Clarissa R. Anderson

I am a biological oceanographer with expertise in ecological forecasting and remote sensing. My research has focused on the prediction of harmful algal blooms in coastal ecosystems as well as the fate and transport of harmful toxins to deeper waters and sediments. As research faculty at UC Santa Cruz, I established the California Harmful Algae Risk Mapping (C-HARM) system with NASA support. I continue to work on phytoplankton projects at Scripps Institution of Oceanography where I manage SCCOOS.
