Join the Inland Northwest Land Trust for their Speaker Series! Dr. Gene Kiver will be presenting on the evolution of the eastern Washington region including the mountains, the huge flows of basalt lava about 15 million years ago, and the effects of the Ice Age with an emphasis on the world-famous Missoula Floods.
Dr. Kiver graduated from Case University in Cleveland and later from the University of Wyoming where he received his PhD in Geology. He taught Geology for over 32 years at Eastern Washington University and conducted an active research career that emphasized landforms and surficial processes.
Glacial geology of the western United States, geothermal ice caves on Mts. Rainier and Baker, national park geology, speleology, and the Missoula Floods are his main professional interests. He has over 100 professional papers including technical papers, guide books, consulting reports, and a textbook on the “Geologic Story of the National Parks.”
Books in preparation include “On the Trail of the Ice Age Floods, Volume 2” (with Bruce Bjornstad) and “Washington Rocks” with Richard Orndorff.
