Glacial Lake Missoula

This is a great story to know if you work on the Clark Fork or anywhere in north Idaho. David Alt's book Glacial Lake Missoula and its Humongous Floods is a great full length treatment. Here are some good articles:

An article from the Smithsonian. Nice journalistic treatment of the story.

A report from the US Geological Survey. Fairly comprehensive overview of all the significant sites where evidence of the flood can be seen.

A brief three page overview of the floods, including map

A piece on the role of geologists at Eastern Washington in discovering and explaining the flood.
