Harmful Algal Blooms HABs Video Hub

monitoring algae harmful algal blooms in water

Live webinars and other recorded events are one of our favorite tools for educating others not only about our technologies, but even more broadly on the topic of Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs). We enlist not only our own experts but other Xylem experts and even customers to talk about HABs. Let us know if you have an idea for a HAB webinar or video or would like more information, using the Request Info form to the right.

Are You Ready for Harmful Algal Bloom Monitoring Season?

This webinar covers a foundational understanding of YSI Total Algae sensors, including how to calibrate them, which units to use, and how to interpret data gathered with sensors. Learn about early HAB detection and real-world data examples and challenges.

Red Tide Monitoring

What role does continuous water quality monitoring play in our detection and response? Find out in our latest harmful algal bloom webinar from Dr. Stephanie A. Smith of YSI Integrated Systems & Services. This webinar covers an overview of red tides and red tide monitoring solutions.

Monitoring for Harmful Algal Blooms - Part 1

Harmful algal blooms have increased in both frequency and intensity in the last two decades, due to climate change and other activities. Dr. Stephanie A. Smith provides a basic overview of bloom-fonming algae and a review of the toxins that are of human health concern.

The Essentials of Phosphorus Removal in Wastewater

Learn how phosphorus behaves in wastewater and why it should be removed. This session also covers different phosphorus removal strategies, the pros and cons of each, and how to apply orthophosphate monitoring to phosphorus removal applications.

Action on Algae

In a showcase for the 2020 Stockholm International Water week, three approaches were featured: multiparameter monitoring for early detection of HABs, control of algal growth in source water with a novel ultrasonic buoy, and Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) to destroy toxins and taste and odor compound.

Expand your HAB Horizons with High-Resolution Mapping

Harmful Algal Blooms are so prevalent in Clear Lake, California, that it is one of the most heavily monitored lakes in North America. Learn about the factors that cause them and how AUV data sets can help in the study of HABs.

How Algae Sensors Work - Principles and Practice in Water Quality Monitoring

Learn about the underlying principles and best practices to use with algae sensors. Dr. Stephanie A. Smith also discusses why you should monitor for algae and the evolution of algae monitoring. Includes 30 minutes of Q&A with Dr. Smith.

Safeguarding Source Water

Join Dr. Arash Zamyadi of the University of New South Wales, Australia, as he discusses his most recent work deploying optical sensing technology to monitor for harmful algae blooms in raw water. Dr. Arash will share his wealth of experience and research knowledge.

Drowning in Data: Monitoring Harmful Algal Blooms

Are you drowning in data? Join Dr. Stephanie A. Smith of YSI Integrated Systems & Services, and Chuck Springer of Aquatic Informatics as they review best practices for managing and interpreting algae data. Part 2 of YSl's Monitoring Harmful Algal Blooms series.

Solve a Major Water Quality Issue - Harmful Algal Blooms

This webinar discusses harmful algal blooms and how YSI Vertical Profiler systems can provide a total solution for your water quality monitoring needs. Learn about the environmental and man-made factors that can contribute to HAB growth and monitoring tools for early detection.
