Lake Agassiz was like an inland sea of fresh water, dwarfing the modern “Great Lakes” that drained off thru multiple routes back to the oceans, in many places with known catastrophic erosion. Massive mid-continent spillways contain the meandering underfit modern rivers, but were once channels for outrageous volumes of meltwater. We question the formation of glacial Lake Missoula and the force that pushed the first domino and initiated the sequence of catastrophes, as we continue to build our vocabulary and grammar that is allowing us to read the language of the landscapes – known as geomorphology. Identical features are on Mars and in stream-beds, illustrating the scale-invariant nature of water doing its work of erosion and deposition. In a final rant during th
