cyanobacteria/chlorophyll monitoring

[innisfree...@gmail.com]

Hello all,
I'm working on a research project related to cyanobacteria blooms in our local watershed. I'm trying to design some new ways to monitor conditions and get more people involved and interested, perhaps via citizen science. I have two students working on taking aerial photos with a kite and rig this summer. But I'm considering whether we could use IR photography to monitor the growth of blooms.

There are other things we could be monitoring, like land use changes, or shoreline vegetation. But it seems like monitoring riparian vegetation could be tough via a kite or balloon because of the danger of getting tangled.

I saw some posts from a couple of years ago, but has anyone been continuing to work on this idea? Is it just too difficult to work out the combo of water and various types of plant materials that could be in the water?

thanks,
Innisfree

Hi there,

Great research ideas. Looping in the mapping and water quality groups.

Best,
