Rapid rainfall mixed with lingering snow caps led to massive flooding throughout Yellowstone National Park in June 2022. Within 24 hours of the storm, a research team was on the ground mapping the destruction.
That team included scientists from South Dakota Mines like Calvin Tohm. Tohm is a civil and environmental engineering graduate student and is still crunching the data he collected at the flooded areas a year ago.
He joins In the Moment to talk about the data his team collected, how it could improve future infrastructure and what still sticks with him about the communities he worked in.
