2 1. 2005-2006 synoptic surveys 2. Remote sensing technique development 3. Spatial & temporal phytoplankton dynamics

3 1. 2005-2006 synoptic surveys 2. Remote sensing technique development 3. Spatial & temporal phytoplankton dynamics

4 10 km Bear River Farmington Bay Salt Lake City Gilbert Bay Gunnison Bay Causeway

5 Eutrophication --Ecology --Anoxia --Cyanotoxins --Artemia..? Nodularia bloom in Farmington Bay

6 2005-2006 Study Objectives Understand spatial dynamics of phytoplankton populations of the Great Salt Lake Assess impact of Farmington Bay eutrophication on larger Great Salt Lake

7 Limnology -Extracted chlorophyll -Secchi disk -In vivo fluoresence (Chl a, Phc) -Salinity -Nitrogen fixation -Phytoplankton -Zooplankton

8 Remote sensing -MODIS imagery -On-lake reflectance -Extraction chlorophyll -CDOM

36 Chlorophyll detection on the GSL Test GSL MODIS algorithm on other years Look at other satellite options MODIS land team, other MODIS algorithms, MERIS Use spectra to develop new algorithms bottom influence on signal phycocyanins - cyanobacteria Future applications of RS method Great Salt Lake use chlorophyll maps with Artemia populations use chlorophyll maps with hydrological modeling Other Saline Lakes… Next steps…
