Blue-green algal blooms close reservoirs and threaten water supplies because they’re poisonous – and even deadly – to animals, humans and the environment.
CSU Chemical and Biological Engineering Professor Brad Reisfeld is leading a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency grant to develop a low-cost, floating early warning system that could help stem illness and environmental threats from algal blooms.
The $25,000 People, Prosperity and the Planet (P3) student design competition grant to CSU also includes Professors Steve Simske in Systems Engineering, and Ed Hall in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Sustainability, Warner College of Natural Resources.

Daniel Dominguez’s passion for the natural environment brought him to CSU.
Daniel Dominguez’s passion for the natural environment started while he was in the Marine Corps, serving as an avionics technician for the Presidential helicopter detachment.
In his spare time, he took hikes around Quantico, Virginia, a far cry from his hometown’s urban landscape. Those initial treks eventually led to a cross-country odyssey after his departure from the Marines that covered more than 20 states as well as Canada, Mexico and Cuba.
“I really started to get an appreciation for the natural environment,” says Dominguez, who is graduating from the Warner College of Natural Resources with a bachelor’s degree in watershed science. “Growing up, I was never able to grow that relationship with our natural environment. I grew up in the inner city of San Diego.”
