Case histories for Harmful Algal Blooms in desalination.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
Algae have long been an issue impacting desalination plant operation in areas prone to algal
blooms or where macroalgae (seaweeds) and detritus became dislodged from the seabed.
Previously and still today, operators and ...
The IHO-IOC GEBCO Cook Book.
(International Hydrographic Organization, Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IHO-IOC), Monaco, 2019)
GEBCO aims to provide the most authoritative publicly available bathymetric data sets for the world's oceans.
In order to assist and encourage further participation in bathymetric grid development work, GEBCO has created ...
Sargassum and Oil Spills Monitoring Pilot Project for the Caribbean and Adjacent Regions Workshop, México D.F., México 2 – 4 May, 2018.
(UNESCO, Paris, France, 2018)
In recent years, the Caribbean region has faced challenges from oil spills and an influx of floating sargassum seaweed. Large-scale oil spill incidents have included an April 2017 spill at Pointe-à-Pierre, Trinidad and ...
Deep Ocean Observing Strategy: Science and Implementation Guide.
(Deep Ocean Observing Strategy Project, Paris, France, 2019)
1. Identify Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) and evolve their
specifications to fully consider deep-ocean perspectives across
physical, biogeochemical, biological, and ecological variables over
the next decade. This ...
Indicator Methodology for SDG 14.3.1: Indicator description; Metadata template; Data template; Metadata instructions.[ 4 files]
(International Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2019)
This indicator is based on observations that constrain the carbon system, which are required to capture the variability in ocean acidity at locations providing ocean services. The carbon system in this context refers mainly ...
Algal issues in seawater desalination.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
Once harmful algal blooms (HABs) reach a desalination plant, they can cause significant
operational issues and potential health concerns for consumers. These issues stem from two
factors – first, the algal cells produce ...
Designing an observing system for early detection of harmful algal blooms.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a serious and growing threat to many desalination plants. It
is therefore important to limit the impact from HABs by preventing blooms from reaching
seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plants ...
Recommendations for improved and coherent acquisition and processing of backscatter data from seafloor-mapping sonars.
(2018)
Multibeam echosounders are becoming widespread for the purposes of seafloor bathymetry mapping, but the acquisition and the use of seafloor backscatter measurements, acquired simultaneously with the bathymetric data, are ...
Acquisition and analysis of remote sensing imagery of harmful algal blooms.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
Remote sensing was long considered an obvious tool for studying the distribution of harmful
algal bloom (HAB) organisms over larger spatial and shorter time scales than is possible with
ship-based sampling (Tester et al. ...
Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) and Desalination: a Guide to Impacts, Monitoring and Management.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO,, Paris, France, 2017)
Arid countries throughout the world are heavily reliant on seawater desalination for their
supply of drinking and municipal water. The desalination industry is large and rapidly
growing, approaching more than 20,000 ...
