John Baker, Ph.D., Director

Dr. Baker is the founder of Geoengineering.global. He has a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering Sciences, Master’s in Science Education and Bachelor’s in Zoology, all from the University of Florida. For over 20 years, he has studied the ecology and primary succession of island ecosystems and the ecological factors that shape coastal communities in the gradient between dunes and maritime forest. In an effort to mitigate the effects of Global Warming on island ecosystems, for the last 5 years he has investigated geoengineering and other Climate Change mitigation approaches. He is currently focusing on the application of geoengineering approaches to ecosystem and watershed restoration.
