Paul Dunlop is a glaciologist and physical geographer who specialises in reconstructing Quaternary glacial environments in terrestrial and marine settings. Understanding how ice sheets operate over long-time scales provides critical information on the global climate system and the processes of climate change. This research area requires a multidisciplinary approach and Paul uses a variety of cutting-edge techniques to investigate glacial landscapes and environments that includes satellite remote sensing, GIS, marine geophysics, cosmogenic and radiocarbon dating to work out what was happening during the last glacial cycle to help us better understand the role that ice sheets and glaciers play in the global climate system.

Paul teaches satellite remote sensing and physical geography on a range of undergraduate modules for the BSc Hons Geography and Environmental Science degrees and supervises final year undergraduate dissertation projects. At postgraduate level he teaches satellite remote sensing for the PgDip/MSc in Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and supervises final year MSc research projects in GIS. Modules taught at both levels include:
EGM105 The Lithosphere
EGM116 Environmental Systems
EGM310 GIS and Remote Sensing
EGM713 Remote Sensing
