Gaia Vince Biography

Gaia Vince is an award-winning science writer, author, Anthropocene researcher, global strategist, traveler, broadcaster, analyst, and speaker. She is particularly focused on the interaction between human systems and Earth's planetary systems, having extensively traveled the world to research this dynamic.

Gaia writes books and articles for prominent outlets including the BBC, The Guardian, New Scientist, Australian Geographic, and Science. She also creates and presents science documentaries for radio and television, and is the presenter of BBC Inside Science. Additionally, she delivers talks around the world. In her earlier career, Gaia held senior editorial positions at leading science journals such as Nature, Nature Climate Change, and New Scientist magazine. Her work has earned her numerous awards, including the 2024 European Geosciences Union Angela Croome Award for excellence in Earth, space, and planetary science journalism.

She is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow at UCL’s Anthropocene Institute, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, Manufacturing and Commerce (RSA), a founding member of the Climate Migration Council, and a National Oceans Centre Ambassador. Gaia studied chemistry and physics at university, with a research focus on crystallography, and later pursued master’s degrees in engineering and journalism.

Gaia believes that we are living in a unique period in Earth's history, where climate change, globalization, communications technology, and a growing human population are altering our world and ourselves in unprecedented ways. She documents these changes by engaging with ordinary people, scientists, and heads of state as we navigate the Anthropocene.

After traveling around the world for 800 days, Gaia documented her journey, which extended over 2.5 years, and used this experience as the basis for her book Adventures in the Anthropocene. This work won the Royal Society Prize for Science Books, making her the first woman to receive the award.

Her second book, Transcendence, examines how humanity evolved from a smart ape into a planet-dominating force. The book rewrites the story of human 'ascent,' highlighting the co-evolution of our biology, environment, and culture. It was shortlisted for the Royal Society Prize for Science Books.

Gaia's latest book, Nomad Century, provides an urgent investigation into the most underreported yet seismic consequence of climate change: the inevitable shift in where—and how—we live. The book offers solutions and serves as a call to action, outlining how we can plan for and manage the unavoidable climate migration while working to restore the planet to a fully habitable state.
