Oliver Wigmore is a Senior Research Fellow at the Antarctic Research Centre, Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, and holds an additional role as Senior Technical Advisor with the Department of Conservation in New Zealand. His research focuses on glacier and snow dynamics, alpine hydrology, high-resolution environmental monitoring using remote sensing and UAV technologies, and the impacts of climate change on mountain systems, including debris-covered glaciers and landslide susceptibility.
He has contributed to publications on topics such as monitoring tropical debris-covered glacier dynamics and national-scale modelling of rainfall-induced landslides under climate change scenarios. Wigmore has received the Royal Society Te Apārangi Rutherford Foundation Trust Postdoctoral Fellowship for work on debris-covered glaciers in New Zealand.
