ORD harmful algal blooms forecasting project
On this page:
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.¿
