Premiere of "Sculpted by Floods," A Video About Ancient Glacial Floods in the Pacific Northwest
On February 23rd at 9 p.m. PST (10 p.m. MST), KSPS-TV (Spokane) presented the premiere
showing of "Sculpted by Floods." This hour-long special tells the story of cataclysmic
floods that swept across the Pacific Northwest when ancient lakes burst through their
glacial dams 15,000 years ago. Producer-director Alison Kartevold worked with USGS
scientist Richard Waitt (VHZ, Vancouver, WA) to document terrestrial evidence of the
floods and with USGS scientist Bill Normark (CMG, Menlo Park) to discuss where the
floodwaters went when they hit the sea. "Sculpted by Floods" will be made available
for re-broadcast by other public TV stations, and a videotape will be available for
purchase soon after the premiere. The video costs $28 (shipping included) and can be
ordered from KSPS at 1-800-735-2377 or 509-354-7800.
