Dave Roberts

Professor Dave Roberts is affiliated with Durham University's Geography Department, where he specializes in glacial processes and ice sheet dynamics. His research spans Greenland ice sheet history, British-Irish Ice Sheet reconstruction, and subglacial processes.

Research Focus:

• Greenland ice sheet evolution during the last glacial cycle
• British-Irish Ice Sheet dynamics in North Sea and Irish Sea regions
• Ice stream behavior and response to climate forcing
• Glaciomarine processes and sea-level changes

Scientific Publications demonstrate expertise in:

• Glacial landform analysis
• Subglacial sedimentology
• Ice margin oscillations
• Quaternary chronostratigraphy
• Paleoceanographic reconstruction
• Modern glacial process analogs

Students:

• Eileen Brendler-Spaeth (MScR)
• Jacqueline Pealing

Key Collaborations: Involved in major projects including NEGIS Project (2016-2021), KangGlac project (2024-2028), and BRITICE-CHRONO.
