Photo 3: Dr. Nan Walker, a research scientist at Louisiana State University's Coastal Studies Institute in Baton Rouge, La., (pictured on the left), will also work on the EMPACT project by assisting with daily satellite images of the area. With these real-time data, if algal blooms develop, more intensive field work and satellite imagery analysis can be initiated by both the U.S. Geological Survey and LSU.
