Edward Boyle is a Professor Emeritus at MIT in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences. His work focuses on ocean geochemistry, particularly how oceans absorb and disperse heavy metals and pollutants, as well as understanding the evolution of Earth's climate over time. His interests include paleoceanography, paleoclimatology, and the chemistry of environmental waters. He conducts climatological studies of past ocean circulation patterns based on the fossil chemistry of oceanic sediments and investigates the control of late Pleistocene carbon dioxide pressure through ocean circulation chemistry. Boyle studies trace element variability in polar ice cores and investigates the trace element chemistry of rivers and estuaries, alongside the chemical composition of seawater. He is particularly focused on the variability of oceanic trace metals in relation to atmospheric transport, anthropogenic emissions, and the role of natural mineral dust in ocean science.
