Welcome to the Northwest Scientific Association
Since 1923, the Northwest Scientific Association (NWSA) has existed for the purpose of promoting scientific research and disseminating scientific knowledge.
The Association produces Northwest Science, a peer reviewed journal dedicated to regional topics involving anthropology, aquatic biology, botany, mathematics, computer applications, forestry, geology, geography, soils, wildlife biology and zoology. NWSA is an affiliate of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
The NWSA strongly encourages membership and participation by high school and college students, or any other individuals interested in scientific discoveries. Our annual meetings are held throughout the Pacific Northwest and provide an opportunity to share recent findings and foster collaborative interactions.
