Dr. Tamie J. Jovanelly (aka Dr. Jo) is a Professor of Geology and a Research Affiliate at Berry College, Georgia. She received her PhD from Kent State University, her MS from the University of Nebraska, and her BS from the University of Michigan.
Over two decades, her research has been broad-scoping and impressive. She is the sole author of the award-winning and best-selling monograph Iceland: Tectonics, Volcanics, and Glacial Features (Wiley, 2020).
In continuation of her investigations in climate change, she received a Research Scientist position on a cruise to the International Territories of Svalbard in 2022.
Dr. Jo’s forthcoming book Volcanoes: What Everyone Needs to Know (Oxford University Press, July 2026), draws on more than 20 years of global research to provide an accessible exploration of how volcanoes shape our landscapes, climate, cultures, and travel experiences around the globe.
With more travelers seeking meaningful, educational, and experience-driven adventures, Dr. Jo offers a unique perspective on why geology is becoming one of travel media’s most fascinating emerging subjects. Through her tours and fieldwork, she’s seen firsthand how volcanoes, glaciers, tectonic landscapes, and national parks can transform the way people connect with science and the natural world.
