In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Optics
  • Ecology
  • Paleontology

Geoff A. T. Duller focuses on Thermoluminescence dating, Ice stream, Oceanography, Feldspar and Luminescence. He studied Thermoluminescence dating and Deglaciation that intersect with Global warming. His Oceanography study incorporates themes from Structural basin, Thinning, Stratigraphy and Chronology.

His Feldspar research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Head, Glacial period, Sediment and Clastic rock. The concepts of his Luminescence study are interwoven with issues in Wavelength, Radiometric dating, Sedimentary rock, Spectrometer and Mineralogy. His Ice sheet research integrates issues from Glacier, Paleontology, Trough and Substrate.
