David Holland

David Holland is a Professor of Mathematics and Atmosphere/Ocean Science at New York University, affiliated with the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. His research focuses on ocean-ice studies, climate theory, and modeling. He investigates the interaction between Earth’s ice sheets and ocean waters, as well as the use of observational data to enhance polar climate models. Holland holds a Ph.D. in Atmospheric and Ocean Sciences from McGill University and has published approximately 200 peer-reviewed articles. He is an elected fellow of the American Geophysical Union and The Explorers Club.

David M Holland is a researcher at New York University focused on Ice-Ocean Interaction. His work explores the dynamics of ice shelves, glaciers, and their interactions with the ocean, particularly in polar regions. He investigates how ocean temperatures influence ice shelf basal melting, grounding line movement, and ice sheet stability. His research also examines the role of oceanic processes in shaping Antarctic sea ice and climate variability. Key areas of interest include thermodynamic ice-ocean interactions, circumpolar deep water intrusions, and the impacts of tropical teleconnections on Antarctic climate. His studies contribute to understanding the mechanisms driving rapid changes in polar environments and their implications for global sea level rise.
