SUMMARY:Icicle Creek Glaciers & Upper Valley Erratics
DESCRIPTION:Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute will meet at 7:00 P.M.\, Tuesday\, February 13 at the Wenatchee Valley Museum\, 127 South Mission\, Wenatchee. \nIcicle Creek Glaciers and Upper Valley Erratics\n\nGlaciers from Icicle Creek advanced multiple times over the past several hundred thousand years and left deposits near Leavenworth.

That data tell a different story about Icicle Creek glaciers and the location of past termini. Kelsay Stanton\, WVC adjunct instructor and licensed professional geologist\, will talk about work she’s done in the Leavenworth area with USGS geologist Richard Waitt\, using information collected by Long\, and describe how it fits into the regional glacial and glacial outburst flood story. \nThe program is free & open to the public. \nFor overviews of the Ice Age Floods and more information on the Ice Age Floods Institute\, please see our website: http://www.iafi.org; http://www.hugefloods.com; and quadricopter videos of Ice Age features\, http://www.brucebjornstad.com.
