Marine plastic debris floating on the ocean surface is a major environmental problem.
However, its distribution in the ocean is poorly mapped, and most of the plastic waste …

Plastic debris is the most common and exponentially increasing human pollutant in the
world's ocean. The distribution and impact of plastic in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans have …

Microplastics (MPs) pollution is one of the most important problems of the Earth. They have
been found in all the natural environments, including oceans and the atmosphere. In this …

Despite the omnipresence of microplastics (MPs), the studies around the western
continental shelf of Indian Ocean (Eastern Arabian Sea-EAS) are uncovered and …

Following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon accident of a massive blow-out in the Gulf of Mexico,
scientists from government, industry, and academia collaborated to advance oil spill …

Plastic is an emerging pollutant, and the quantities in rivers and oceans are expected to
increase. Rivers are assumed to transport land-based plastic into the ocean, and the fluvial …

Microplastics (MPs, less than 5 mm in size) are widely distributed in surroundings in various
forms and ways, and threaten ecosystems security and human health. Its environmental …

This paper reviews physical mechanisms, observation techniques and modelling
approaches dealing with surface currents on short time scales (hours to days) relevant for …

Vertical and horizontal transport mechanisms for marine oil spills are investigated using
numerical model simulations. To realistically resolve the 3-D development of a spill on the …

Abstract Since 2011, the Caribbean Islands have witnessed unprecedented massive
stranding of a pelagic brown algal Sargassum spp. inducing damages for coastal …
