Draining Badlands

2019-04-07 By Roger Edwards

Draining Badlands (Little Missouri River, TRNP)

From Ice Ages to today, the Little Missouri River, and its local tributaries and gullies, have carved and carried countless megatons of loose rock, sand, clay and loess off the badlands of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Some sediment from this marvel of the northern Great Plains helped to build Louisiana, or ended up on the seabed of Gulf of Mexico, before the big dams of the Dakotas tamed the “Mighty Mo” downstream.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story.

As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
