Keeping Track of harmful algal blooms in U.S. freshwater

Summary edit

Description
English: Given the right conditions of water, sunlight and nutrients, cyanobacteria can multiply rapidly and form extensive “blooms.” Some species of cyanobacteria also have the ability to produce toxins that can affect the central nervous system, the liver, and other systems. When these species bloom and produce toxins, they create large areas of harmful algal blooms.

Dr. Seegers is part of a multi-agency effort which includes NASA, EPA, NOAA, and the USGS. The Cyanobacteria Assessment Network (CyAN) Project uses historic and current satellite data to detect algal blooms in U.S. freshwater systems.
