Christina Hulbe is a geophysicist who studies how and why polar ice sheets change over time. While she got her start in a remote west Antarctic field camp, most of her research today is computational, using mathematical models and remote sensing to investigate modern systems and the recent past. Since arriving at Otago, she has initiated two projects involving change on the Ross Ice Shelf. One of those took her back to Antarctica in the spring of 2015 to work with an excellent interdisciplinary team from around Aotearoa New Zealand. They returned again this year to continue their investigation into the vulnerability of the Ross Ice Shelf in a warming world. Today she focuses on math foundations in surveying and geospatial science and keeps up her Antarctic teaching through collaboration with the Department of Marine Science.
