Jonathan D. Cybulski

Historical ecologist and science communicator 

Dr. Jonathan Cybulski is a historical ecologist and science communicator, National Geographic Explorer, Swire Scholar,  Smithsonian Fellow,  and TEDx Speaker. He is currently the Programme Coordinator and Assistant Lecturer for the Integrative Marinece Ecology and Conservation MSc at the University of Hong Kong. He is also an affiliated researcher at The University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography in Dr. Kelton McMahon's Ocean Ecogeochemistry lab, as well as a fellow at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute.

Jonathan's research focuses on the story of marine ecosystems - what they were like in the past, how they have grown and changed into their present state, and what this might mean for their persistence into the future. Specifically, he is interested in the human-environment interactions that shape these ecosystems across space and time. Jonathan uses a combination of historical research, biogeochemistry, archaeology, ecology, and geology to understand and communicate the story of these ecosystems through time.

Through his science communication and storytelling, Jonathan hopes to accomplish one main goal: humanise science and those who practice it, to foster its understanding and appreciation for all.
