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: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: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: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:The Other Half of the Equation: JT Pardee and the Lake He Discovered
DESCRIPTION:Bill Burgel\nWhile J Harlen Bretz was exploring the Scablands with his grad students\, Joseph Pardee was quietly amassing convincing data about the existence of Glacial Lake Missoula. Pardee’s work ultimately led to acceptance of Bretz’ theory of catastrophic outburst flooding as an important tool in the shaping of our world. Come hear Bill Burgel in person discuss JT Pardee’s critical role in the evolution of the science of geology! \nThis presentation is In-Person Only on Thursday\, October 19\, 2023 at 7:00PM\,\nat Tualatin Heritage Center\, 8700 SW Sweek Drive\, Tualatin\, OR 97062 \nAbout our presenter: Bill Burgel \nBill retired from the railroad industry after a successful 40 year career. He worked for several railroads in the engineering and operating departments.His interest and training in geology was often called upon to resolve landscape issues and rerouting studies\, implement early earthquake warning strategies and conduct numerous long railroad tunnel analyses.He has given many talks on rail issues as well as earthquake preparedness and topics pertaining to regional geology to local audiences throughout the Pacific Northwest. Bill is a graduate of The University of Michigan\, BS in Engineering and MS in Structural Geology from Idaho State University.
