Blake Dyer

Blake Dyer is an Assistant Professor in Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of Victoria. His research investigates Earth history through sedimentary records, employing statistical approaches and geochemical analyses of carbonate rocks to reconstruct past climate conditions and sea-level changes. Dyer's work integrates field geology with computational modeling to interpret complex geological archives.

Research focuses on:

• Sea-level change reconstruction from carbonate sediments
• Stratigraphic expression of climate events
• Isotope geochemistry applications
• Machine learning in geological analysis

Recent publications examine Last Interglacial sea levels using U-series dating of Caribbean reefs and machine learning quantification of Antarctic ice discharge events. He supervises graduate students working on Neoproterozoic chemostratigraphy and Pacific paleoceanography.

Dyer's team conducts fieldwork globally including the Canadian Rockies, Turks and Caicos, and Australia. Current projects examine sedimentary responses to climate change across geological timescales.
