On today’s show…
Sediments snaking their way down our rivers fill reservoirs and reduce the amount of water they can hold. A new pilot project is testing ways to collect the dirt, sand and debris before they reach reservoirs.
Paul Boyd, hydraulic engineer with the Omaha District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, takes listeners out on the Niobrara River to explore the science experiment he’s leading (1:00 to 32:28).
We revisit a 2023 conversation with author Amy Brady. She shares a few historical anecdotes from “Ice: From Mixed Drinks to Skating Rinks a Cool History of a Hot Commodity” (32:28 to 37:39).
Listen to Brady’s full interview.
Plus, a high school science teacher in Lower Brule is heading far south to learn more about the planet’s ice and climates. Bree Oatman is spending 10 days in Antarctica thanks to a National Geographic fellowship (37:39 to 49:11).
