The Challenge | To Bloom or Not to Bloom

Your challenge is to solve the mystery behind algal blooms! What factors cause blooms in some water bodies but not others, and how can we better predict their occurrence to prevent harm to aquatic and human life?

Mystery of algae bloom

We use data model to study the growth of algae under several parameters we set and predict the result to better moitor and prevent the algae bloom
