Remote Sensing of Alkaline-Saline Lakes: Applications to Flamingo Conservation

Image of arthrospira fusiformis, the dominant phyoplankton species in Lake Bogoria.The lesser flamingo of Kenya and Tanzania is a near-threatened species that feeds on bacterial biomass growing in the soda lakes of the Rift Valley. This interdisciplinary project investigates the connections between ecological and hydrological processes in alkaline-saline lakes, and demonstrates how satellite data can contribute to remote monitoring of ecosystems.
