Jason Gulley, Ph.D. is a geology professor at the University of South Florida, photojournalist and writer. His work has been published by international newspapers and magazines including: National Geographic, GEO, The New York Times and The Guardian. Jason’s research and photography career have taken him on expeditions to all seven continents, from underwater caves in Florida, the Caribbean and Africa as well as to glaciers in Alaska, the Arctic and the Mt Everest region of Nepal. He has a PhD in geology from the University of Florida (2010) and is a technical diving and rebreather instructor. Jason’s research emphasizes the human impacts on the environment and hydrogeology. Starting in 2020, Jason had an epiphany of sorts: scientists have never been more certain about how humans are impacting the planet, but the policy changes needed to protect the environment were not being implemented. Because more science seemed unlikely to change public perception, Jason decided to combine his photojournalism background and scientific expertise to tell compelling and science-based stories about our planet.
