Channeled Scablands:
- 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.
- Mars Pathfinder Landsite Site Workshop II and Field Trip to the Channeled Scablands A web site hosted at Arizona State University, centered on the relationships of the Channeled Scablands terrain to that of the Ares Valles site on Mars on which Pathfinder landed and explored.
- 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 ByronPickering 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.
- Lake Missoula Floods In April, 1995, Smithsonian Magazine had a nice article on the Channeled Scablands and the development of the Bretz theory. Included are references.
