The Ricci flow on a manifold M is a smooth flow of metrics which
tends to ``smooth out'' the curvature on M in a manner analogous to how the heat
flow tends to smooth out heat distribution over a region.  In this talk we will
discuss the Ricci flow and a related geometric flow, called the Chern-Ricci
flow, on complex manifolds, and show how the maximum principle can be used to
give useful bounds on the derivatives of a metric evolving under such a flow.
