The New Frontier of Hurricane Resilience: Harmful Algal Blooms
The New Frontier of Hurricane Resilience: Harmful Algal Blooms
After hurricanes strike, toxic algae can bloom. In this course, we explain the magnitude of this environmental challenge and how our teams are helping confront it.
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
- Understand the causes and consequences of harmful algal blooms (HABs), and how they are connected to climate change
- Identify the ways in which hurricanes contribute to HABs, and how these blooms lead to environmental, economic and health impacts
- Understand the importance of incorporating new technologies to tackle the challenges of mitigating HABs
