Joanna L. Dyl is a native Californian who grew up in various ecosystems of the American West. She earned her B.A. from Stanford University and her Ph.D. from Princeton University. At Princeton, she discovered the field of environmental history, which allowed her to merge her love of history with her passion for the environment. Her dissertation received the Rachel Carson Prize for the best dissertation of the year from the American Society for Environmental History. Dyl has taught both history and environmental studies at the University of South Florida, Franklin & Marshall College, and the University of Redlands. She also spent a year at Amherst College theorizing about catastrophe as a fellow with the Copeland Colloquium. Her research interests include urban environmental history, natural disasters, coastal environments, and environmental justice. She is currently working on a project about American beaches and teaching in the Environmental Analysis Program at Pomona College. When not working, Dyl is a competitive volleyball player good enough to have lost to numerous pros and even a couple of Olympians. She also enjoys yoga, hiking, and reading fantasy and science fiction. She lives in Southern California only a few miles from the San Andreas Fault.
