World-Wide Ice-Age Megafloods at next Ice Age Floods Institute meeting August 13

 

Last updated 8/7/2019 at 9:52am



Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute will meet at 7 p.m., Tuesday, August 13, at the Wenatchee Valley Museum, 127 South Mission, Wenatchee.

   Erratics’ favorite, Dr. Vic Baker, Professor of Planetary Sciences and Geosciences U. of Arizona, will talk about these World-Wide Ice-Age Megafloods. We have learned much about processes and ages of megaflooding, but controversies remain, including: areas of flooding now under the oceans; subglacial megaflooding; and details of a vast network of megaflood landscape features in Asia. These immense outburst floods likely caused rapid, short-term effects on Earth’s environment. Megafloods also may have inspired flood myths that abound in ancient cultures around the world, including Noah’s.

The program is free and open to the public.
