Madison Dapcevich is an associate editor at Outside.

As a science journalist and ocean explorer, she’s investigated misinformation campaigns on social media, embedded in Alaskan archaeological digs, and contributed to the discovery of deep-sea organisms in the Central Pacific.

But she’s most happy in her western Montana home whitewater kayaking, rafting and backcountry skiing. When not plucking away at a keyboard, Madison teaches yoga and mountain bikes with her two Australian shepherds, Cholla and Poppy, through Missoula’s Rattlesnake Wilderness.
