Harrison completed his MS in 2021, titled “Monitoring Algal Abundance, Water Quality, And Deploying Microbial Sensors Along the Central Arizona Project.” Over two years, he conducted field surveys of the Central Arizona Project canal system, helping to identify and isolate nuisance algae, track algae bloom events, and assist in the deployment of autonomous sensor platforms to remotely monitor these events across nearly 200 miles. He also completed preliminary studies of encapsulating algae in microbeads, which contributed to Department of Energy proposals.
