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:Cheney-Spokane Chapter Hike – Saturday 3/30 at 10AM – Escure Ranch / Towell Falls
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for a moderate 6-mile hike to explore the Ice Age floods features in the Escure Ranch area south of Sprague\, WA. The round trip hike follows a gravel road along the Rock Creek drainage and climbs about 100 feet over a small divide and back down to Towell Falls. On the way there you will drive past sculpted Palouse ‘islands’ downstream of Rock Lake\, and on the hike near Towell Falls is an Ice Age Floods gravel bar that has been incised by a stream to show its interior structure. The hike will be led by IAFICS board members\, geologists Donald Chadbourne and Chris Sheeran. \nAfter confirming your registration we will send you the hike details and keep you up-to-date on any changes that happen before the hike.

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.

With abundant and well-exposed rock layers\, Washington has fossils dating from Ice Age mammals from only 12\,000 years ago\, to marine invertebrates more than 500 million years old. \nJoin co-authors Dr. Liz Nesbitt and David B. Williams as they discuss this rich array of past life\, which is featured in their new book\, “Spirit Whales and Sloth Tales: Fossils in Washington State“— the first book ever on fossils in the state! Why did they choose the fossils they did? What is the new science that has allowed paleontologists to tease out the 500-million-year long story of life in this region? \nLiz Nesbitt is curator emerita of invertebrate and micropaleontology at the Burke Museum. David B. Williams is an author\, naturalist\, tour guide\, and Curatorial Associate at the Burke Museum. \nPlease sign in\, or show up\, at 7:00 PM\, December 12! The program is free and open to the public.

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.
