EPA Tools and Resources Webinar: Monitoring Cyanobacteria with Satellites

On Wednesday, November 15th from 3:00pm to 4:00pm (EST), EPA will host a webinar to share information about how the use of satellite technology is now advancing to be used for water quality monitoring in lakes and reservoirs. During the webinar, EPA scientist Blake Schaeffer will highlight how federal agencies (EPA, NASA, NOAA and USGS) are collaborating to use real-world satellite applications that support environmental management of US lakes by quantifying cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) and related water quality parameters. This webinar will also discuss how provisional satellite derived cyanobacteria data and three different software tools are available to state environmental and health agencies for review and testing as part of the Cyanobacteria Assessment Network (CyAN). State environmental and health agencies, tribes, communities, researchers and others interested in learning about ways to monitor cyanobacterial blooms are encouraged to attend. REGISTER HERE
