Wood has written on a broad menu of subjects, including taxes, dangerous coastal development, and the changing oceans. Wood has been nominated for Pulitzer Prizes four times. He was co-author of the series, Crisis on the Coast, published as a book, which warned five years before Katrina that an epochal hurricane disaster was inevitable. He has won numerous awards, including a National Association of Science Writers citation for his series on the Gulf Stream and a Society of Professional Journalists award for environmental writing.
