Papers may deal with different or single physical, chemical and biological aspects, including biomolecules, populations and communities, ecosystem functioning and interactions between global change and ecosystems. Environmental monitoring and studies of regional importance will be considered only if they contribute to the general advance of aquatic sciences. Multidisciplinary articles linking different scientific disciplines (e.g., community ecology and metabolomic/toxicology, ecology and phylogenetic, water quality and economy…) are equally considered. Particularly welcomed are studies focusing on marine and freshwater ecosystems.</p> <p>Two regular issues of the <strong>Advances in Oceanography and Limnology</strong> are published each year. In addition, Special Issues and Proceedings that focus on topics that are timely and of interest to a significant number of aquatic scientists are published. From 2010 to 2014, previous issues of the <em>AIOL Journal</em> have been published by <a href="http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/taol20/current">T&F</a>.</p>https://www.pagepressjournals.org/aiol/article/view/12584Cyanobacterial blooms in the Po River basin and the eastern Alps2025-03-04T10:38:56+00:00Fabio Buzzif.buzzi@arpalombardia.itChiara Agostinellif.buzzi@arpalombardia.itRenata Alberf.buzzi@arpalombardia.itAndrea Beghif.buzzi@arpalombardia.itEugenia Bettonif.buzzi@arpalombardia.itEnrico Bressanf.buzzi@arpalombardia.itKetty Caraffinif.buzzi@arpalombardia.itElisa Carenaf.buzzi@arpalombardia.itFrancesca Cavigliaf.buzzi@arpalombardia.itMatteo Dossenaf.buzzi@arpalombardia.itPier Luigi Fogliatif.buzzi@arpalombardia.itRiccardo Formentif.buzzi@arpalombardia.itGiorgio Franzinif.buzzi@arpalombardia.itRomana Fumagallif.buzzi@arpalombardia.itFederica Giacomazzif.buzzi@arpalombardia.itFrancesca Lazzerif.buzzi@arpalombardia.itManuela Marchesif.buzzi@arpalombardia.itEleonora Masalaf.buzzi@arpalombardia.itPaola Montanarif.buzzi@arpalombardia.itMariano Nasellof.buzzi@arpalombardia.itFrancesco Nastasif.buzzi@arpalombardia.itFranca Pandolfif.buzzi@arpalombardia.itFrancesca Viettif.buzzi@arpalombardia.itDamiano Virgiliof.buzzi@arpalombardia.itSamuel Vorhauserf.buzzi@arpalombardia.itChiara Zampierif.buzzi@arpalombardia.itElisa Zanutf.buzzi@arpalombardia.it<p>In this paper, we briefly describe episodes of cyanobacterial blooms that have occurred in lakes of northern Italy since 2000. In addition to listing the species involved in these blooms, we provide information on the trophic and ecological status of the water bodies and the presence of algal toxins. Furthermore, we report an example of a risk assessment effort aimed at developing a quality control system for water intended for human consumption. The use of high-frequency monitoring techniques, integrated with predictive modelling, remote sensing, and molecular analysis for species identification, is becoming increasingly important in the context of the effects of ongoing climate change.</p>2025-03-04T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 The Author(s)https://www.pagepressjournals.org/aiol/article/view/12986Safety of water for human consumption: a case study from Northern Italy2025-03-04T10:38:53+00:00Mariano Nasellomariano.nasello@ats-brianza.itEleonora Masalaeleonora.masala@ats-brianza.itGaia Villagaia.villa@ats-brianza.itAnna Di Lauroanna.dilauro@ats-brianza.itSamuele Perabonisamueleperaboni@gmail.comSimona Vercellonisimona.vercelloni@ats-brianza.itFranca Facchinifranca.facchini@ats-brianza.itAnna Molinarianna.molinari@ats-brianza.itNicoletta Castellinicoletta.castelli@ats-brianza.it<p>Water is essential for health, and climate change can compromise its quality. The Local Brianza Health Protection Agency (ATS) has initiated a biennial monitoring project of water supply sources to ensure safe and clean water access, in line with the United Nations (UN) Agenda 2030. The project has identified vulnerabilities in the water supply chain, finding the presence of cyanobacteria in 19.7% of samples. Risk assessment results show that climatic conditions could influence the vulnerability of sources.</p>2025-03-04T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 The Author(s)
