Impact/Purpose:
Overview of new satellite applications for oil spills, seagrass, harmful algal bloom, and chlorophyll trophic monitoring.
Description:
CyAN is a multi-agency project to develop an early warning indicator system to detect algal blooms in U.S. freshwater systems. This research supports federal, state, tribal, and local partners in their monitoring efforts to assess water quality to protect aquatic and human health. The mission of the CyAN project is to support the environmental management and public use of U.S. lakes and estuaries by providing a useful and accessible approach to detecting and quantifying algal blooms and related water quality using satellite data records.
