Keith Bouma-Gregson, a PhD student at UC Berkeley, was recently featured in a local California news journal regarding his research. Part of Keith’s research involves monitoring algal blooms in the Eel River, a river that runs through Humboldt. The algae has been of particular interest and concern, as some of the algae—specifically certain cyanobacteria—is potentially lethal. Keith will be spending the next several summers collecting algae samples, analyzing toxicity, and, with the collaboration of other local groups and the general public, hopefully arriving at some conclusions as to what is causing the toxic blooms.
