SUMMARY:Wenatchee Valley Erratics Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute will meet Tuesday\, February 11 at 7:00 PM. Our speaker will present remotely via Zoom from Portland. Those not computer- or Zoom-savvy can attend in-person for a live screening at the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center\, 127 S. Mission\, Wenatchee. Or at home using Zoom link    https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81855547958Meeting ID: 818 5554 7958 \nDr. Scott Burns\, Professor Emeritus of Geology at Portland State University\, is a researcher\, teacher\, and story-teller of Pacific Northwest Geology. He will discuss “The Ancient Ice Age Floods in the Pacific Northwest.”\n\n\n \nDr. Scott Burns\n\nWe know that Ice Age Floods have inundated the Pacific Northwest over the past 2.8 million years. But we primarily concentrate on the last ones\, the Missoula Floods\, that occurred between 20\,000-15\,000 years ago. That’s because the Missoula Floods left the most visible record; they obliterated nearly all the evidence of earlier inundations. Current research\, however\,  shows an unfolding story of the many torrents that preceded the Missoula Floods. Erica Medley\, an MS student of Dr. Burns\, discovered many deposits of these rarely discussed ancient floods. Dr. Burns\, a most dynamic speaker\, is here to talk about those older ones!\n\n\n\n\n \n\nMissoula Flood waters backing up behind Wallula Gap forming Glacial Lake Lewis – depiction by Stev Ominski\n\nThe program is free and open to the public.

He witnessed the North American Distance Records set at the Leavenworth Ski Hill and was a descendant of the men that constructed Bakke Hill in the 1920’s. Bakke Hill was the site of the National Ski Jumping Championships in 1941\, 1959\, 1967\, 1974 and 1978.

SUMMARY:Red Barn Event - Our Valley\, Our Light Pollution
DESCRIPTION:Wenatchee River Institute Presents \nStreaming link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DokEhIoAKOQ \nDoors open at 6:30pm for a community social with beer\, wine\, sparkling water\, and tea available for purchase. The presentation will start at 7:00pm. \nLight pollution affects more than just the natural dark sky and star visibility\, it affects our local ecosystems and wastes money. Join Paul Tomas with the Wenatchee Valley Astronomy Club and learn how our communities are lighting up the valley – and not in a good way. Paul will discuss what light pollution is\, different ways to reduce our light pollution\, and how to talk with others that may be unintentionally lighting the dark sky. \nToday over 80% of the world lives under sky glow. Paul will discuss ways we can collect data through a citizen scientist program. These programs help others understand how our valley and the world around us is changing and show how light pollution is on the rise due to lack of awareness. \nAbout the Presenter: \nPaul Tomas is an avid environmental educator with a passion for astronomy. For over 8 years\, he has worked as a Park Ranger organizing and conducting interpretive programs covering various subjects from Snowshoe nature hikes to Astronomy Programs. During his work as a Park Ranger\, he has worked to change local parks into dark sky havens by advocating for Dark Skies and retrofitting exterior lights in parks. Paul Tomas is the founder of the Wenatchee Valley Astronomy Club. This local club gives local astronomers of all experience levels a place in this valley to come together to form new connections\, friendships\, and share with each other all things astronomy. \nEvent Link
