About Jonathan Bujak

Alexandra Bujak is an environmental scientist who has published extensively on modern Azolla. She is co-founder with her father, Jonathan Bujak, of the Azolla Foundation which provides information and advice about Azolla use as a CO2 sequester, biofertilizer and livestock feed. The Foundation has more than forty thousand associates and works with charities like Hope for Ebola Orphans Sierra Leone (H4EO) to increase rice yields using Azolla and provide funding for schools needed to teach Sierra Leone’s thousands of Ebola orphans, giving them hope and the key to a sustainable future. Dr Jonathan Bujak is a palaeontologist with more than 100 scientific publications. He was a senior research scientist with the Geological Survey of Canada and Petro-Canada International Aid Corporation in the 1970s and 1980s, training geologists and leading geological expeditions into the interior of Colombia, Jamaica and Venezuela before founding Bujak Research International. Dr Bujak was also involved with the only two geological expeditions to the North Pole: The 1979 Lomonosov Ridge Experiment (LOREX) and the 2004 Arctic Coring Expedition (ACEX) that discovered the Eocene Azolla Event when Azolla repeatedly covered large areas of the Ocean for 1.2 million years, triggering the change from a greenhouse climate towards our icehouse world with its permanent glaciation at both poles. Alexandra and Jonathan published ‘The Azolla Story’ in December 2020.
