Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are an issue associated with eutrophication, the presence of excess nutrients in water. Rapid growth of organisms like cyanobacteria can deplete oxygen levels, increase stratification, and produce harmful toxins. NexSens automated detection systems can help track HABs and predict when potentially hazardous conditions are forming.
Offshore buoy monitoring systems, the advanced instruments they carry, and the data they provide are used in a broad range of applications. Some of these include scientific research, marine and weather forecasting and more.
Researchers at Buffalo State University are studying water and weather at the deeper and less algae-prone eastern basin of Lake Erie near Dunkirk, New York.
