Christina Hulbe is an American Antarctic researcher, and as of 2016[update] serves as professor and Dean of Surveying at the University of Otago in New Zealand.

She contributed to the understanding of ice-shelf instability, with some of the first papers that identified surface meltwater as an agent in the break-up of Larsen B ice shelf (in 2002).

In 2017 Hulbe led an expedition as part of a New Zealand project seeking to drill through the Ross Ice Shelf[3] which was the first mid-shelf penetration since J9 in the late 1970s.

[6] Hulbe has been heavily involved with the International Glaciological Society (IGS) and oversaw its transition from a mode of service to the community to an open access publishing provider.

She also chairs the University of Otago Equity Advisory Committee and has written a history of women in glaciology and has campaigned extensively against armed conflict.
