What will I learn?
This Phycology Course equips you with practical skills to monitor, interpret, and manage freshwater algal communities. You will learn sampling design, microscopy, chlorophyll-a and nutrient analysis, diversity indices, and HAB early-warning metrics. Explore key algal groups, eutrophication indicators, and small-scale bioremediation systems, with clear protocols, reference tools, and reporting guidance for real-world water quality projects.
