Department of Biological Sciences
Researchers at the Center for Ecosystem Forecasting have developed a system that can predict the quality of drinking water in lakes and reservoirs. By combining advanced sensor technologies, data analysis, AI, machine learning, and cyberinfrastructure, ecosystem forecasting tools have the potential to revolutionize environmental policy and security. This technology has now been applied to help manage lakes and reservoirs in countries around the world.
