About Christian

Dr. Christian Ohneiser is a lecturer in the Department of Geology at the University of Otago, where his research centers on paleomagnetism and its applications in reconstructing paleoenvironments, paleoclimate, and ocean circulation patterns. He earned his MSc and PhD from the University of Otago, with his doctoral thesis titled 'Late Neogene evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet - environmental-magnetic studies of New Harbour drill cores,' completed in 2012. Ohneiser's work involves studying sedimentary records from timescales of tens to millions of years, utilizing paleomagnetic and geochemical techniques to establish precise chronologies and infer past climatic conditions. This includes participation in research expeditions aboard vessels in the Pacific Ocean around New Zealand and to remote Antarctic field sites. His investigations reveal changes in sediment sources, erosion rates, ocean current strengths, and directions through environmental magnetic, geochemical, and sedimentological analyses.
