Christian is part of the BGS Informatics Solutions team, supporting the maintenance of existing applications and platforms, as well as the delivery of new information products. He does so using GIS and programming tools, to manipulate spatial data and organise data packages to meet the needs of the Informatics team and its cross-cutting initiatives.
Christian completed his undergraduate’s degree in Marine Geography along with an Integrated Masters in Earth Sciences at Cardiff University, which was later followed by a Master’s in Geography and Geoinformatics from the University of Copenhagen.
