• A response to "J Harlen Bretz: A Heresy Justified" Excerpts from a news group posting that presents some interesting history behind the development of J. Harlen Bretz's development of the Channeled Scabland Model.

• Joseph Thomas Pardee and the Spokane Flood Controversy GSA Today (Sept., 1995) article outlining Pardee's role in connecting the evolution of the Channeled Scablands to catastrophic flooding from Lake Missoula.

• Ice Age Floods Institute The Ice Age Floods Institute is a non-profit organization of citizens throughout Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon committed to tell the story of the flood origin to the Channeled Scablands.

• Glacial Lake Missoula Painting As part of its ongoing program to educate the public about the uniqueness of the area, the Lower Flathead Valley Community Foundation commissioned seascape artist Byron Pickering to create this painting of Glacial Lake Missoula.

• Glacial Lake Missoula Strands A striking photo of the strands in the Missoula region, as picked out through some light snow.

• Glacial Lake Missoula USGS web site, with information and links.

• Selected Bibliography for the NDSU Geoscience Field Trip Lura Joseph's excellent annotated bibliography.

• Map of Eastern Washington State A map showing relief, land cover, and landscape names. The site also includes links to additional resources.

• Tertiary Research Center -- The Clarkia Flora of Northern Idaho Dr. William Rember's web site on the Eocene fossil site at Clarkia, Idaho.

• Deschutes-Columbia Plateau An overview of the geology that underlies the Deschutes National Forest. Particularly pertinent to the north-central Oregon portion of the Columbia Plateau, but contains useful links outward.

• The Ginkgo Pages A super-interesting site on the biology and paleodistribution of the Ginkgo.

• Columbia Plateau - Columbia River Gorge A most useful web site hosted by the U.S. Geological Survey Cascades Volcano Observatory. Links to graphics, including maps, plus info on basalt flow stratigraphy.

• Pacific Northwest Seismograph Network Information on/from seismograph stations positioned in Washington State. Note that our field trip region is occasionally subjected to earthquakes.

• U.S. Department of Energy Hanford Site The home page leading to the major links on this nuclear research and production site.

• U.S. Geological Survey Programs in Washington All in all, a disappointing page in that it fails to provide outward links to any of the resources noted.
