Climate change is intensifying the occurrence of harmful algal bloom (HAB), particularly cyanobacteria, which threaten aquatic ecosystems and human health through oxygen depletion, toxin release, and disruption of marine biodiversity.…
A disconcerting ramification of water pollution caused by burgeoning populations, rapid industrialization and modernization of agriculture, has been the exponential increase in the incidence of algal growth across the globe. Harmful algal…
Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning (DSP) is a global health threat arising from shellfish contaminated with toxins produced by dinoflagellates. The condition, with its widespread incidence, high morbidity rate, and persistent shellfish…
This paper describes the application of machine learning techniques to develop a state-of-the-art detection and prediction system for spatiotemporal events found within remote sensing data; specifically, Harmful Algal Bloom events (HABs).…
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are episodes of high concentrations of algae that are potentially toxic for human consumption. Mollusc farming can be affected by HABs because, as filter feeders, they can accumulate high concentrations of marine…
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) can threaten coastal infrastructure, fisheries, and desalination dependent water supplies. This project (REDNET-ML) develops a reproducible machine learning pipeline for HAB risk detection along the Omani…
Several theories have been proposed to explain the development of harmful algal blooms (HABs) produced by the toxic dinoflagellate \emph{Karenia brevis} on the West Florida Shelf. However, because the early stages of HAB development are…
