Laurence Dyke

Dr. Laurence Dyke is a Lecturer in Hydrography and Marine Science at the University of Plymouth, affiliated with the School of Biological and Marine Sciences under the Faculty of Science and Engineering. His research focuses on glaciology, oceanography, and climate change, particularly in Greenlandic environments. He investigates ice-ocean interactions, glacier dynamics, and paleoenvironmental changes using sediment cores and proxy data. His work includes studies on sediment discharge from glaciers, Holocene glacial history, and the influence of ocean currents on Arctic ice sheets.

Key research interests include the response of tidewater glaciers to climate variability, reconstruction of historical glacial activity, and the role of oceanographic factors in shaping Arctic ecosystems. Dr. Dyke’s studies often integrate multi-proxy analyses (e.g., foraminifera, lithofacies, geochemical data) to unravel long-term environmental changes.

His recent articles highlight trends in Greenlandic glacial retreat, sediment proxy applications, and the interplay between ocean warming and calving processes. These contributions advance understanding of Arctic climate sensitivity and glacial stability under modern warming conditions.
