ORD harmful algal blooms forecasting project

On this page:

  • Overview
  Lake managers have limited data and resources to assess HAB risk and limited information to plan for HABs, including prioritization of resources for management actions (toxin testing, more frequent sampling) and health advisories (beach closures).¿ We will develop a literature-based evidence network to inform data analysis and modeling of HAB forecasting. The project will include open access datasets to develop forecasting model for data-sparse lakes. The goal will be to develop HAB forecast information for lakes, especially smaller lakes without satellite imagery.¿  

Impact/Purpose

As part of a virtual regional conference call about HABs, this presentation will provide a project outline for Region 5 and state partners interested in harmful algal blooms research.
