A native Oregonian, Mr. Thompson is President of the Lower Columbia Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute who loves to share the beauty of the great Northwest. Though geology is not his profession, it is his passion. Being intrigued by the land formations, huge boulders and glacial erratics, Mr. Thompson embarked on a twenty-year study to show that unlike the massive expanses of flood features in Eastern Washington this area has its own treasure chest of scablands, flood channels, erratic boulders and dramatic story to tell. Besides giving talks and leading field trips on the subject Mr. Thompson has developed a number of driving tours and has just completed the revision of his book: Giga Flood – The Largest of the Lake Missoula Floods in Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington.
