Miss Christina Thiele BSc (Hons), MSc

Postgraduate research student

Christina completed her undergraduate degree in Environmental Science at the University of Sussex. During that time, she developed an interest in anthropogenic impacts on marine ecosystems – mainly human-induced pollution. She then embarked on an MSc in Marine Biology at Bangor University to broaden her knowledge in marine ecology and animal behaviour.

Christina is a qualified divemaster and has experience in monitoring biodiversity in the Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Thailand using SCUBA. Coral reef conservation and maintenance of artificial reefs were part of her job when she lived in Thailand. She gained some teaching experience at college and university level in data management and Geographical Information Systems during a conservation project in a Honduran cloud forest.
