Paul Dunlop is a glaciologist and geoscientist 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 using satellite remote sensing, GIS, geology, 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. Since 2020 I have been leading scientic research into the causes of Ireland's defective concrete block crisis with international researchers in Switzerland, Canada and the USA. I am recipient of the Cement and Concrete Research 2023 Le Chatelier Distinguished Paper Award.
