Episode #051: Southwest Experience Tour Review
NE Arizona and SE Utah: RC shares his images and scrolls around maps. We visited Sedona, Meteor Crater, Rock Art Ranch, Monument Valley, the Great Goosenecks, Mexican Hat, Valley of the Gods, Montezuma’s “Castle”, Montezuma’s Well, and Tuzigoot ruins
Episode #050: Wisconsin Glacial Megafloods
Sites we’ll be visiting on the “Southwest Experience” tour / reminiscing about prior trips and a memorable retreat in Colorado’s Sangre de Cristo Mountains / reminded of links between micro/macro evidence that can help identify ice sheet impact sites
Episode #049: Subglacial Megafloods in Southern BC
RC and crew again attempt to grok the widespread shifts that would have filled the many proglacial lakes and released the catastrophic drainings across the landscapes. What was the chronology of these interrelated events? Ice dam and Missoula Floods
Episode #048: Meltwater Musings and Lake Agassiz
More drumlins and their formation at the base of the continental ice sheets that covered Canada. The catastrophic release of Glacial Lake Agassiz into Minnesota and the relict oversize spillways containing underfit rivers.
Episode #047: Drumlins – Flow-form Forensics
Jerome Lesemann PhD, is a drumlin expert and student/colleague of John Shaw – pioneer of the Meltwater Hypothesis. The enigmatic geomorphological features are present far and wide across North America, beneath the former continental ice sheets
Episode #046: Potholes and Mid-continent Megafloods
What was the impulse of energy that initiated the domino procession of megafloods? We marvel at the oversized mid-continent spillways in the Dakotas, Minnesota, and Wisconsin – investigating multiple sites with the National Map’s “advanced viewer”
Episode #045: Phenomenal Lake Agassiz and Megaflood Spillways
Lake Agassiz was an inland sea of freshwater, dwarfing the Great Lakes that drained catastrophically thru multiple routes back to the oceans. Mid-continent spillways contain meandering underfit rivers, but were once channels for huge volumes of melt
Episode #044: Megafloods – Missoula, Lake Agassiz and Mars
Historical reference for the evolution of the Missoula Floods that Harlen Bretz identified in the 1920’s by traversing the Channeled Scablands of eastern Washington, speculating that the floods came from accelerated Cordilleran ice sheet melting
Episode #043: Geocosmic Clues at Lake Hind
Articles that purport to kill the whole Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis / geomorphic imprints right into the surface of the Earth of gigantic megafloods – meltwater episodes of inconceivably humongous volumes of water discharging off the ice sheets
Episode #042: Volcanic Eruptions “Upend” YD Impacts Evidence?
Evidence for nanodiamonds in Oklahoma Panhandle / chart of Volcanic Explosivity Index / ash from Mount St. Helens has been found and dated within the Scablands floods’ rhythmites, basis for theories of repeated Lake Missoula dam-break outburst floods
