The #ColumbiaRiverBasalt Group (#CRB) forms a dominant feature across the #PNW.
Dr. Marvin Beeson who taught and conducted research at #PortlandStateUniversity set the stage for understanding the CRB through his pioneering application of geochemistry to understand the evolution, structure, and extent of the CRB.
His research, and that of his many graduate students, led to many important, fundamental breakthroughs in understanding the geology of the CRB and the geologic history of NW #Oregon. He was widely considered the foremost expert on the geology of the Basalts and was widely sought as a geologic consultant by U.S. Geological Survey, state agencies, municipalities, and private sector companies.
In honor of Dr. Beeson, his many colleagues at the #USGS and OR Water Resources this web page was dedicated to publishing his work.

Vintage Nick Zentner gives a quick tour of the CRB and why it is uniquely impressive.
