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

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:JT Pardee and the Lake He Discovered - Talk by Bill Burgel
DESCRIPTION:The Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter’s next program will be Tuesday\, February 13 at 7:00 PM. Our speaker will present live at the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center\, 127 S. Mission\, Wenatchee. There is also a Zoom link so one can watch remotely: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84520197937 Webinar ID: 845 2019 7937. \nJoseph T. Pardee\nBill Burgel is coming up from Portland to tell us about “Joseph T. Pardee and Glacial Lake Missoula.” Pardee was a USGS Field Geologist whose expertise was in Western Montana\, where he was raised and worked for years. He was the first to recognize\, around 1910\, the features of a vast\, ancient Glacial Lake Missoula. \nIn the 1920s\, working independently of Pardee\, Harlan Bretz had determined from field evidence\, that only an extraordinarily huge flood\, or floods\, could have carved out the Channeled Scablands and the big coulees associated with them in eastern and central Washington. But he didn’t know the source of the water. Pardee quipped that he “knew the source of Bretz’ water.” In 1925\, he suggested to Bretz that the draining of a glacial lake could account for the magnitude of water flows needed to create the Scablands and coulees. \nThe program is free\, and open to the public.\n—- \nBill Burgel worked in the railroad industry for 40 years\, in engineering and operations. With his background and training in geology\, he was often called upon to resolve landslide issues and rerouting studies\, earthquake warning strategies\, and to conduct long tunnel analyses. \nContact information:\nBrent Cunderla – Erratics Chapter President\ncunderla@nwi.net  (509) 860-6067 \nSusan D.

SUMMARY:Columbia Gorge Chapter Picnic Canceled
DESCRIPTION:This event has been canceled and may be rescheduled in the Spring. \nThe Columbia Gorge Chapter has been pretty quiet since Covid and it’s about time we get ramped up again. So\, we want to invite our members and their families to a chapter picnic on October 15\, 2023 at Horsethief Lake picnic area. \nThe chapter will provide fixin’s for sandwiches\, salads\, chips\, cookies and a selection of non-alcoholic drinks. There are 35 unsheltered picnic tables located around the day-use area. Nine braziers are available if you want to cook something. Facilities are first-come\, first-served so let’s plan to gather at noon. We’ll need to know about how many to plan for so please use the link below to let us know that you’re planning to attend and how many will be with you. \nWe can do group games like three legged and sack races\, beanbag toss games\, balloon or egg races\, maybe hands-free watermelon eating contest for entertainment. If anyone is so inclined\, it would be great if you wanted to do a brief talk about geology and/or cultural aspects of the area. At the end we can also take a short trip to the petroglyph display if you’ve not seen that. But the main purpose is to get together\, have some fun\, and talk about renewing chapter activities.

SUMMARY:Cheney-Spokane Chapter Fishtrap Lake Field Trip / Hike
DESCRIPTION:Fishtrap Lake\, Washington (BLM Photo)\n \nCome join us for a 5-mile hike to explore the Ice Age floods features in the Fishtrap Lake area east of Sprague\, WA! \nThe Cheney-Spokane Chapter of the IAFI is scheduling a hike at Fishtrap Lake on Saturday\, October 14th. The hike will be led by Don Chadbourne and Chris Sheeran\, geologists and board members of the Cheney-Spokane Chapter. \nDescription of Fishtrap Lake Hike\nWe will begin and end at the Fishtrap Lake South Loop Trailhead. The hike will follow the South Loop trail\, with a total length of about 5 miles. The trail is mostly single track over dirt and rock\, with an elevation gain and loss of about 500 feet. Along the way we will have an intimate view of the channeled scablands that were carved out by the ice age floods and see features including pothole lakes\, rock benches\, Mima mounds\, kolks\, and streamlined and scarped Palouse hills. The hike will also provide wide open views of Fishtrap Lake and the surrounding country. This hike is included in On the Trail of the Ice Age Floods – Northern Reaches\, by Bruce Bjornstad & Eugene Kiver\, but we will be following trails that were constructed after the book was published. \nDirections to the trailhead\nFrom I-90 take Exit 254 and proceed south 3.6 miles on the Sprague Highway. Turn left (east) on Miller Ranch Road and proceed 0.2 miles to the “T” at the Miller Ranch house. Turn right (south) and drive 0.8 miles to the trailhead parking lot. There is a vault toilet at the parking lot. (Google Maps Link: https://goo.gl/maps/9Zz7nwdwziMzHYh69 map coordinates: 47.33381100925525\, -117.863529217959) \nThe hike will be limited to 20 hikers. \nItems to bring with you: appropriate shoes\, day pack\, water\, snacks\, appropriate clothing for changes in the weather\, sun protection\, emergency items\, camera and binoculars. Walking poles will be helpful. \nThe hike is free; however\, donations for support of Chapter activities will be accepted. For additional questions contact Don at 509-891-5875.

SUMMARY:Dr. Ralph Dawes - "Glaciated Landscape Beneath the Okanogan Ice Sheet"
DESCRIPTION:The Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute’s next program will be on Tuesday\, October 10 at 7:00 PM at the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center\, 127 South Mission St.\, Wenatchee. \nDr. Ralph Dawes\, Professor of Earth Science\, Wenatchee Valley College\, will discuss the “Glaciated landscape that formed beneath the Okanogan Lobe of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet” in north central Washington. This area\, including Douglas County north of Waterville and all of Okanogan County\, was studied early in the last century by well-known geologists J Harlan Bretz\, Richard Foster Flint\, and Aaron C. Waters. How the ice sheet shaped the landscape underneath it was a source of controversy back then\, and remains a subject of scientific debate today. \nDr. Dawes takes a four-part approach addressing the origin of the Okanogan landscape: \n\nRead published geologic studies of the Okanogan Lobe and Cordilleran Ice Sheet;\nlearn latest theories of how ice sheets create landforms;\nuse current online map data; and\nground-truth to examine the evidence itself.\n\nYou can attend in-person at the Museum\, or via Zoom link https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84520197937  Please sign in at 7:00 PM\, October 10! \nThe program is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Lecture with Dr. Eugene Kiver- “Solving Geologic Problems: Megafloods of Lava &  Water in Eastern Washington”
DESCRIPTION:Where: THE HIVE\, Event A Room (Use Door Code 371047 # to enter.) \n \nBring your lunch and enjoy this Floods lecture from Dr. Kiver during the lunch hour. The Chapter will provide a variety of beverages\, cookies\, and plates\, utensils\, cups\, and crushed ice. There will be plenty of time for questions and answers! \nDescription: The flat\, non-mountainous topography of eastern Washington displaying mostly serene landscapes suggests a quiet geologic origin. However\, a closer examination of the rocks\, sediments and landforms tells a story of violence that would seem only Hollywood could invent! \nMassive floods of lava\, some over 200’ thick and 300 miles long about 17 to 6 million years ago buried a hilly landscape turning the Columbia Plateau or Basin into a vast lava plain called a flood basalt field. No human has ever experienced lava flows of this magnitude. Later during the Pleistocene\, huge continental glaciers covered most of North America and ground much of the underlying rock into silt-size particles that would later become the famous Palouse Soil. The glaciers also created a huge lake that repeatedly failed catastrophically and ripped the rock surface into an astonishing system of coulees\, lakes\, and other landforms that make up the Channeled Scabland. \nThis lecture is free and open to the public. Dr. Kiver is Geology Professor Emeritus after teaching 34 years at Eastern Washington University. He studies glacial history in the West and volcanic history of the Cascade Mountains. He is a founding member of the Ice Age Floods Institute and a member of the IAFI Cheney-Spokane Chapter board of directors. \nIf you will be coming\, please RSVP to iaficheneyspokane@gmail.com with the number of people. This will help us get the right amount of supplies. Thank you!

SUMMARY:Deep Lake Potholes Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Join Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park Rangers for an eye opening field trip to the Deep Lake Potholes in Sun Lakes State Park on Saturday\, Sept 16. We will meet in the Deep Lake parking lot at 10:00 AM. Discover Pass is Required. \nYears ago\, Tom Foster blogged about his visits to these incredible potholes: \nI must have stood at this spot for 15 minutes Saturday – Amazing Ice Age Flood features surrounded me. In this shot the pothole\, massive butte and hanging coulee all help one visualize the awesome power of the Ice Age Floods. I’m impressed with the large basalt overhang near the skyline. In Bruce Bjornstad’s book “On the Trail of the Ice Age Floods” he describes this undercutting process that was key to the formation of vertical faces in recessional cataracts. \nThe Interpretive Master Plan for the Ice Age Floods in Washington State Parks describes this group of kolk carved depressions – “Another spectacular feature is a tight cluster of the deep potholes beyond Sun Lake just west of Deep Lake. These potholes lie along the valley bottom and require only a 5-10 minute walk from the road.” \n \n \nI’d also like to mention that a fall into one of these potholes could be fatal!

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!
