Dr. Scott Burns – Ancient Ice Age Floods Before the Missoula Floods
Come and Learn About The Unfolding Story of Ancient Ice Age Floods in the Pacific Northwest Ages End - Stev Ominski We 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 Come and learn more about these very interesting older Ice Age Floods, Thursday, Feb. 15, 2024 at 7:00 PM (Pacific Time) Live at Tualatin Heritage Center, 8700 SW Sweek Dr., Tualatin, OR 97062 Or on Zoom - Click here to join via ZOOM Meeting ID: 827 0148 6070 Passcode: 265961 Dr. Scott Burns taught geology for 54 years in Switzerland, New Zealand, Washington, Colorado and Louisiana before coming in 1990 to Portland State University.
