Frederick C. Michel's work focuses on composting science, including how different organic materials (manure, biosolids, yard trimmings, and other agricultural or municipal waste) break down and release gases such as odor-causing sulfur compounds and greenhouse gases. His research also extends to related topics like biodegradable plastics, microbial communities in soils and growing substrates, and compost quality for use in agriculture and environmental protection. This work is generally applied and process-oriented, aimed at improving waste management and composting technologies.
