Christina Riesselman

Associate Professor Christina Riesselman is a paleoceanographer with a focus on Southern Ocean response to changing climate. Her research employs diatom micropaleontology and geochemical proxies from a range of sedimentary environments to examine the response of Antarctic, Southern Ocean, and mid-latitude systems to global change. Her portfolio includes investigations into both proximal processes (i.e. the efficiency of primary production under various climate regimes) and distal controls and responses (i.e. the efficiency of overturning circulation; sea level history).
