Microalgal blooms are a natural part of the seasonal cycle of photosynthetic organisms in
marine ecosystems. They are key components of the structure and dynamics of the oceans …

Plankton are transported onshore, providing subsidies of food and new recruits to surf-zone
and intertidal communities. The transport of plankton to the surf zone is influenced by wind …

The upwelling systems of the eastern boundaries of the world's oceans are susceptible to
harmful algal blooms (HABs) because they are highly productive, nutrient-rich environments …

Cultural eutrophication is frequently invoked as one factor in the global increase in harmful
algal blooms, but is difficult to definitively prove due to the myriad of factors influencing …

Robotic sampling is attractive in many field robotics applications that require persistent
collection of physical samples for ex-situ analysis. Examples abound in the earth sciences in …

Using field measurements and quantitative modeling, we demonstrate that red coloration of
the sea surface is not associated with any particular group of phytoplankton and is strongly …

The Core Research Project on HABs in upwelling systems, as a component project of the
international scientific programme on the Global Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful …

The red tide forming dinoflagellate genus Cochlodinium appears to be expanding globally,
as well as blooming and/or causing more economic losses within its previously reported …

It has recently been shown that inner shelf waters of NE Monterey Bay, California function as
an “extreme bloom incubator”, frequently developing dense “red tide” blooms that can …

Current operational approaches to ocean color remote sensing tend to be least accurate in
coastal regions with waters rich in terrigenous material. Semi-analytical models can be used …
