Christina Riesselman is an American paleoceanographer whose research focus is on Southern Ocean response to changing climate.[1][2][3]

Early life and education

After completing her bachelor's degree at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in Geology and English in 2001, Riesselman spent time at the Joint Oceanographic Institution in Washington DC, then moved to Stanford for her PhD which was completed in 2011.[1]

Career

Following postdoctoral work as a Research Scientist with the US Geological Survey, she moved to the University of Otago, New Zealand in 2013.[4]

Riesselman uses diatom micropaleontology and stable isotope geochemistry in marine sediments to examine the evolution of the Antarctic cryosphere through the Cenozoic.[5][6] She also participates in collaborative investigations into the modern controls on phytoplankton community structure.[7]

Awards and honors

Riesselman won the inaugural L’Oréal-UNESCO Fellowship for Women in Science New Zealand in 2015.[4][8][9]
