Workshop: "Global Solutions to Regional Problems: Collecting Global Expertise to the Problem of Harmful Algal Blooms" at Bowling Green State University, Ohio on April 13-14, 2015

1515671Bullerjahn研讨会：区域问题的全球解决方案：收集有害藻类水华问题的全球专业知识研讨会的目的是确定了解水华形成，检测和缓解的主要知识差距，沿着对突出当前水华补救工作的案例研究的讨论。由于水华事件是一个日益全球化的现象，来自中国、欧洲和澳大利亚的蓝藻、有害藻类水华研究人员将聚集在一起，为世界各地目前的研究和缓解策略提供广阔的视角。研讨会的成果将是一份提交给同行评审期刊的手稿，该手稿总结了未来的研究目标和挑战，沿着当前CHAB控制的最佳实践。总的来说，讲习班将为今后的研究和执行补救议定书确定优先事项。该项目将不资助任何国际参与者。讲习班的地点位于2014年8月蓝藻和有害藻类水华事件导致50万居民的市政供水中断的流域。大众报章广泛报道这一现象，从而使公众了解有害藻华的威胁。该讲习班的理想定位是通过新闻媒体教育公众关于CHAB的原因，预防和事件应对，以便受影响地区的居民充分知情。讲习班发表的研究结果将通过同行评审文献向科学界广泛传播，讲习班手稿草稿将提供给海洋和大气管理局工作人员，以帮助他们通过《有害藻华和缺氧研究与控制法》采取战略行动。最后，BGSU的本科生将参加研讨会，研讨会的结果将推动区域和国家蓝藻，有害藻华控制的建议清单的形成。

1515671BullerjahnWorkshop: Global Solutions to Regional Problems: Collecting Global Expertise to the Problem of Harmful Algal BloomsThe objective of the Workshop is to identify the major knowledge gaps toward understanding bloom formation, detection and mitigation, along with discussion of case studies that highlight current bloom remediation efforts. Since bloom events are an increasingly global phenomena, bringing together cyanobacteria, harmful algal bloom researchers from China, Europe and Australia will provide a broad perspective on current research and mitigation strategies employed around the world. The outcome of the Workshop will be a manuscript submitted to a peer-reviewed journal that summarizes future research goals and challenges, along with current best practices for CHAB control. Overall, the Workshop will set priorities for both future research and implementation of remediation protocols. This project will not fund any international participants.The site of the Workshop is located in the watershed in which a cyanobacteria, harmful algal bloom event shut down the municipal water supply to 500,000 residents in August 2014. This phenomenon was widely reported in the popular press, thereby informing the general public to HAB threats. The Workshop is ideally positioned to educate the public through news media on the causes, prevention and event response to CHABs so that residents in affected areas are adequately informed. Published findings of the Workshop will be broadly disseminated to the scientific community through the peer-reviewed literature, and drafts of the Workshop manuscript will be made available to NOAA staff to help inform their strategic actions through the Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Research and Control Act. Lastly, undergraduate students at BGSU will participate in a seminar in which Workshop findings drive the formation of a list of recommendations for regional and national cyanobacteria, harmful algal bloom control.
