Eutrophication+Challenge

What can we do to predict occurances of algae blooms, toxic algae blooms (HABs, Red Tides, etc), and hypoxic "dead zones"?

In this challenge, you and your team will begin by checking into some background information on oceanic plankton blooms, and choose a question that you can answer using remote sensing data from satellites, oceanic buoys, etc.

Interesting questions might include, common characteristics of where blooms occur, when they occur, what conditions make them more severe.

You will then use the data to build a give us a picture of your question and what you found out.
