Early warning system to detect algal blooms being launched by EPA
2015-04-11 15:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced today that it is developing an early warning indicator system using historical and current satellite data to detect algal blooms. EPA researchers will develop a mobile app to inform water quality managers of changes in water quality using satellite data on cyanobacteria algal blooms from three partnering agencies-- NASA, NOAA, and the U.S. Geological Survey. The multi-agency project will create a reliable, standard method for identifying...
