Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are overgrowths of algae or cyanobacteria in water and can be harmful to humans and animals directly via toxin exposure or indirectly via changes in water quality and related impacts to ecosystems services, drinking water characteristics, and recreation. While HABs occur frequently throughout the United States, the driving conditions behind them are not well...

From sample to sonde to Sentinel-2: Insights from a multi-scale chlorophyll-a monitoring effort in the Hudson River, New York From sample to sonde to Sentinel-2: Insights from a multi-scale chlorophyll-a monitoring effort in the Hudson River, New York
Monitoring cyanobacteria and other nuisance phytoplankton in the Hudson River is of great interest given its societal and ecological importance. Satellite remote sensing provides a cost-effective method to monitor chlorophyll-a (chl-a), a common proxy for algal biomass; however, the dynamic nature of rivers complicates approaches traditionally applied to lakes and oceans. During 2021...

An evaluation of cyanobacterial occurrence and bloom development in Adirondack lakes An evaluation of cyanobacterial occurrence and bloom development in Adirondack lakes
Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) have occurred in many low nutrient (oligotrophic) lakes in the northeastern United States. The Adirondack Park in New York is a large, mountainous region with many low nutrient lakes. There is a gap in understanding regarding whether cyanoHAB reporting data are truly reflective of the susceptibility of lakes to develop bloom conditions. We...
