Dennis Dimick is an American journalist, photographer, presenter, and educator.
He served for years as executive environment editor for National Geographic magazine and was a picture editor for the National Geographic Society for more than 35 years until retiring in December 2015. He continues in a consulting editorial role.
Dimick is interested in making visual the effects on earth of humanity’s expanding presence in the emerging Anthropocene epoch. This new “age of man” is marked by a rise in long-term impacts resulting from our expanding quest for resources, energy, water, and food.
He has written on these issues and guided several major magazine projects: a September 2004 “Global Warning” issue on visible climate change, an April 2010 issue on freshwater scarcity, a 2011 series on world population at 7 billion, and a 2014 “Future of Food” series on global food security. He orchestrated 2014 projects on effects of coal for energy, and on long-term effects of drought and snowpack loss in the Western United States.
Dimick grew up on a sheep and hay farm in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, and he holds degrees in agriculture and agricultural journalism from Oregon State University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
