Dispersion, accumulation, and the ultimate fate of microplastics in deep-marine environments: a review and future directions
An estimated 8.3 billion tons of non-biodegradable plastic has been produced over the last
65 years. Much of this is not recycled and is disposed into the natural environment, has a …

The physics of wind-blown loess: Implications for grain size proxy interpretations in Quaternary paleoclimate studies
Loess deposits are recorders of aeolian activity during past glaciations. Since the size
distribution of loess deposits depends on distance to the dust source, and environmental …
