UQAM
Martin Roy obtained his doctorate in geology from Oregon State University in 2003 and then pursued postdoctoral research at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. Since 2005, he has been a professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at UQAM. His work focuses on the dynamics of ice sheets and their influence on past climate change, in particular through the study of large glacial lakes and their drainage episodes during the last deglaciation. He is also interested in the stratigraphy and provenance of glacial sediments, with the aim of applying knowledge of Quaternary geology to various applications relating to surface environments.
