Dr. Harvey Nichols, Emeritus Professor of Biology at University of Colorado-Boulder, was born and educated in England and then recruited to a post-doctoral position at Yale. Following an appointment in the Dept. of Meteorology at University of Wisconsin – Madison, he spent 40 years as a professor in biology at CU- Boulder. His primary field is arctic paleo-ecology and ancient and modern climate history of the arctic (northern Canada and arctic Siberia) resulting from his expeditions into those regions. His esoteric studies of windblown pollen in the arctic led the Dept. of Energy to ask him to do similar research on windblown plutonium particles at the nuclear weapons establishment at Rocky Flats, which led to his 45 years of scientific criticism of their air-sampling equipment, operations, and hazardous residues. Nichols won the Boulder Faculty Assembly prize at CU-Boulder for Excellence in (Public) Service in recognition of his Rocky Flats work.
