     Broad explores the relationship between climate, society and natural-resource management. He received his Ph.D. in anthropology from Columbia University in 1999 and is an assistant professor in the Division of Marine Affairs and Policy and the Center for Ecosystem Science and Policy at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. He holds a joint appointment at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, is on the Executive Committee of the Center for Research on Environmental Decisions based at Columbia University, and is a member of the NOAA Science Advisory Board (Climate and Global Change Working Group).

    Working in the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean, Broad studies climate impacts and human perception, the use and misuse of scientific information, decision making under uncertainty, marine protected areas and issues of societal equity. Broad has taken part in and led scientific and film expeditions around the globe, including the exploration of one of the world's deepest caves in Mexico's Huautla Plateau. Broad was selected for the 2006 National Geographic Society Emerging Explorer award.
