Gloria Dickie is a Canadian award-winning journalist and author.
She is currently based in Bangkok, Thailand.
With over a decade of experience reporting on stories at the intersection of the environment, science, and geopolitics, she has written for The New York Times, The Guardian, Foreign Policy, Wired magazine, and Scientific American magazine, among others.
Dickie previously spent four years as a global climate and environment correspondent at Reuters News Agency in London.
Much of her career has focused on the warming climate and shifting politics of the Arctic region. Her current reporting lines include geoengineering, air-conditioning and extreme heat, biodiversity conservation, and natural hazards, from wildfires to volcanoes to tsunamis.
Dickie’s debut book, Eight Bears, was chosen as a best book of 2023 by The New Yorker, The Economist, and Scientific American, shortlisted for the 2023 Banff Centre Mountain Book Awards, and received second place in the 2024 Rachel Carson Environment Book Awards.
Dickie was a finalist for the 2022 Livingston Award for Young Journalists in the international reporting category for her Scientific American feature on climate change on Svalbard. Her explanatory coverage of the biodiversity crisis and beat reporting on the Arctic have both been recognized in the Society of Environmental Journalists’ reporting awards. In 2018, she was named a National Geographic Explorer.
As a foreign correspondent, Dickie has reported from more than 20 countries and six continents. She has lived at the front range of the Rocky Mountains in Boulder, Colorado (and, for a spell, in the tiny town of Paonia); near the Canada-Alaska border in drizzly Prince Rupert, British Columbia; a stone’s throw from Hampstead Heath in north London; and, now, in a major hub of Southeast Asia.
Her literary work is represented by Aevitas Creative Management.
