https://www.pagepressjournals.org/aiol <p><strong>Advances in Oceanography and Limnology</strong> (<em>AIOL Journal</em>) is the official publication of the <a href="http://www.aiol.info/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Italian Association of Limnology and Oceanology</a> (A.I.O.L.).</p> <p>The <em>AIOL Journal </em>publishes original research articles and reviews on different topics and novel discoveries in the fields of limnology and oceanography. 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&amp;F</a>.</p> PAGEPress Publications en-US Advances in Oceanography and Limnology 1947-5721 <p><strong>PAGEPress</strong> has chosen to apply the <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial 4.0 International License</strong></a> (CC BY-NC 4.0) to all manuscripts to be published.</p> https://www.pagepressjournals.org/aiol/article/view/12584 <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> Fabio Buzzi Chiara Agostinelli Renata Alber Andrea Beghi Eugenia Bettoni Enrico Bressan Ketty Caraffini Elisa Carena Francesca Caviglia Matteo Dossena Pier Luigi Fogliati Riccardo Formenti Giorgio Franzini Romana Fumagalli Federica Giacomazzi Francesca Lazzeri Manuela Marchesi Eleonora Masala Paola Montanari Mariano Nasello Francesco Nastasi Franca Pandolfi Francesca Vietti Damiano Virgilio Samuel Vorhauser Chiara Zampieri Elisa Zanut Copyright (c) 2025 The Author(s) http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-03-04 2025-03-04 16 1 10.4081/aiol.2025.12584 https://www.pagepressjournals.org/aiol/article/view/12986 <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> Mariano Nasello Eleonora Masala Gaia Villa Anna Di Lauro Samuele Peraboni Simona Vercelloni Franca Facchini Anna Molinari Nicoletta Castelli Copyright (c) 2025 The Author(s) http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-03-04 2025-03-04 16 1 10.4081/aiol.2025.12986
