Dr Christina Riesselman is a leading geologist piecing together a climate change jigsaw with sediment extracted from under the seabed. 

Based at Otago University's Geology and Marine Science departments, Christina says her work gives her "an amazing magnifying glass into the past" and can help us predict future climate possibilities.

Christina  won the 2015 L'Oréal foundation UNESCO For Women In Science Australia & New Zealand Fellowship, has gathered information about past periods of global warming and cooling on the ANDRILL programme and is one of the few Kiwis to work on research vessel the Joides Resolution.
