during deglaciation of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet that may also contribute to formation of flood features such as giant bars along the Columbia River Valley. The presentation highlights the need for greater integration of Cordilleran Ice Sheet hydrology in the interpretive framework of the Channeled Scabland. As a workup to this presentation please familiarize yourself with the IAFI News article\, “Moses Coulee: Unveiling the Mystery of a Colossal Ice Age Scar“\, that gives an overview on this subject. \n \nDr. Jerome Lesemann obtained his PhD from Simon Fraser University. He currently teaches in the Earth Science Department at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo\, BC. His research interests are in Quaternary geology and sedimentology with a focus on glacier processes and ice sheet hydrology. He has had an interest in the Channeled Scabland for over two decades\, with a particular focus on the dynamics of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet along the northern reaches of the Channeled Scabland. \nDate: 20 May 2024 at 7:00pm\nLocation: Bellevue College\, Bldg.

SUMMARY:Ellensburg Field Trip - Wildhorse Wind/Solar to Vantage - May 18
DESCRIPTION:The Ellensburg Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute will host a field trip that covers the Vantage Highway corridor between the Wild Horse Wind & Solar Facility & Renewable Energy Center (east of Ellensburg) and Vantage on Saturday 18 May 2024. We will meet at Wildhorse Wind and Solar Facility and Renewable Energy Center parking lot at 11:00am on the 18th.  The trip will include stops at: \n \n\n\n\nGinkgo Petrified Forest\n\nRenewable Energy Center for a big picture view of geology and physical geography of the area;\nPumphouse Road to see impacts of past and current erosion (including that from the 2022 Vantage Highway Fire);\nGinkgo State Park Trees of Stone Interpretive Trail for the upper limit of Ice Age flooding in the area; and\nGinkgo State Park Interpretive Center for discussion on the petrified forest plus  impacts of Ice Age flooding along the present-day Columbia River channel.\n\nGiven that we will be field tripping on the 44th anniversary of the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens\, that story will also be woven into several field trip stops.  And if the weather stays somewhat cool and wet into May\, we should see plenty of wildflowers in the shrub steppe. \nThe weather prediction for Vantage on Saturday is sunny with a high of 75°F.  We will have several short (<0.75 mile) hikes over uneven ground on this trip.  Make sure to wear sturdy hiking shoes or boots\, dress for the weather\, wear a shade hat\, slather on sun screen\, and bring plenty of drinks.  You might want to bring hiking sticks if uneven ground poses problems for you.  I will wear long pants as we will be walking through weedy areas (esp. cheat grass) at Stop 2 and Stop 3. \nAs on past Ellensburg IAFI trips\, this is an automobile trip.  No need to sign up—just show up!  You will need a Discover Pass to park at three of the sites.  I will bring a limited number of hardcopy field guides.  You can also download or print out the field guide at https://www.cwu.edu/academics/geography/directory/_documents/east-of-ellensburg-field-trip.pdf.   \nIf you have questions\, feel free to contact Karl Lillquist at lillquis@cwu.edu.   Hope you can join us!

SUMMARY:David Ellingson - "Fossil Dig in Woodburn\, OR"
DESCRIPTION:The Willamette Valley at the time of the Ice Age Floods\, 18\,000 – 15\,000 years ago\, was backwater for massive floodwaters coming through the Columbia River Gorge multiple times. It was known as temporary Lake Allison for the geologist who first studied it as a lake. \n \nDavid Ellingson\, a biologist and paleontologist\, teaches paleontology at Woodburn High School in Woodburn Oregon. Here he has led his students in an ongoing dig for many years for fauna and megafauna fossil bones. The dig will continue in the same location starting in early July this summer. \nDavid has spoken to our group several times\, always bringing fossils for us to view. We look forward to welcoming David in-person & online for a very interesting evening. \nWhen: Thursday\, May 16\, 2024 @ 7:00 PM PDT\nWhere: Simultaneous In-Person Live and ZOOM presentation from\nTualatin Heritage Center\, 8700 SW Sweek Drive\, Tualatin\, OR 97062 \nFor more information contact: LowerColumbia@iafi.org \nIf you cannot attend the in-person meeting at THC\, please join us online\nClick here to join the Zoom meeting\nMeeting ID: 869 4651 3479 Passcode: 322382.

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:Geologist's Day - 1st Sunday in April
DESCRIPTION:Geologists Day\, a day dedicated to an underappreciated science\, takes place on the first Sunday in April every year. Without geologists\, we would know nothing about the over 4.5 billion year history of the earth. Geology is a science that studies the materials\, natural features\, and processes found on earth\, as well as the history of all life that’s ever lived. Geologists around the world have made an enormous contribution to our way of life by discovering and developing our natural resources of minerals\, hydrocarbons and water\, by understanding the evolution of our planet and our solar system\, by defining the evolution of life on Earth\, by identifying the risks associated with natural hazards such as earthquakes\, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions\, and by the technological and innovation spin-offs derived from many branches of geoscience such as geophysics and geochemistry. \nHistory of Geologists’ Day\nGeology\, or the study of the composition of rocks\, soil and other materials\, has been around since the times of Ancient Greece. In their pursuit of understanding the world around them\, Greek scientists\, who wondered how the rocks were formed\, began studying fossils and generating theories to go along with their ideas and research. Later\, during the Middle Ages\, when science was thought to have challenged the Catholic Church\, more advances came (albeit sometimes subversively) in the field of geology. During this time\, Leonardo da Vinci explored the functions of the human body but also\, one of his lesser-known pursuits\, is that he became a pioneer in geology. One of da Vinci’s interesting lines of research was related to fossils. He concluded that the fossils he and others had found embedded on mountain tops must have been from animals that swam on an ancient sea bed\, though none of them were exactly sure how they could have gotten there. During the 17th-century\, scientists began to make important links between certain sedimentary deposits in the oceans and the strata observable in rock formations. Much of the explanation as to how that happened\, however\, continued to remain a mystery until James Hutton and William ‘Strata’ Smith came along. These two well-known geologists helped find the explanation of the earth’s long and slow development over the course of thousands of years. Smith was also credited as the creator of the first\, geologically detailed\, national map of any country in the world. In this case\, the country was England and he has since become known as the ‘Father of English Geology’. \nGeologists’ Day\, itself\, was actually the idea of a group of well-known Soviet geologists who established it in April\, 1966. The day was chosen in the spring because it notes the end of winter and is a time that ramps up to the summer season field work when geologists are so active. While it continues to be a favorite day of the Russian Mineralogical Society\, the day eventually made its way beyond the former Soviet Union and began to be celebrated by geologists\, geophysicists and geochemists in various places in Europe\, the United States and other countries around the world. \nHow to Celebrate Geologists’ Day\nHeld on the first Sunday in April\, the celebration of Geologists’ Day can be fun for professional rock lovers and hobbyists alike! This day strives to help further the study of how the earth came to be. Geologists’ Day is all about learning the history of the earth\, the geologists who studied the earth\, and helping to inspire people out there to study geology. \nLearn More About Geology\nGive a nod to Geologists’ Day by learning a bit about what the discipline of geology is and how it works. Digging in rocks\, observing maps\, and studying how they all came to be is what a geologist’s job is all about. Make use of these online resources to learn more about geology: \n\nIce Age Floods Institute website\nThe Geological Society of America\nSociety of Economic Geologists\nInternational Association for Promoting Geoethics\n\nThose who are even more interested might take the time to join a few online classes to further their studies. Take a look into the history of geologists\, what they believed about the earth at the time they lived. If it turns out there’s an inner rock-lover in there\, just waiting to get out\, why not go for a degree while you’re at it?! \nShow Appreciation to a Geologist\nGeologists’ Day aims to show appreciation for the geologists that continue to study rocks and all their formations. In fact\, this is the perfect day to gather with some friends or family to thank some of those favorite geologists\, or even just a science teacher\, who may have made a difference in the understanding of the world we live in. \nListen to a Geology Themed Playlist\nHop onto Spotify or another favorite music hosting site and enjoy these songs that are reminiscent of the study of the earth\, rocks\, landslides and all the beautiful things that go along with geology: \n\nWe Will Rock You (1977) Queen\nThe Geologists are Coming! (2017) The Amoeba People\nLandslide (1975) Fleetwood Mac\nThe Petroleum Age (2011) Philip Gibbs\nGeology Rocks (2017) Los Beekeepers\nUranium Rock (1973) Warren Smith\nSweet Geology (aka The Mineral Song) (2007) The Akkademiks\n\nShare Geology Day with Friends\nShow appreciation for the studies of geologists by sharing this holiday with friends and family. Go big by throwing a geology party\, or keep it small by simply gifting friends or coworkers with a small stone or rock as a token of the day. Whatever method is chosen\, just the acknowledgment of this day is a step in the right direction toward appreciating the earth and its scientists! \n(credit https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/geologists-day/)

SUMMARY:The Spokane Aquifer: Legacy of the Ice Age Floods
DESCRIPTION:The Spokane Aquifer is a legacy from the giant Ice Age floods that roared through the Spokane Valley\, leaving behind a porous\, coarse gravel that hosts our communities’ water supply. The Aquifer story includes tales of fascinating\, unique geologic processes and community historical events that formed and harnessed this resource. \nPresented by Geologist Michael Hamilton from the Ice Age Floods Institute

SUMMARY:Ice Age Floodscapes of the Pacific Northwest
DESCRIPTION:Ice Age Floodscapes of the Pacific Northwest: A photographic exploration \nGeologist 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. \n \nBruce 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”. Bruce will have books available for purchase. \nThis presentation is free to attend. It begins at 7 pm\, Tuesday\, February 20\, at the REACH Museum\, 1943 Columbia Park Trail\, Richland\, WA\nOr join the Zoom Meeting\, 7PM – 8:30PM \nPlease note\, the Zoom link that was listed before Feb. 8 was a mistake\, the correct link is:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/88136774109?pwd=zLCbrWxCXIzqJ5TK2bNshKCtRCCaRh.1\nMeeting ID: 881 3677 4109\nPasscode: 726292

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
