SEQUIM – Clallam County conservation officials will celebrate a wedding next week between rocket science and river management.
They’ll officially kick off the NASA Solutions Network, funded by a $1.6 million space agency grant, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Wednesday in the Dungeness River Audubon Center, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road.
When it’s finished in about a year, the network will allow North Olympic Peninsula environmentalists to take NASA high-tech tools “off the shelf” and adapt them to jobs like predicting the flow of the Dungeness, Tony Ingersoll said Thursday.
Ingersoll is coordinator of the North Olympic Peninsula Natural Resource Conservation and Development Council, who applied for the allocation.
