Monitoring fresh water, brackish water and saltwater for harmful algal blooms is more important than ever, as early detection can mitigate effects on human health, habitats, wildlife and industry. While managing biofouling for coastal and freshwater deployments presents a constant challenge, better instrumentation and strategic techniques can help you make the most of your monitoring network and minimize the time devoted to field visits and routine maintenance.

Join In-Situ Application Development Manager Brock Houston for an exploration of application-specific challenges and how to select and deploy instrumentation for an effective and efficient HAB monitoring program.

In-Situ Application Development Manager for Coastal Brock Houston will discuss common challenges of HAB monitoring projects and how you can simplify data collection. He will cover:

• Antifouling: How to make the most of powerful antifouling technology to get quality data with lower maintenance requirements
• Options for monitoring: What are the benefits of deployment for continuous data collection vs. spot checking
• Instrumentation: Capabilities of current instrumentation for spot sampling, profiling and remote, continuous monitoring
• Smart Sensors: Sensor capabilities and the value of a larger platform to monitor more parameters
• Case Studies: Examples of field research models and potential solutions

This webinar will cover topics useful for anyone monitoring surface or coastal water quality or those interested in doing so. It will be particularly helpful for:

• Researchers
• Field technicians
• Environmental engineers
• Hydrologists
• Data analysts
