GSA Abstract: On a template set by basalt flows, hydrology and erosional topography coevolve in the Oregon Cascade Range

The Watershed Hydrogeology Lab is going to be busy at this year’s Geological Society of America annual meeting in Portland, Oregon in October. We’ve submitted four abstracts for the meeting, I am co-convening a session, and I’ll be helping lead a pre-meeting field trip. I’ll be an invited speaker in …

People just keep publishing interesting stuff.

Megafloods from Glacial Lake Missoula

[Cross-posted at Highly Allochthonous] If I had a time machine and could go back to any point in geologic history, as supposed in this month’s Accretionary Wedge call, the event I’d most like to see is the repeated flooding of the Pacific Northwest at the end of the last Ice …
