Biography

Daniel Wolfe grew up in Baltimore and spent summers swimming in the Chesapeake Bay. Foraging for crayfish and blue crab and searching for oysters and seashells is a possibility he wants for his family and others for years to come. In his work, he examines how our ecosystems are affected by climate change and geopolitics, with a focus on affected communities. He uses remotely sensed data, mapping, and visualizations to connect readers to the changing world around them. As a Pulitzer Center fellow, he investigated the mysterious die-off of gray whales along the Pacific Coast and its connection to the warming waters in the arctic. Currently he works for the Washington Post as a graphics reporter based out of New York City. His past includes CNN, Quartz, the Urban Institute and the technology companies Tesla and Planet.
