The Red Tide Phenomenon

Join Professor Drew Lucas from Scripps Institution of Oceanography as he delves into the intriguing phenomenon of red tides. In this enlightening talk, you'll discover the behaviors of Lingulodinium polyedra, the primary organism behind these glowing marine events. Professor Lucas's groundbreaking research, featuring tools like an underwater microscope and a wave-powered profiling device, sheds light on the 2020 red tide's secrets. Gain insights into the complex swimming patterns of phytoplankton, their nutrient uptake strategies, and the resulting effects on marine ecosystems. This program offers an in-depth look at marine ecology and underscores the vital role of technological innovation in oceanographic research. [2/2024] [Show ID: 39251]

Cool..... I'm not sure how you can remove waves horizontal and vertical, but if you did, it's really amazing. So, with all this research , had anyone prolific a hypothesis on how to control this danger? I know nitrates were blamed for a ton of this... run off from farmers' fertilization, homeowners fertilization, etc.

Why. Explain how this research helps us to do more than just understand the thing. Tell us how this connects to solutions in the real world.
