Biogeochemical Flux Model

Scientific modelling framework to simulate the biogeochemical cycles in marine ecosystems



What is BFM, exactly?


The Biogeochemical Flux Model (BFM) is an open source code to simulate the dynamics of major biogeochemical properties in lower trophic levels of marine ecosystems. Learn more ...

Our mission is to enhance the understanding of worldwide marine ecosystem by delivering a modelling framework at best of present-day scientific knowledge.
