A validation of satellite derived cyanobacteria detections with state reported events and recreation advisories across US lakes

Peter Whitman et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the performance of a satellite algorithm in detecting cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) by using state reported events and advisories. The results show that the satellite algorithm can complement traditional field observations and support management decisions.

Satellites quantify the spatial extent of cyanobacterial blooms across the United States at multiple scales

Blake A. Schaeffer et al.

Summary: Previous studies have shown an increase in the frequency, extent, and magnitude of cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) globally. This study used satellite data to quantify the spatial extent of cyanoHABs in over 2,000 lakes and reservoirs in the United States. The results provide important information on the current extent of cyanoHABs and rates of change.

Environmental controls of harmful cyanobacterial blooms in Chinese inland waters

Hai Xu et al.

Summary: Harmful cyanobacterial blooms are expanding in China's inland waters, with varying environmental factors controlling their dynamics. Shallow water bodies in China are highly susceptible to human activity and changing climatic conditions compared to deeper lakes. Rapid urbanization and industrialization, combined with climate change, have accelerated the onset and proliferation of cyanobacterial blooms in these regions.

Climatic versus Anthropogenic Controls of Decadal Trends (1983-2017) in Algal Blooms in Lakes and Reservoirs across China

Kaishan Song et al.

Summary: The study found significant changes in the temporal slope of the sum of normalized area, frequency, duration, and early outbreak of algal blooms (ABs) in lakes and reservoirs across China. Influenced by climatic factors, AB-impacted water bodies expanded longitudinally, and the time range of AB observation expanded starting in the 2000s.

Predicting algal blooms: Are we overlooking groundwater?

Andrea E. Brookfield et al.

Summary: Advances in understanding and predicting freshwater algal bloom dynamics have highlighted the significant role of groundwater inputs in modulating algal growth, depending on unique local conditions. The distinct chemistry of groundwater can either support or prevent algal blooms, with key mechanisms including the redox state of the subsurface and stability of groundwater discharge. More research is needed to improve predictions of algal blooms by considering changes in land use, water management, and climate impacting groundwater dynamics.

Satellite remote sensing to assess cyanobacterial bloom frequency across the United States at multiple spatial scales

Megan M. Coffer et al.

Summary: Satellite imagery was utilized to assess the annual frequency of surface cyanobacterial blooms in large lakes across the continental United States, revealing variations in bloom frequencies among different states and lakes. The results can help identify areas within lakes more prone to cyanobacterial blooms, as well as prioritize sampling resources and mitigation efforts.

Modeling Anthropogenic and Environmental Influences on Freshwater Harmful Algal Bloom Development Detected by MERIS Over the Central United States

J. S. Iiames et al.

Summary: Human and ecological health are threatened by the increase of cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms in freshwater systems. By utilizing random forest modeling, major drivers of cyanoHABs in freshwater lakes across the upper Midwest were identified, with low elevation lakes showing a 3 times higher mean CI_cyano value compared to high elevation lakes, along with significant influence of agrarian-related variables.
