About Nicolas

Professor Nicolas Cullen is a Professor in the School of Geography at the University of Otago. He holds an MSc from the University of Canterbury and a PhD from the University of Colorado. Appointed at the University of Otago in 2006, his research encompasses all aspects of meteorology and climatology, with a focus on the cryosphere. This includes interactions between the atmosphere and snow and ice surfaces in high and mid-latitudes and tropical high mountains such as Kilimanjaro. Cullen has led extensive field programs, including long-term meteorological observations on Brewster Glacier in New Zealand's Southern Alps since 2011, expeditions to Mount Kilimanjaro, and fieldwork on the Greenland ice sheet summit. His studies integrate field data, remote sensing, and modeling to examine glacier-climate interactions, mass balance processes, and climate change impacts on frozen water resources, seasonal snow, air pollution meteorology, and wind energy potential.
