Making a splash again!
We are excited to share some news straight from the world of limnology and algal biomass monitoring. Here is an article on Lake Balaton and an open-source online tool: lihuan.projects.earthengine.app/view/chla-ba...

Leveraging Landsat and Google Earth Engine for long-term chlorophyll-a monitoring: A case study of Lake Balaton's water quality
Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) is one of the critical water quality indicators that shows the eutrophication status of aquatic ecosystems. As the largest lake …

My latest research paper looked into the relationship between a pondweed with its epiphytic algae. These epiphytes hog the light that the pondweed needs for photosynthesis and mess with the way the pondweeds use the light.

Our new paper has surfaced!
We took a deep dive (👉) into the bustling microbial metropolis of #LakeBalaton and used some fin-tastic technology to uncover its hidden secrets. Turns out, this lake is teeming with many tiny inhabitants!

You can find more details in the paper:

Synchrony of algal blooms in neighbouring lakes: connectivity or territoriality - Hydrobiologia
The biological synchrony of neighbouring lakes in Central Europe was evaluated by analysing the concurrent time series of algal biomass variables using long-term (1999–2019) satellite (Landsat 7) deri...
