• Cyanobacterial (CB) blooms are becoming a global concern due to the increasing
  prevalence of eutrophication. The dependence of CB dynamics on phosphorus and light inputs is
  modeled via a stoichiometric approach. The dynamics occur in distinct phases that allow us to make
  use of multiple timescale analysis to uncover the driving mechanisms of each phase. As a result,
  we are able to approximate the length of time a bloom persists. This framework helps to establish
  the use of multiscale methods in stoichiometric models and provides deeper understanding of CB
  dynamics.
