Western Confluence

Western Confluence magazine explores the western United States’ most confounding natural resource issues–drought, freshwater supply, our changing climate, wildfires, invasive species, insect outbreaks, energy development impacts, conservation, land management, and more–and seeks out realistic, interdisciplinary solutions. The magazine bridges complicated science and policy understanding generated at academic and research institutions to the people who are working with natural resources on the ground. We also elevate the voices of those who are bringing innovative approaches to addressing real-world environment and natural resource challenges across the West.

The Western Confluence advisory board offers mentorship, brainstorming, and guidance to the magazine staff. The board includes Gregory Nickerson, Anne MacKinnon, and Chris Madson. Many thanks to them for their insights and support.
