Many photographs and images are used to help the reader view the physical evidence along the virtual tour. Details are provided on trip routes through each state along with descriptions of sites along the way.The book is divided into seven chapters. Each chapter presents field evidence for each state. 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.

Download and read online ebook Ice Age Floodscapes of the Pacific Northwest write by Bruce Norman Bjornstad. This book was released on 2021-02-02. Ice Age Floodscapes of the Pacific Northwest available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
