Overview

Dr. Hayley Roberts is an international lawyer with a specialisation in the law of the sea. She was educated at the University of Wales, Bangor, completing a PhD on the legal protection of underwater cultural heritage in UK, US and international law in 2012. She joined as a Lecturer in Public International Law in 2013, became Senior Lecturer in 2019 and Reader in 2023. 

Dr. Roberts’ main research interests are in the areas of the protection of underwater cultural heritage and issues relating to climate change and the marine environment. She is currently writing a monograph on State-owned Shipwrecks and International Law, to be published with the University of Wales Press in 2024. She was recently PI on a AHRC/GCRF-funded grant that examined marine cultural heritage as a climate adaptation priority, working with a team of researchers in the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Please see the research tab for full details on research activity.

Dr Roberts is Vice-Chair of the Board of Commissioners to the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales, sits on the UK National Decade Committee for the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and is a member of UK Blue Shield (Underwater Heritage Working Group).

Dr. Roberts has been consultant to UNITAR for law of the sea training, serves on the Editoral Board of Ocean Development & International Law and is a member of the UKRI Talent Panel College.
