Abstract NASA has led multispectral (≥3 wavelength bands) thermal infrared (TIR) sensor development from the earliest days of the agency. These data are critical in addressing a wide range of scientific questions and administration priories by measuring both temperature (for wildfire and volcanic eruption monitoring, agricultural plant stress, and ...

Are toxins from harmful algae a factor involved in the decline of harbour seal populations in Scotland? [PDF]
Firstly this study builds on the investigation initiated by Hall and Frame (2010), which found that Scottish harbour seals were exposed to domoic acid (DA), a potent natural neurotoxin produced by phytoplankton.

The Value of Information in Predicting Harmful Algal Blooms
Environmental decision-making is inherently subject to uncertainty. However, decisions are often urgent, and whether to take direct action or invest in collecting additional data beforehand is pervasive. To make this trade-off explicit, the value of information (VoI) theory offers a powerful decision analytic tool to quantify the expected benefit of ...

Scientific assessment of freshwater harmful algal blooms [PDF]
In 2004, Congress reauthorized the Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Research and Control Act of 1998 with the Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Amendments Act (HABHRCA 2004).

Quantifying Viral Lysis in Microalgae Using Cell‐Free rRNA
Cell‐free ribosomal RNA (rRNA) dissolved in seawater provides a quantitative proxy for viral lysis in microeukaryotic phytoplankton. Incubation experiments with two distinct host–virus systems revealed marked increases in cell‐free rRNA production per cell, a proxy for lytic mortality, reaching up to 46‐ and 302‐fold relative to noninfected controls ...

ABSTRACT Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) threaten human, animal, and ecosystem health and safety through production of toxic secondary metabolites. Microcystis, a cosmopolitan bloom‐forming cyanobacterial genus, is well‐known for producing hepatotoxic microcystins (MCs), but it can produce many other bioactive cyanopeptides, such as ...

Considering Harmful Algal Blooms
Problematic harmful algal bloom is wide and tenacious, upsetting estuaries, coasts, and freshwaters system throughout the ecosphere, alongside disturbing human health, social life as well as national economy. Particular environmental factors supports growth of algal blooms, temperature always is significant when speaking about water-ecosystem ...

Valuation of Marine Ecosystem Threshold Effects : Application of Choice Experiments to Value Algal Bloom in the Black Sea Coast of Bulgaria [PDF]
Algal bloom arises in part from anthropogenic emissions of nutrients into the coastal zone. Increased interest in water quality in coastal and marine areas stemming from the Water Framework Directive and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive leads to ...

Cyanobacteria blooms cannot be controlled by effective microorganisms (EM) from mud- or Bokashi-balls [PDF]
In controlled experiments, the ability of ‘‘Effective Microorganisms (EM, in the form of mudballs or Bokashi-balls)’’ was tested for clearing waters from cyanobacteria.

The Effects of Nutrient Additions on Kokanee in Dworshak Reservoir, Idaho
ABSTRACT We investigated the effects of whole reservoir nitrogen (N) addition on kokanee growth in Dworshak Reservoir, Idaho. We hypothesized that N addition would improve the growth of kokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka) at a given level of abundance by increasing the availability of Daphnia, an important food source.
