About this listen

Did you know that a family-owned business in Logan, Utah, builds the technology that monitors the jet stream from the top of Mount Everest and helped save the Mosul Dam in Iraq?


In this episode of Made in America, host Rita sits down with Joshua Campbell of Campbell Scientific. For over 50 years, this company has transitioned from a family with roots in dry land wheat farming to a global leader in "edge devices" and dataloggers.


In this video, we cover:

  • 02:40 What is a Datalogger? (The bridge between the digital and analog world).

  • 04:52 The Origin Story: How a conversation about wind speed on a missile range started a 50-year legacy.

  • 22:07 The Mosul Dam Story: How Campbell Scientific instrumentation helped protect the city of Baghdad.

  • 23:44 The Everest Project: Monitoring weather inside the jet stream.

  • 32:00 The Future: AI’s role in weather prediction and reducing supercomputer reliance.


Join us for an incredible story of American innovation, stewardship, and science.
