Principal Technician – Marine Biogeochemistry
Earth Sciences New Zealand
Stacy is a Principal Technician in Marine Biogeochemistry with a research background in climate change impacts on Antarctic phytoplankton community composition and productivity. She is an expert in the technical application of marine biogeochemistry and microbial ecology research, specialising in sampling methods and equipment development for field applications. She is an expert in the operation of scientific equipment (e.g., Flowcam & flow cytometry), analytical assays (e.g., exopolymetric substances (EPS) & radioisotope-labelled productivity assays), experimental design, and laboratory and hazardous substances management.
In the Antarctic Science Platform, Stacy’s research spans diverse fields, including phytoplankton community composition and productivity, biogeochemistry (carbon, trace metals), sediment trap time series, and marine sediment properties (EPS).
