dc.description.abstract | The proliferation of harmful phytoplankton in
marine ecosystems can cause massive fish kills,
contaminate seafood with toxins, impact local
and regional economies and dramatically affect
ecological balance. Real-time observations are
essential for effective short-term operational
forecasting, but observation and modelling
systems are still being developed. This volume
offers guidance for developing real-time and
near real-time sensing systems for observing and
predicting plankton dynamics, including harmful
algal blooms, in coastal waters. It explains the
underlying theory and discusses current trends in
research and monitoring.
Topics treated include: coastal ecosystems and
dynamics of harmful algal blooms; theory and
practical applications of in situ and remotely
sensed optical detection of microalgal
distributions and composition; theory and practical
applications of in situ biological and chemical
sensors for targeted species and toxin detection;
integrated observing systems and platforms for
detection; diagnostic and predictive modelling of
ecosystems and harmful algal blooms, including
data assimilation techniques; observational
needs for the public and government; and future
directions for research and operations.
This anthology should inform the work of
researchers and environmental monitors as
well as teachers and trainers concerned with
understanding the causes, predicting the
occurrences and mitigating the effects of harmful
algal blooms in marine ecosystems. | en_US |
