Project Title: Rapid Detection of Algal Toxins in Minnesota Lakes

Category: B. Water Resources

Summary: We will use satellite data to identify potentially HAB-impacted lakes, then apply genomics based models developed in this project to quantify cyanotoxin exposure risk in target lakes.

Total Project Budget: $ 830,326
Proposed Project Time Period for the Funding Requested: June 30, 2023 (3 yrs)
