Naturalist Nights: "Colorado River History"

Speaker: Sara Porterfield, PhD Description: The Colorado River has long served as an icon of the arid American West and the central character in the story of human manipulation of water resources in the United States. However, the Colorado River Basin has shaped and been shaped by the development and use of rivers around the world. In this talk, Sara Porterfield will explore the history of a global exchange of information, technology, and ideology between the Colorado River Basin and international river basins in the late nineteenth century—an exchange that continues to the present day. Through stories of the engineers, bureaucrats, policymakers, and whitewater boaters who traveled to and from the Colorado River Basin to rivers around the world, she will show how the international history of the Colorado River Basin can help us better understand the past while also providing valuable lessons and insights for current policymaking and water management decisions. Speaker Bio: Sara Porterfield, PhD, is a historian, river guide, educator, author, and founder of Tributaries Consulting whose work focuses on the Colorado River Basin and water in the American West. Sara’s love of the Colorado River began during childhood on family road trips across the West. After college, her interest in the river led her to working for the Colorado Outward Bound School where she has guided trips on the rivers of the Colorado Basin since 2005. Not content with just floating the river, Sara began her doctoral studies in order to understand the natural and human history of the Colorado and water in the West. After graduating from the University of Colorado Boulder with a PhD in History, Sara founded Tributaries Consulting in 2018 in order to bring historical perspectives to the Western water community through research, writing, education, and public outreach. Sara, her husband Jeff, and their pups make their home in Boulder, Colorado. When not writing about or researching the rivers of the West she enjoys running rivers, drinking coffee, trail running, eating chocolate, and doing yoga.
