The changes this planet has gone through are immense. It's funny how so many think this should stop now that we have occupied the lands. One day another ice age will come and the people will begging for some global warming.Just about everything - look at the map I posted, figure out where you live, and let me know. As my Masters was based mainly on the last Cordillerian Glacial Period and its resultant flooding, I'm interested to know.
What piqued my interest in the period was standing in the car park at Crown Point, Oregon, and looking up the Gorge. Noting the numerous hanging valleys and their incredible waterfalls, like Multnomah, I got to thinking what the view might have been around 12500 years ago, when the last gasp of the last Glacial Lake Missoula flood came down the river, 500 feet high and travelling at 60 -70 mph, clearing away everything that isn't there any more.
