SUMMARY:Special Meeting of the IAFI Ellensburg Chapter
DESCRIPTION:Dear Members\, Former Members\, and Friends\, \nI trust this message finds you in good health and spirits. I’m Mike Doran\, a fellow member of the Ellensburg Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute\, and I’m reaching out to you with an important invitation. \nOur chapter has a storied past filled with enriching field trips\, captivating lectures\, and engaging speakers. However\, it’s time for us to refocus our efforts and ensure that we’re set for continued growth and success in the future. \nTo achieve this\, a dedicated group of us has been actively discussing strategies and ideas. Now\, we’re eager to invite you to join us for a special meeting where we can gather your invaluable input\, ideas\, and concerns. Your participation\, in any capacity you choose\, is vital as we navigate our path forward. \nWe’re fortunate that Karl Lillquist has arranged for us to convene on Friday\, April 5th\, at 4:30 PM in a meeting room at Dean Hall on the Central campus. (Please note that parking restrictions on campus ease after 4:30 PM as there is no cost then. Use parking lot O-5. Just be sure to park in General Parking slots and not Staff slots. ) The meeting time aligns perfectly with Nick’s Bretz lectures\, providing an ideal opportunity for us to meet before attending his 7:00 PM talk. \nDuring our gathering\, we’ll create an open forum for discussion and have light refreshments available. Additionally\, we will be conducting elections for the following officer positions: Secretary\, Vice-President\, and President. This is an excellent opportunity for members to get involved and help shape the future direction of our organization. \nWhether you’re interested in taking an active role in the organization\, standing for election\, or simply wish to share your thoughts\, your presence will be immensely valued. Together\, we aim to bolster Karl and Nick’s efforts and ensure the sustained success of our chapter. \nWe’re genuinely excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and eagerly anticipate seeing you there. \nShould you have any questions or concerns beforehand\, please feel free to reach out to me at 253-278-3470.\nWarm regards\,\nMike Doran

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: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
