Sediment in a water column provides excellent substratum for microorganism colonization,
and biological processes would alter the physical and chemical of sediment, resulting in …

Physical and dynamic properties of marine microplastic (MP) particles are summarized, with
relevance to their behavior in the coastal zone. The density range, size classes, and typical …

Microplastic fibres are the most abundant microplastics in waterways worldwide. The settling
of fibres is distinct from other particles because of their aspect ratio and shape. In this paper …

Degraded plastic debris has been found in nearly all waters within and nearby urban
developments as well as in the open oceans. Natural removal of suspended microplastics …

Organic matter (OM) and suspended sediment are abundant, and interact with each other, in
rivers and lakes. OM is usually adsorbed by suspended sediment and causes either particle …

Scientific research on sediment dynamics in the coastal zone and along the littoral zone has
evolved considerably over the last four decades. It benefits from a technological revolution …

River confluences are key features of a river network, and their effects on contaminant
transport and transformation need to be understood to control the contamination of a river …

The seasonal variation in concentration of transparent exopolymer particles (TEPs),
particulate organic carbon (POC) and particulate organic nitrogen (PON) were investigated …

To better understand the nature of flocs of varying organic content in estuarine surface
waters, Laser in situ Scattering and Transmissometry, video settling, and pump sampling …

Understanding the behaviour of particulate organic carbon (POC) with sediment transport
allows for a more accurate estimation of global carbon cycling and the conditions of aquatic …
