Research summary

W. Berry Lyons studies the chemistry and hydrology of polar and other aquatic environments, with a strong focus on Antarctica's McMurdo Dry Valleys lakes, streams, and glaciers. His work examines how rocks and ice interact with water (chemical weathering), how water moves through and beneath glaciers, and how these processes connect to microbial life and soil ecosystems in extreme, cold environments. This research helps explain how polar landscapes respond to and record past and present climate conditions.

Publication output was fairly steady to strong from 2017 through 2023 (often 10+ papers per year) but has dropped noticeably in 2024-2026, suggesting a recent slowing in output.
