Michael Follows

Michael Follows is a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research focuses on modeling marine ecosystems to understand the relationships between microbial biodiversity and carbon and nutrient cycling in the ocean. He uses numerical models to investigate the interactions of physical transport, chemical, and biological processes that influence the distributions and fluxes of carbon and nutrients in the ocean. His work is supported by a research website and accessible through his Google Scholar profile.
