Adventure Science Information

Adventure Science is a neutral organization of volunteer experts and citizen-scientists. While members obviously appreciate wilderness, they also have diverse viewpoints about oil development and growth. What they share is a determination to collect information and make scientific observations ahead of the drill-bit. The goal of the project is not to tell communities what to do, but rather help communities gather the information they need to make informed decisions. We will share our information with state and federal agencies and North Dakota State University in order to provide a clear picture of what natural components and cultural material exist along this transect. Adventure Science has an additional aim to produce educational materials that can be shared with interested parties. These materials will be used help teach students and the public about the natural and historical significance of the region, as well as to educate them about the relationships between oil development, natural and cultural resources. Ultimately, we are volunteering our services to provide information to citizens so that they can make informed, conscious choices on how to balance the needs of the various interest groups, for now and for the future.
