Evelyn ArmstrongEvelyn Armstrong is a Senior Research Fellow at the Department of Marine Science and maintains the NIWA / University of Otago Research Centre for Oceanography's phytoplankton culture collection. The isolates are sourced from the Antarctic and subantarctic with new strains added periodically.

Nutrient and photo-physiological experiments using these cultures are performed to better understand the role of these organisms in their natural waters and how they may be affected by climate change.
