    Ashley Gonzalez (USACE Jacksonville) and Megan Hamersky (Kansas Biological Survey) prepare to deploy a mooring buoy for an ERDC monitoring initiative.

    ERDC enhances HAB detections through interactive, real-time dashboard

    A team from the the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is making strides to combat harmful algal blooms (HABs) through its innovative Depth Resolved Algal Bloom Mapping (DRABM) initiative. By creating an interactive, real-time dashboard that visualizes subsurface water quality data, ERDC is transforming how HABs are detected and managed, helping to protect public health, support local economies and enhance flood risk management operations.
