Environmental controls, oceanography and population dynamics of pathogens and harmful algal blooms: connecting sources to human exposure
Coupled physical-biological models are capable of linking the complex interactions between environmental factors and physical hydrodynamics to simulate the growth, toxicity and transport of infectious pathogens and harmful algal blooms (HABs). Such simulations can be used to assess and predict the impact of pathogens and HABs on human health. Given the widespread and increasing reliance of coas...
متن کاملImpacts of climate variability and future climate change on harmful algal blooms and human health
Anthropogenically-derived increases in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations have been implicated in recent climate change, and are projected to substantially impact the climate on a global scale in the future. For marine and freshwater systems, increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases are expected to increase surface temperatures, lower pH, and cause changes to vertical mixing, upwell...
متن کاملMarine harmful algal blooms, human health and wellbeing: challenges and opportunities in the 21st century.
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 and thus sustain the benefits that humans obtain from these aquatic environments. However, some microalgal blooms can cause harm to humans and other organisms. These harmful algal blooms (HABs) have direct impacts on hum...
متن کاملMitigation of harmful algal blooms: The way forward
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) represent a broad suite of phytoplankton, macroalgae, and cyanobacteria that can have significant impacts on ecological resources, human health, and coastal economies. The specific impacts of HABs occur on multiple scales and will vary based on species, location, time of year, and proximity to key resources. Some blooms can disrupt entire ecological communities simpl...
متن کاملChapter 17 - Living with Harmful Algal Blooms in a Changing World: Strategies for Modeling andMitigating Their Effects inCoastal Marine Ecosystems
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are extreme biological events with the potential for extensive negative impacts to fisheries, coastal ecosystems, public health, and coastal economies. In this chapter, we link issues concerning the key drivers of HABs with the various approaches for minimizing their negative impacts, emphasizing the use of numerical modeling techniques to bridge the gap between obse...
