Funded Activity Summary

Predicting Lyngbya blooms: impact of iron transformation kinetics on flux, distribution and rate of uptake of bioavailable iron and phosphorus. Bioavailable iron has been shown to be one of the key drivers to growth of the toxic cyanobacterium, Lyngbya majuscula. In this project, a model describing the kinetics of transformation between the various iron species that exist in natural waters will be developed and this model coupled with transport codes such that reliable predictions of the flux of bioavailable iron to Moreton Bay, its distribution in the Bay and its bioavailability to Lyngbya can be made. The impact of iron transformations on the bioavailability of phosphorus within the Bay will also be elucidated.
