Monitoring cyanobacteria and other nuisance phytoplankton in the Hudson River is of great interest given its societal and ecological importance. Satellite remote sensing provides a cost-effective method to monitor chlorophyll-a (chl-a), a common prox...
Shallow lakes worldwide face escalating pressures from eutrophication and climate change, yet comprehensive monitoring of Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) spatiotemporal dynamics remains challenging due to the high costs and logistical constraints of traditiona...
Vibrio vulnificus (vvh) is an epidemiologically significant bacterium that naturally occurs in coastal waters under favorable environmental conditions and causes one of the highest mortality rates among known foodborne pathogens. Little is currently ...
Marine phytoplankton are crucial to oceanic ecosystems, yet trends in their activity, monitored through chlorophyll a, remain uncertain due to observational limitations. We generated an ocean chlorophyll a dataset (2001 to 2023) across low to mid-lat...
Lakes across the globe are experiencing growing ecological pressure from climate change and human activities. In prairie regions, these pressures often result in shifts in phytoplankton abundance, a key indicator of water quality. Yet identifying the...
Declining water quality poses serious environmental and public health risks, with chlorophyll-a serving as a key biological indicator of harmful algal blooms. This study evaluates the use of a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network to forecast ...
Phytoplankton-derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a major pathway for atmospheric CO transfer to long-lived oceanic DOC reservoirs. Yet, current models rarely accounted for its molecular and taxonomic heterogeneity across growth seasons. Here, ...

Water management in semi-arid regions faces challenges due to water scarcity and the need for continuous quality monitoring. This study evaluates the use of remote sensing to analyze a reservoir's water quality status in Brazil's semi-arid region to ...
The excessive growth of phytoplankton in water can deplete oxygen, release toxins, harm aquatic life, cause economic losses, and threaten coastal residents. Accurately predicting phytoplankton levels is crucial for safeguarding marine life and coasta...
