Alexander Robel

Dr. Alexander Robel is an Associate Professor in the School of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, part of the College of Sciences. His research focuses on climate, oceanography, and cryospheric science, with a particular emphasis on glaciers, ice sheets, and sea level change. He holds a Ph.D. in Earth and Planetary Science from Harvard University (2015) and a B.S. in Physics and Earth Sciences from Duke University (2010).

Research Interests: Dr. Robel’s work addresses critical questions in cryospheric science, including ice-ocean interactions, climate modeling, and the dynamics of ice sheets. His studies integrate computational and mathematical modeling to explore topics such as glacier stability, sea level rise, and the impacts of climate variability on polar regions. Key themes include the stochastic parameterization of ice dynamics, the role of subglacial hydrology, and the statistical analysis of climate forcing on glacial systems.

Publications Trends: Recent work emphasizes advancing stochastic models for ice sheet projections, quantifying biases in climate-ice sheet interactions, and analyzing oceanic drivers of glacial retreat. His studies often bridge observational data with theoretical frameworks, offering insights into both near-term and long-term climate impacts.
