Lunch will be no-host at a local restaurant along the way. \nMaar Deposits\nThis field trip is donated in support of the Skyline Health Foundation. The Cultivate Columbia fundraiser is currently sold out\, so if you don’t have tickets and you wish to participate\, you should contact the foundation director\, Elizabeth Vaivoda at 509-637-2602 for more details.

This is one of the newest conservation areas in Spokane\, and has well established trails. Waikiki Springs is an out-pouring of the Spokane Aquifer through the bottom of an ancient valley buried by sands and gravels of the great outburst floods of the last Ice Age. Hiking group size is limited to the first 20 people to sign up. \n\nAfter confirming your registration we will send you the hike details and keep you up-to-date on any changes that happen before the day of the hike. \nResources: Waikiki Springs Nature Preserve URL:https://iafi.org/event/waikiki-springs-051124/ LOCATION:Waikiki Springs Trailhead\, Washington\, 99218 CATEGORIES:Activity,Cheney-Spokane,Hike ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://iafi.org/wp-content/uploads/Waikiki-Springs-Nature-Preserve-Spokane.png ORGANIZER;CN="Cheney-Spokane Chapter":MAILTO:iaficheneyspokane@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240514T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240514T203000 DTSTAMP:20260405T111849 CREATED:20240508T214454Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240508T214454Z UID:37870-1715713200-1715718600@iafi.org SUMMARY:MCBONES: The Coyote Canyon Mammoth Site DESCRIPTION:Gary Kleinknecht will present MCBONES: The Coyote Canyon Mammoth Site \nLearn about the activities going on at this local mammoth dig site\, the impact of Ice Age floods revealed at the site and the ongoing paleoenvironmental study.

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.

St. Helens\, that story will also be woven into several field trip stops.  And if the weather stays somewhat cool and wet into May\, we should see plenty of wildflowers in the shrub steppe. \nWe will have several short (<0.5 mile) hikes on this trip.  Make sure to wear sturdy hiking shoes or boots\, dress for the weather\, and bring plenty of drinks. \nAs on past Ellensburg IAFI trips\, this is an automobile trip.  We will provide a hardcopy field guide for the trip at Stop 1.  I will also send out a pdf of the field guide several days before the trip.  If you have questions\, feel free to contact Karl Lillquist at lillquis@cwu.edu. \nHope you can join us!

St. Helens\, that story will also be woven into several field trip stops.  And if the weather stays somewhat cool and wet into May\, we should see plenty of wildflowers in the shrub steppe. \nThe weather prediction for Vantage on Saturday is sunny with a high of 75°F.  We will have several short (<0.75 mile) hikes over uneven ground on this trip.  Make sure to wear sturdy hiking shoes or boots\, dress for the weather\, wear a shade hat\, slather on sun screen\, and bring plenty of drinks.  You might want to bring hiking sticks if uneven ground poses problems for you.  I will wear long pants as we will be walking through weedy areas (esp. cheat grass) at Stop 2 and Stop 3. \nAs on past Ellensburg IAFI trips\, this is an automobile trip.  No need to sign up—just show up!  You will need a Discover Pass to park at three of the sites.  I will bring a limited number of hardcopy field guides.  You can also download or print out the field guide at https://www.cwu.edu/academics/geography/directory/_documents/east-of-ellensburg-field-trip.pdf.   \nIf you have questions\, feel free to contact Karl Lillquist at lillquis@cwu.edu.   Hope you can join us!

However\, early work by Bretz (and others) suggested more direct contributions of meltwater from the Cordilleran Ice Sheet to explain formation of some Scabland flood tracts. In some cases\, these contributions may have been subglacially routed. \nThis presentation will examine new research on Moses Coulee – one of the more enigmatic Scabland coulees – that suggests subglacial meltwater flows best explain the erosional patterns of the coulee and its perplexing lack of connectivity to other Scabland flood routes. Further\, the presentation will examine new evidence for proglacial (Mega) floods during deglaciation of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet that may also contribute to formation of flood features such as giant bars along the Columbia River Valley. The presentation highlights the need for greater integration of Cordilleran Ice Sheet hydrology in the interpretive framework of the Channeled Scabland. As a workup to this presentation please familiarize yourself with the IAFI News article\, “Moses Coulee: Unveiling the Mystery of a Colossal Ice Age Scar“\, that gives an overview on this subject. \n \nDr. Jerome Lesemann obtained his PhD from Simon Fraser University. He currently teaches in the Earth Science Department at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo\, BC. His research interests are in Quaternary geology and sedimentology with a focus on glacier processes and ice sheet hydrology. He has had an interest in the Channeled Scabland for over two decades\, with a particular focus on the dynamics of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet along the northern reaches of the Channeled Scabland. \nDate: 20 May 2024 at 7:00pm\nLocation: Bellevue College\, Bldg.
