Former MIT Darwin Group member Keisuke Inomura, working with MIT CBIOMES investigator Mick Follows, presents a new quantitative model of nitrogen fixation in the presence of ammonium. Continue reading A Model for Nitrogen Fixation in the Presence of Ammonium
MIT Darwin Group Research Scientist Jonathan Lauderdale and Postdoc Maike Sonnewald, use a simple game involving Swedish Fish, inspired by principles put forth by ecologist Crawford Stanley (Buzz) Holling, to model connections between food abundance and predator consumption at MIT Museum’s 2019 Nautical Day, February 23rd. Continue reading Darwin Goes to Nautical Day at the MIT Museum

The Darwin Project’s Emily Zakem, Stephanie Dutkiewicz and Mick Follows show that physiological constraints and resource competition between phytoplankton and nitrifying microorganisms in the sunlit layer can yield this ocean trait. Continue reading Understanding Microbial Competition for Nitrogen
Ryan Woosley is a a marine physical chemist, focusing on the marine carbon cycle. A particular interest is in quantifying where and how much anthropogenic carbon is being taken up and stored in the ocean. He is also interested in improving the accuracy and precision of inorganic carbon measurements, specifically pH and total alkalinity. Continue reading New Research Scientist Ryan Woosley
