Michael Fong (Fed)
Research Chemist
Michael Fong’s research interests include the chemistry of the CO2 system in the ocean and the metrology of seawater pH measurements. Accurate pH and other CO2 measurements are critical to the ability of scientists to quantify long-term changes in the ocean’s carbon chemistry. At NIST, Michael is currently conducting research to improve the quality of spectrophotometric pH measurements with the indicator dye m-cresol purple.
