San Diego, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMara Freilich is a physical-biological oceanographer and Faculty Fellow with nine years of research experience probing how oceans and microbial ecosystems shape the climate system. She blends numerical ocean modeling, analytical theory, remote sensing, at-sea observations, and microbial genomics to link physical dynamics to ecosystem function and carbon cycling. Currently appointed at Brown University and the Center for Chemical Currencies of a Microbial Planet, Mara brings a rare combination of quantitative training (PhD from the MIT–WHOI Joint Program, BS in Applied Mathematics) and hands-on fieldwork. Her work emphasizes microbial ecology and the overlooked role of small-scale physical processes in biogeochemical fluxes, and she actively engages community groups to translate climate science into environmental justice action.
