Collaborative Research: Quantifying the genetic basis of the cyanobacterial environmental — NSF Award to Michigan State University
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are increasing in frequency and severity in lakes, rivers, and coastal areas around the world. Fueled by nutrient runoff and changing weather patterns, HABs threaten aquatic ecosystems, harm public health, and damage local economies including fisheries and tourism that depend on clean water.

| Abstract | Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are increasing in frequency and severity in lakes, rivers, and coastal areas around the world. Fueled by nutrient runoff and changing weather patterns, HABs threaten aquatic ecosystems, harm public health, and damage local economies including fisheries and tourism that depend on clean water. Despite the growing impact, major challenges exist to predicting when and where HABs will occur. This project aims to transform how we forecast these events by understanding the b |
