Dr. Kenneth Broad - Extreme Scientific Filmmaking

Kenny Broad has participated in extreme scientific and filmmaking expeditions on every continent to gather information and samples that shed light on little-known environmental and cultural subjects. Broad and the late Wes Skiles received the National Geographic Explorer of the Year award in 2011. He regularly collaborates with ecologists, climatologists, hydrologists, psychologists, and a range of other strange ‘-ologists’ and has published dozens of scientific articles on topics ranging from risk perception to venomous snakes to natural resource management. Broad is a licensed U.S. Coast Guard captain, a commercial helicopter pilot, and he holds multiple diving ratings. He is currently a Professor at the University of Miami where he directs the Abess Center for Ecosystem Science and Policy. He is also co-director of the Center for Research on Environmental Decisions at Columbia University, where he received his Ph.D. in 1999. Broad was elected a Fellow National of the Explorers Club in 2009 and was named a National Geographic Emerging Explorer in 2006.
