Glacial Lake Missoula and Its Humongous Floods tells the gripping tale of a huge Ice Age lake that drained suddenly--not just once but repeatedly--and reshaped the landscape of the Northwest. The narrative follows the path of the floodwaters as they raged from western Montana across the Idaho Panhandle, then scoured through eastern Washington and down the Columbia Gorge to the Pacific Ocean.

The Glacial Lake Missoula and the Catastrophic Floods takes a virtual tour of the field evidence associated with the catastrophic flooding of glacial Lake Missoula through Western Montana, Northern Idaho, Southern Washington, and the Columbia River Gorge to the Willamette Valley near Portland Oregon. 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. 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.

Sedimentological And Paleomagnetic Study Of Glacial Lake Missoula Lacustrine And Flood Sediment written by Michelle Andree Hanson and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2013 with Floods categories.


During the Fraser Glaciation (marine oxygen isotope stage 2), floods from ice-dammed glacial Lake Missoula affected large parts of Washington and Oregon. Flood deposits are interbedded with glaciolacustrine sediment in glacial Lake Columbia, and occur as thick slackwater sediments in southern Washington and in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. This thesis examines some of the issues surrounding this flooding, such as how many times glacial Lake Missoula emptied, whether glacial Lake Missoula is the only source of the floods, and the timing of these events. The sedimentology and stratigraphy of a new section of rhythmically stratified glaciolacustrine sediment in the glacial Lake Missoula basin confirms that the ice dam failed at least a few dozen times, exposing the lake bottom. Current indicators and clast lithologies of flood sediments in glacial Lake Columbia indicate that glacial Lake Missoula was the source of these flood beds. Additionally, rock magnetic studies identify hematite in fine-grained flood sediment that settled out of the water after the high-energy floodwaters had passed. The source of the hematite is the Belt-Purcell Supergroup in Montana, which supplied sediment to glacial Lake Missoula. Optical ages, a radiocarbon age, and paleomagnetic secular variation records help to constrain the timing of glacial Lake Missoula flooding. Optical dating was successful on three samples of fluvial sand deposited during initial filling of glacial Lake Missoula and on loess deposited above Mount St. Helens set S tephra, which is a time-stratigraphic marker found in glacial Lake Missoula flood deposits. One sample of fossil plant detritus was found below at least 37 flood beds in glacial Lake Columbia. Lastly, four paleomagnetic secular variation records constrain the timing of glaciolacustrine units in glacial Lake Missoula and flood beds in glacial Lake Columbia and the Willamette Valley. All glacial Lake Missoula units and flood units studied in this thesis date to the later part of the Fraser Glaciation, between ~14.2 and 11.6 14C ka BP.

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Field Trip Guidebooks Series, Volume 310. This field guide describes the geology of Pleistocene glacial Lake Missoula and the Channeled Scabland of the northwestern United States. Catastrophic floods created by outbursts from this glacially dammed lake created the largest known floods on this planet. The route of this trip, shown in Figure 1, follows the path of the water from Missoula, Montana, through glacial Lake Missoula, on past the area of ice dams in Idaho, down some of the major scabland channel systems and slackwater basins in Washington, and through the Columbia River Gorge to Portland, Oregon. In 1933, the Sixteenth Session of the International Geological Congress included an excursion into the Channeled Scabland that was prepared by J Harlen Bretz of the University of Chicago. Professor Bretz's work on the Channeled Scabland covered over 40 years. Now, we meet in 1989 on the same subject to see the evidence and vindication of his work, and to examine new research on this important event in Quaternary geology.
