Chapter 1 presents a short introduction to the geologic setting. Chapter 2 discusses the Great Ice Age and glacial Lake Missoula. Chapter 3 begins the field evidence descriptions for Lake Missoula in Montana leading a tour through western Montana to the northern Idaho state line. Chapter 4 presents field evidence for the flooding in Idaho to the southwestern state line with Washington. Chapter 5 described field evidence in southeastern Washington starting with the Spokane Valley and Columbia Plateau. Chapter 6 provides stratigraphic and geomorphic evidence for dozens of late glacial floods starting with the Grand Coulee and Dry Falls, Chelan area, Quincy Basin, Moses Coulee, and ending with the Cheney-Palouse Tract. Chapter 7 ends the tour with descriptions of the Columbia Valley and Columbia River Gorge ending with the Willamette Valley and the City of Portland.

Book excerpt: The Ice Age Lake Missoula Floods affected four states and left much evidence of their passing. Most dramatic are the scablands of eastern Washington. With few exceptions all other books on the subject stop at the west end of the Columbia River Gorge. GigaFlood reveals the effects of the largest Lake Missoula Flood in northwest Oregon and southwest Washington with photos, maps and illustrations. This much neglected area has more subtle features from these floods that inundated the Portland/Vancouver area, Willamette and other valleys with up to 400 feet of water. GigaFlood shows you where to find the ice-rafted erratics, giant current ripples, huge gravel bars and flood channels that were a result of these cataclysms.

A town where nearly all of the volunteer firemen are named Jim, where The Dirty Shame--the only bar in town--refuses to serve mixed drinks (too much work), where the locals hate the newcomers (then again, they hate the locals, too), and where the town softball team has never even come close to having a winning season. Until now. Rachel Flood has snuck back into town after leaving behind a trail of chaos nine years prior. She's here to make amends, but nobody wants to hear it, especially her mother Laverna. But with the help of a local boy named Jake and a little soul-searching, she just might make things right."--Amazon.com.

Download or read book Ice Age Floodscapes of the Pacific Northwest written by Bruce Norman Bjornstad and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This heavily illustrated book contains descriptions and geologic interpretations of photographs (mostly aerial) illustrating the power and magnitude of repeated Ice Age flooding in the Pacific Northwest, as recently as 14,000 years ago. The scale of Ice Age floods was so huge that today it is often difficult to see and appreciate the power and magnitude of such megafloods from ground level. However, from the air, landforms created by the floods often come into clear focus. Aerial images, obtained via unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) as well as fixed-wing airplane, add a new perspective on evidence gathered by dozens of scientists since 1923.
