About Me
I am a research scientist at the Energy and Environmental research center. I grew up in a small town in Central North Dakota, and Devils Lake has affected my community nearly my entire life. In 2005 I received a technical degree in electronics from the North Dakota State College of Science, and in 2009 I received a Bachelors of Science in Geology from the University of North Dakota.
Politics isn’t really something I am interested in, but I do try to keep track of what is happening in the world.
I Believe:
- Global Climate Change (warming) is real there is no point to argue, but people may play a smaller role than we give ourselves credit for.
- CO2 is not the only thing causing climate change. (I don’t know exactly what is)
- Energy is finite and we should start moving toward local power generation. I’m defiantly not a hippie, but it is a bad plan to rely on people who hate you. The simple truth is that the US does not have enough domestic oil to support out countries demands regardless of what some people think.
- Most environmental groups are full of crap, are typically uninformed and get in the way of progress for everyone. It is hard to fix problems when someone puts the breaks on before you even get started. I am constantly doing risk assessment on projects, but sometimes it is important to make mistakes that are worth making.
Hi,
I found your timelapse film of the Red River Flood Metre on youtube. The footage is excellent-so compelling. Anyways I wanted to sign up for the update on July 15th but I couldn’t find where to do that on your site; would you mind adding me to the list? Also do you own the rights to the footage or were you commisioned by someone. We are working on a documentary about the Lake Winnipeg watershed and the rising water levels. As you may or may not know the Red River flows right into LW. So, just wondering if were interested in usingthe footage what the parameters would be.
Best regards,
Rebecca
I was bored one night, and the data is provided to the public by the USGS http://nd.water.usgs.gov/floodinfo/

Typically the USGS is happy to contribute to educational films. Regardless I’m fairly certain that you are welcome to use it, but you might want to give the local USGS office a call.(Grand Forks)
If you talk to the USGS they may be able to provide you with better quality images that are not watermarked.
Grand Forks field Office Phone: 701-775-7221
Bismark Office (USGS North Dakota Water Science Center) Phone: 701-250-7400
One of those places should have access to the original files.
I don’t have a link for the update yet. I will simply do a new post with the video when I make it. My RSS feed is probably the easiest way to see when I update, but you really won’t need me.
FYI:
and much of the regional glacial history for that matter.
I’m well aware of where the Red River flows
Hopefully you check back because you didn’t really leave me any contact information.
